Kate and Rio Ferdinand have reportedly spent a small fortune on two new guard dogs.
The former TOWIE star, 29, and footballer turned sports pundit, 41, are allegedly concerned over potential home invasions.
This comes after a string of high profile footballers have been burgled.
The couple are also expecting their first baby together this year.
According to The Sun, Kate enlisted Chaperone K9 to find her and Rio two highly trained dogs.

This news comes after Kate took a break from social media.
But she reassured her fans on her Instagram stories that she simply needed some time off.
She shared: “Hey guys, had so many messages about me working out so thought I would give you a little update…
“I know I’ve been a bit slack on here recently, I’ve been enjoying phone free time. I know I say this all the time, but it is quite mental for me.
“I’ve found especially whilst being pregnant the gym helps me to feel like ‘me’ as much as I can.
“Being pregnant for the first time there is a lot of unknowns so it’s nice to have some form of consistency where possible.”
