‘This House Is Mark And Michelle's Baby'

They’re one of the hardest-working couples in showbusiness, racking up a number of TV appearances, radio work and fitness projects between them. But now Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright have a new passion project that will bring them back together amid their busy schedules.

The couple, who tied the knot in May 2015, recently sold their Essex home and began work on a £1.3 million “dream” mansion. And a source close to the couple told new that they’re so happy to be starting PH OT a new chapter together. “This house really is Mark and Michelle’s passion project. It’s going to keep them busy, as it’s like their baby. They’ve brought in parts of what they both love to make it their perfect home.” The couple purchased a farmhouse in the Essex countryside in 2019 that has now been demolished to make way for a newly built home. They’ve shared their plans for the huge country pile on their newly created Instagram page, touting it as a “modern” and “white” version of a classic Georgian house. The mansion will come complete with a bar, a gym and an outdoor swimming pool.
