JLS star JB Gill breaks his silence after thugs sprayed him in the face in terrifying 3am raid
JLS star JB Gill has broken his silence on the terrifying raid on his family home which took place in his £1.5m farmhouse.
The singer has been trying to take “each day as it comes” after the horrifying 3am attack in November 2020.
Jonathan Benjamin Gill, known as JB, 35, was sprayed in the face by robbers while his wife Chloe Tangney, 33, was threatened with a knife at their home in Kent.
Four thugs ambushed the family in the middle of the night, while their two children, Ace, seven, and Chiara, three, were home.
He was taken to the hospital for treatment at the time, and they were said to be “extremely shaken” by the incident.
Security has now been beefed up at the secluded farmhouse, with the National Crime Agency investigating the incident.
Speaking to MailOnline he said: “We are taking each day as it comes! We just really want to protect our children!
“We’ve not spoken about it much in public on purpose. But, we are taking each day as it comes.

“We just really want to protect our children. Our family is very important to us and it underpins everything that we do.”
Security has since been beefed up at the secluded home after being left shaken, but thankfully escaping serious injury.
JB also praised his wife Chloe – who he married in 2014 – for being incredibly motivating whenever the upbeat star has a rare down day.
He added: “Everyone has days where they don’t feel as motivated as usual.
“Generally I’m very motivated and my wife is very motivating. We see each other as a partnership.
“When she’s down it’s my role to step in and gear her up, and vice versa. Chloe and I are incredible ambitious.
“Every year we do a vision board of things we want to achieve. Last year we pretty much achieved everything on our board.
“Vision boards are so important. It’s just a reference. If you do get side-tracked you’ve got something to reference and go back to.
“We should all have dreams. We’re never too old to dream.”
JB shot to fame with four-piece JLS in 2008 when they finished runners-up on The X Factor.
They split in 2013 with an estimated £6million fortune each. A reunion was delayed by Covid.
JB moved on to farming after snapping up an 11-acre property on the outskirts of London.
He has also been one of the main presenters of the children’s TV show, Down on the Farm, alongside Storm Huntley.
JB now grows veg and breeds livestock, keeping pigs and turkeys — with Christmas customers including members of Little Mix.
