By Richard Holliday, Evening Standard
Actress Alexandra Aitken told today how she cowered under her duvet as burglars ransacked her London home.The 22-year-old daughter of disgraced former Tory minister Jonathan Aitken was awakened by suspicious noises in her Kennington flat early on Sunday.
She said: "I heard noises, but I wasn't sure whether it was the people in the flat downstairs, so I just hid under my duvet.
"It was terrifying - awful. I didn't even have my phone to hand, so I couldn't call the police until much later because I didn't dare leave the bedroom."
She later discovered the thieves had taken money, jewellery and other items worth an estimated £5,000. "I wasn't insured. It's going to be very expensive," she added.
In July Alexandra was attacked by four muggers who escaped with her mobile phone.
