Davinia revealed the cars were stolen in the middle of the night as she appealed to people from her local area in Lancashire to watch out for any of the vehicles being sold on.
In the video post, Davina said: "So at 2.30am last night, some guys came and nicked mine and Matthew's cars.
"Family car, Matt's cars. I've got two pictures of them and then I've got a video of them robbing it.
"But I'm just wondering if anyone in the Blackburn/Clitheroe/Lancashire area clocks these cars or if someone tries to sell you them, they're stolen.
"What a wonderful, wonderful way to start half term. Scum. Scumbags everywhere."
She captioned the clip: "Still waiting on a crime reference number @lancspolice.
"Btw I smashed up the back of the Audi last year so it's by no means a bargain whatsoever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Wtf is up with people. Dirty little rats (sorry rats)."
Fans were quick to respond with messages of support and one said: "Oh my god! What is wrong with people! Sending you all the love. Argh, I'm so angry for you! "
Another added: "Sorry to hear that!"

While another said: "Happening all the time!! Four in an estate over the last couple of weeks here in Hertfordshire- it's so bad!!
"They'll have plates off and it'll prob be abroad by now."
And a fourth added: "I really sympathise! Our car was stolen off our drive at 3am the night before NYE.
"Luckily I was awake (something was definitely telling me not to sleep) I reported it straight away, they caught them, arrested them, then released them and still nothings been done!
"They found spare number plates in our car and they'd infiltrated our wifi so our Ring doorbell caught nothing.
"Car was written off and we're out of pocket because of it! Still makes me mad thinking about it!"
The news comes days after Davina won her battle to turn a barn into a gym and health spa at her historic country home.
Davinia, 47, played Jude Cunningham in Hollyoaks and is also a former party girl and member of the Primrose Hill set, having previously been married to David Beckham 's pal Dave Gardner.
She and husband Matthew Leyden bought their historic country home four years ago after it came onto the market for the first time in years.
Last week, Davina also opened up about her former party life and revealed that if she had "one more drink, she could have died."

My ADHD made me sleep in sauna on work trip, says sacked female exec
A drunk female executive who claimed she was sacked for spending the night in a hotel sauna during a work trip was discriminated against over her ADHD, a tribunal has ruled. Shannon Burns said her condition made her experience a 'great deal of forgetfulness' which resulted in her spending the night outside her suite when she misplaced her room key. The engineer, who was on £220,000 a year, was dismissed for her behaviour at the off-site event in Austria in April 2023 despite her claims that male colleagues were 'far more intoxicated' than her and faced no punishment. She was told her antics had 'eroded trust and confidence' in her and that she should 'lead the team by example' as a senior employee at the software company. Ms Burns, an American, is now in line for compensation after successfully suing for discrimination with a judge ruling that she experienced a 'great deal of forgetfulness' as a result of her ADHD. Employment Judge Rachel Wedderspoon said that while Ms Burns had been intoxicated, being 'disorganised' is a feature of the condition and contributed to her misplacing her keys that evening. The tribunal heard Ms Burns was headhunted for a senior role at Gitpod, which she took with the promise of a six-figure salary plus an equity package potentially worth more than £30 million. 'Tech bro' culture She claimed she was the victim of sex discrimination and complained of the rampant 'tech bro' culture at the 'male-dominated' firm that hired her. But the judge rejected this and said that her dismissal had nothing to do with her gender and was instead down to the fact that she displayed 'a lack of professionalism'. The employment tribunal, held in Birmingham, was told that Ms Burns, who has dyslexia, was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in 2015. It was heard that the condition caused her to experience a 'great deal of forgetfulness' and she would 'persistently' lose items such as her keys and phone. 'Disorganised and forgetful' Upholding her disability discrimination claims, Judge Wedderspoon said: '[Ms Burns] had consumed quite a lot of alcohol on one night of the offsite when she got locked out of her room. 'However, being disorganised and forgetful may be features of ADHD. 'The tribunal found that losing her keys on the first occasion and being locked out was likely to be something arising from her forgetfulness, a feature of [Ms Burns'] ADHD. 'However, drinking alcohol is likely to have played a part of being locked out later in the evening... 'Insofar as [Ms Burns] was criticised for being locked out in the evening the tribunal finds that this was likely in part to be as a result of the combination of her alcohol consumption and her forgetfulness which is something arising from her disability of ADHD.' Her claims of sex discrimination were dismissed and the judge said Ms Burns was not dismissed for being drunk and was instead sacked 'in part for her behaviours by reason of being drunk'. The judge added: 'She displayed a lack of professionalism namely lack of executive presence as a vice-president. That had nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that [Ms Burns] is a woman.'

Jarrod Bowen gives an insight into his and Dani Dyer's emotional wedding day and reveals what he really thinks about his wife's upcoming stint on Strictly Come Dancing
Jarrod Bowen gave and insight into his and Dani Dyer's emotional wedding day and revealed what he really thinks about her upcoming stint on Strictly. Speaking in the latest episode of Ironcast with Chris Scull and Carlton Cole, the footballer, 28, recalled 'the moment it all felt real' as he teared up. The former Love Island star, 29, and the West Ham captain tied the knot during an intimate ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family in June. Jarrod admitted that he 'got bored' waiting around in the morning before the ceremony but it soon hit him when people started arriving. He joked: 'When I saw everyone I was like "oh God, someone has turned the pollen up in here." Jarrod also recounted his wife's dad, Danny Dyer 's speech, and revealed how the EastEnders actor struggled to keep it together. 'He had this script and his hand was shaking, then is lip was going. Then he started talking about me and how close we are and that's what got him,' he laughed. 'I think he was declaring is love for me rather than his little Danny on the day. 'I said it in my speech I think if Danny senior could have been up there and taken my hand in marriage he would have.' Dani was announced as one of the celebrities taking part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing just a few weeks ago and is already the favourite to win. Giving an insight into his wife's dancing skills, Jarrod added: 'Deep down she is competitive, I know she has that inner drive. 'I have no idea what her dancing is like I've only seen her after a few tequilas. I'm not doing any practising with her. 'I do think she will be good though when she puts her mind to something, she's good.' After the contestants were announced last week, Dani became the early favourite to lift the Glitter Ball trophy with bookies having her at 4/1. Meanwhile, professional football manager and former player Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink comes in last at 25/1 meaning viewers could see him be the first to head home. According to Ladbrokes' figures, YouTuber George Clarke comes in second to Dani at 6/1. The Apprentice's Thomas Skinner and Vicky Pattison became the latest stars to join the ensemble when they confirmed their participation in the BBC show on Thursday. They followed the announcement of trailblazing model and influencer Ellie Goldstein, Drag Race star La Voix and rugby player Chris Robshaw. But it seems Dani in particular already has everyone talking, before the full line-up has even been announced. Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: 'Dani Dyer is the current pick of this year's Strictly pack, but with contestants still to be announced, we could soon see someone waltz past her to the head of the betting.'
