Grimmy, who shot to fame on BBC Radio 1 in 2012, was celebrating his 40th birthday with his mother Eileen earlier this month when he was targeted by the gang in a terrifying night time raid. While Nick had rented the villa to celebrate the milestone with his family and fiancé Mesh Henry, it is believed the gang had no idea who he was and the address was targeted as it was known to be 'used by high net worth clients'.
A source told The Sun : 'Sadly Nick’s villa was on the target list - simply due it being known for being used by high net worth clients. 'The gang would have had no idea who he was. Sadly it’s a case of the wrong place at the wrong time but it’s scary to say the least.
