My Kitchen Rules stars Carly Saunders and Tresne Middleton have been dealt a fresh blow after the tragic death of their 20-month-old daughter Poppy Grace last week.

The couple revealed their car was broken into during an attempted home invasion, which was caught on camera via their property’s security system.

The incident took place in the early hours of Friday morning, not long after Poppy was buried at the nearby Pettigrew funeral home on Thursday afternoon.

Carly and Tresne posted CCTV footage of the attempted robbery on Instagram on Sunday night, and said the incident made them ‘feel really unsafe’ in their own home at a time when they were already grieving the loss of their child.

The alleged thief broke into their yard and took money from their car, but failed to get inside their home, the pair said.

‘Hello, darlings. We’ve only just dragged ourselves from bed and we really want to thank you all for your incredible kindness after Poppy’s special send-off on Thursday. We love you all so so much,’ their post began.

‘Unfortunately on the night/morning after at 3:30am our car was broken into and a young man attempted to come into our house.

‘He only took money from our car but we are feeling sick that this person entered our space.

‘After sleeping for months in hospital with plenty of nurses/family around, we just feel really unsafe.’

Carly and Tresne have filed a police report, but shared the footage publicly to help identify the alleged thief.

‘We’ve filed this report with the police, but if you could share this post so we might be able to find this young man we would be so grateful. Big love and thanks to you all,’ they concluded.

The couple’s followers were shocked by the footage. 

‘This is awful. You both have already been through absolute agony and I cannot believe this person has the decency to even do this. I am sorry. It’s a yucky feeling having your space intruded. Sharing this now,’ one fan wrote. 

‘You don’t deserve this! I hope he is caught and pays the price,’ another added. 

‘This is disgusting! What low-lives. I’m lost for words. You don’t need this on top of everything. I hope by everyone sharing, these people are found and dealt with. Been thinking of you both all week,’ a third said.

Carly and Tresne announced their baby daughter’s death last week.

The couple, who had been documenting their journey raising a sick child, told their Instagram followers Poppy had lost her battle with leukemia.

The posted a photo of their child on their joint account, and wrote: ‘This morning we lost our precious baby Poppy Grace.

‘True to form she fought tooth and nail until her final breath. Her leukaemia took over and at her last bloods the blasts were 787,000. That fighting spirit was so prominent right throughout her battle and it was so evident in the last four traumatic days.

‘Poppy showed us what it is to be grateful and happy with whatever cards you are dealt.

‘She made the most of her time on Earth, dancing, giggling and smiling right until days from the end. She was loving and funny and nurturing. She was clever and empathetic.

‘She had a heart of gold and she shone so brightly, oozing joy. We felt honoured to be her mums and we didn’t take a second of that for granted, not a second.

‘She taught us so very much in her short 20 months and we have never experienced a love as all encompassing.’

The mothers said they were ‘so sorry’ to share the news with their followers, some of whom had donated blood, money and gifts to their daughter, and others who were living with leukaemia.

Carly and Tresne set up a Lifeblood donation group in Poppy’s name, where their followers can come together to donate blood and hopefully help sick adults and children like Poppy. 

‘We will rise up again for Poppy. We don’t know what that looks like yet – we are lost and our purpose is gone.

‘But we’ll be back soon and we will live life to the fullest in her honour. There is good to be done from the experiences we have had, there is lots to share and many ways we can make the lives of oncology kids and their parents better.

‘Until then we will rest so we can rise up for our Poppy, forever 20 months old.’

Donation bookings can be made on the Lifeblood website or by phoning 13 14 95.
