JLS star JB Gill was taken to hospital after four people broke into his family home during a night-time raid.

The 33-year-old singer was sprayed in the face with an unknown substance after he confronted the attackers who targeted his valuables, reports The Sun.

Gill was taken to hospital following the incident, which happened around 3am, but the former X Factor contestant was not seriously injured.

He lives with his wife, Chloe, 32 and their two young children on their family farm on the outskirts of London. A source told The Sun the family were “extremely shaken” but escaped injury.

The Metropolitan Police are now investigating.

A representative for Gill said: “JB and his wife had hoped to keep details of the incident private in order to safeguard their young family.

“They are all well and safe having increased home security.”

JLS found fame in 2008 when they were contestants on The X Factor.

The boy band – Gill, Aston Merrygold, Oritse Williams and Marvin Humes – were runners-up on the show but went on to release four albums before splitting in 2013.

Yeah, it could have been anything really (most likely an aerosol of some kind supposed to disorient them) but I think anyone's first thought would be that they'd been sprayed with pepper spray, or even acid, which can have such horrific results.

It says he wasn't seriously injured and bleach in the eyes will **** you up, so I doubt it would be bleach.

on the outskirts of London.
Gill grows vegetables and breeds livestock,
including pigs and turkeys.
Speaking once about his farm,
he said: 'The pop star lifestyle is full-on. You don't get
much time off so I wanted somewhere peaceful
I could escape to.
Here became the perfect place
to relax and recharge.

'It's the ideal place for them [his family] to enjoy
the British countryside.'
Neighbours claim there have been
a spate of burglaries and car thefts in the area.]

[Gill and his family were 'extremely shaken' but
escaped serious injury.
Yesterday, a source told the paper:
'This was a terrifying incident. JB was sprayed
in the face and the gang threatened
Chloe with a knife.
He wanted to protect her and their kids but
the best way to do that was
to *cooperate with the gang.'
A spokesman for Gill told MailOnline:
'JB and his wife had hoped to keep details of the
incident private in order to safeguard their young family.

'They are all well and safe having increased home security.']
