Max Morley – who won the first-ever series of Love Island back in 2015 – revealed the shocking news on social media, telling fans his house was raided twice in just a month.
The 31-year-old, who now works in property, said the thieves caused chaos, leaving him feeling unsafe in his own home.
Taking to Instagram, Max wrote: "House been broken into 2nd time in 4-weeks.
"Scruffs did it between 7-8pm. Any information please drop me a message."
Love Island host Caroline Flack announced Max and Jessica Hayes, both 22 at the time, had won Love Island's first series.
The smitten couple, who chose to share the £50,000 prize, received the most votes from the public after famously romping in the Mallorca villa as cameras rolled.
Max, a professional cricketer from Huddersfield, settled with brunette Jess despite temporarily leaving her to couple up with her arch-rival Naomi Ball.
The win was even more remarkable as Jess was drafted in at the last minute, having previously been told she had not made the cut.
But just six weeks after their triumph, the winners dramatically split when Max was caught spending the night with Geordie Shore reality star Charlotte Crosby.
The Huddersfield hunk went on to appear on MTV's Ex On the Beach in 2017.
I won the first ever Love Island but the fall out from my instant fame was so brutal I've given up sex for good, says Jessica Hayes
According to YorkshireLive, Max now works as an associate consultant.
The reality star's love life has also been in the public eye since his time on Love Island, such as dating the likes of Laura Anderson.
Max also became a dad and he loves to share snaps of his son on Instagram.
Meanwhile, Jess blames reality TV fame for sending her into a downward spiral.
Love Island 2015 line-up
The first season of Love Island (UK), which aired in 2015, featured a diverse group of contestants.
Initial Islanders: The first group of contestants included Jess Hayes, Jon Clark, Hannah Elizabeth, Jordan Ring, Luis Morrison, Zoe Basia Brown, and Lauren Richardson.
Early Entrants: Chris Williamson, Danielle Pyne, Omar Sultani, and Rachel Christie were also among the first to enter the villa.

Winning Couple: Jess Hayes and Max Morley emerged as the victors of the inaugural season.
She told The Sun on Sunday: 'I'm so done with romance and dating.
'I don't want to fall in love. I just want peace and I'm down with being celibate.
'I don't miss sex or hugs or kisses. I don't miss men at all, to be honest.
'Right now, I don't know what's wrong with me. I think I'm traumatised."

ITV production staff hit out at 'rubbish' household names escaping jobs amid bloodbath
Richard Madeley is among names remaining in roles on ITV programmes, like Good Morning Britain, despite a huge cull this summer - a bloodbath which will see more than 200 off-screen roles cut Backroom staff at ITV are reportedly "furious" to see "the little people get the boot" in favour of "the big names" amid the broadcaster's bloodbath. ITV is making huge changes to its daytime programming, and is axing more than 200 off-screen roles as a result. Good Morning Britain is merging with ITV News, but all of their top presenters – who include Susanna Reid, Richard Madeley, Julie Etchingham and Tom Bradby – will remain in post for now at least, it is said. Madeley, 69, penned a short-term deal to remain in his position for six more months at least. It is understood Kate Garraway is safe – as is presenter Adil Ray, who looked set to be axed. Instead, insiders say his shifts will be cut. Yet, ITV was brutal to axe Noel Edmonds' big TV comeback after just one series despite its huge launch. And the daytime cuts primarily affect tireless production staff, who work off screen. The consultation period, which will determine who will be the victims of these brutal financial cuts, has been underway for some months and employees are said to be angry with the situation. One insider told Mail Online: "All the big names are staying while the little people get the boot. It is horrendous. You'd think if you wanted to save a big lump of cash you could get rid of some of the presenters. There are loads of them. But no, instead they've all been told they are safe." For now, everyone on Good Morning Britain and ITV News will continue their separate shows. This Morning's presenters will also stay in situ. In response to this, he insider added: "The cuts will fall to those who earn pennies in comparison. When this was all announced, we thought some of the stars would go – and rightfully so. Some of them are rubbish. Rather than there being three or four backstage workers doing a certain job, there will be one – but there will still be loads of presenters." ITV has always said it has to slash costs. Some onscreen journalists are also facing the axe in a bid to balance the books, but it is thought none of the mainstay hosts are affected. One presenter told Mail Online: "It's awful to see, awful. These people work so hard and they've still lost their jobs. And where are they going to go?... The industry is getting smaller and smaller for production staff." Loose Women and Lorraine have also been decimated by the cuts, with presenters on the former facing the prospect of only being aired for 30 weeks a year. Lorraine, too, is going from 52 weeks a year to 30, as well as being cut back from an hour to just half an hour in transmission time.

Three more Strictly Come Dancing contestants announced on The One Show
The trio were announced as the latest recruits for the upcoming season live on BBC One's The One Show on Monday. Speaking from the studio after her reveal, former Love Island winner Dyer said: 'It's such a fun magical show – to be asked to do it is such an honour. 'I just can't wait to be able to wear (the costumes) – it's going to be so much fun.' Actress Kingston, who interrupted her holiday in Italy to speak to hosts Alex Scott and Roman Kemp, joked: 'I was super excited but now I'm terrified.' She was best known for her role as Dr Elizabeth Corday in US medical drama ER. Before that she won over British fans for her performance in ITV miniseries The Fortunes And Misfortunes Of Moll Flanders, which earned her a Bafta nomination for best actress. Former Chelsea footballer Hasselbaink said: 'I'm a father of only girls and Strictly is a part of our home life – I like the show. 'Let's have a go.' He added: 'It's totally out of my comfort zone. 'Playing football in front of 60,000 or 70,000 people is easy but dancing with a partner who knows it 10 times, 100 times, better than you is crazy.' Hasselbaink also teased the idea that he might be bringing a few of his former footballing friends along to watch live. 'I'm in contact with Robbie (Fowler), with Carlo Cudicini, so who knows,' he said. They join Olympic sprinter and Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, who was the first contestant confirmed for the 2025 line-up earlier in the day. Aikines-Aryeetey, known as Nitro on the rebooted Gladiators, previously competed in last year's Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special and described his decision to return as 'so nice I just had to do it twice'. In July, the BBC announced that two 'incredible' new professional dancers, US-born Alexis Warr and Australian dancer Julian Caillon, would be joining the show, which starts this autumn. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are back to present with Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas returning as judges. Strictly will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer for its new series this September.

Cristiano Ronaldo engaged to long-term partner Georgina Rodriguez
Rodriguez, 31, shared the news on Instagram on Monday with a photograph showing a large diamond ring on her finger, resting on the hand of the Portugal football star, 40. She captioned the image: 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.' The couple have two daughters together – Alana, seven, and Bella, three – while Bella's twin brother Angel died during birth. Rodriguez has also helped raise Ronaldo's other three children – Cristiano Jr, 15, and twins Mateo and Eva Maria, both eight. The pair met in 2016 when Rodriguez was working at a Gucci store in Madrid. Speaking about their first meeting, she previously said: 'I was finally able to leave the shop to go home three hours later than I should have, and as I was getting ready to leave Cristiano came in with his eldest son and some friends. 'Let's just say it was butterflies in my stomach.' The family are now based in Riyadh, where Ronaldo plays for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr. Rodriguez had posted her engagement update from the Saudi capital.
