BROADCASTER Nick Grimshaw and his 81-year-old mother Eileen were sedated with gassed and robbed while on holiday at an Ibiza villa.
The former BBC Radio 1 breakfast presenter rented a villa on the Balearic island this month to celebrate his 40th birthday with his family and fiance, Mesh Henry.
The Sun newspaper reported that the raid was carried out by a gang with previous form for similar crimes and waited for everyone to go to bed before striking.

They pumped in sedative gas into the home and then broke in wearing hazmat suits.
Nobody was physically hurt in the attack and the group is back home in the UK.
There has been no news of any arrests or what area of Ibiza the villa was located in.
A source told The Sun: “There have been a spate of attacks in luxury villas across Ibiza this summer.”
“Sadly Nick’s villa was on the target list – simply due it being known for being used by high net worth clients.”
“The gang would have had no idea who he was and it’s a case of the wrong place at the wrong time but it’s scary to say the least.
The source continued: “Nick was obviously upset but thought best to keep things off social media as it was meant to be a private low key break with his family.”
