Jason Manford slams ‘burglars who haven’t been furloughed’ after break-in

Jason Manford has hit out at burglars following a break in at a storage unit outside his home.

The comic spoke out about the incident in a post shared to Facebook, where he branded those involved 'absolutely awful' and warned other people to stay 'vigilant.'

In the post, Jason, 39, penned: "Well it seems burglars haven't been f****** furloughed.

"Some absolutely awful people out there. Stay Vigilant folks," followed by a broken heart emoji.

In a statement given to the Manchester Evening News, Neil Reading, Mr Manford’s publicist, confirmed that there had been a break-in outside the star's home.

He said: "A storage unit outside Jason’s property was broken into during the night and a number of items were stolen."

According to the paper, a church ran by Jason's uncle was targeted by thieves in May.

The burglars raided Cadishead Community Church taking everything from expensive music equipment and guitars to their store of toilet roll.

They even made off with a Bible and sweets meant for children's groups at the church.

Earlier this year Jason took a job as an Iceland delivery driver after he found himself out of work in lockdown.

Dad-of-four Jason said he had initially applied to Tesco but his offer of employment was turned down by the supermarket chain.

"I was only trying to do my bit I hope the better person got and enjoys the job, I'll be watching," he joked at the time.

After the knock back, Jason was then offered some shifts with Iceland, which he was only too happy to accept.

The comedian said he 'wanted to feel useful' during the first lockdown.
