She began: “Last night something very scary happened. Basically there was an attempted robbery at my house.
“The most scary thing about this is that it’s not the first time it has happened because almost two years ago, my car was stolen off of my drive and potentially the same people have come again.
“So I was basically doing my hair last night, it was about 2am, I was just untangling my hair, sitting at the window.
“The light is bright inside, it’s obviously dark outside but I have a big tree and I have a big gate outside of my house but my gate was open because I don’t always close the gate.
“And then I saw an electric bike go down my road, my road is a very residential road so there’s no real reason for an electric bike at 2am to be coming down my road.
“ and food orders do not work at this time.”
The social media star recalled: “All of a sudden, I saw the two guys all dressed in black, all in black balaclavas and they walked towards my gate.
“And my reaction was to open the window and I went, ‘leave from here right now’, and it’s pitch black outside, I’m shouting because I’m not gonna give you the opportunity to come into my drive.”
Patricia revealed the masked men shot back profanities at her before carrying on walking onto her drive.
“The scary thing was that they must have seen me but they still carried on anyway.”
Thankfully the robbers didn’t proceed to try and enter her home and the robbery was thwarted.
However, Patricia admitted that the terrifying incident has woken her up to close her gate and not keep any high-value possessions inside of her home.

She concluded her video by warning her fans: “I don’t know what times we’re in but it’s time to stay safe. Scary times.”
Her followers rushed to the comments section to share their worries for the influencer.
One person wrote: “Omg Patricia. You just made my heart drop. Please be safe!”
Another TikTok user commented: “Thank God you were awake and alert! We pray a hedge of protection over your house.”
Somebody else urged: “Glad you’re safe. Please up your security in any way you can.”
Yet another penned: “This is so invasive! I’m so sorry this happened.”
While a fifth added: “This is awful! I hope you’re okay and feeling safe again darling. Sending you and the family warm hugs.”
Patricia began her career in the corporate world as a business analyst and financial consultant before uploading beauty, hair and style videos on her channel ‘PattyOlovesU’.
She quit her banking job at 26 to pursue content creation full-time.
Her tenacity paid off as she became one of the first black British women to secure major global beauty campaigns with legacy brands including L’Oreal, Dior and Mac Cosmetics.
She has amassed 2.9million subscribers on YouTube, as well as a million followers on and 358,000 on TikTok.
The entrepreneur is mum to two daughters from her marriage to ex-husband Mike Pennells.
Patricia confirmed their divorce earlier this year after plenty of internet speculation, insisting that they simply grew apart.
The pair’s separation was amicable, with Mike still remaining fully involved in family events as they co-parent their children together.
