Mark told The Mirror: ‘I reckon we’re a few weeks away, hopefully. It’s been a stressful but fun time. I’m excited to move in and live in the comforts we’ve worked so hard to get.’ 

‘Our Chihuahua, Pip, thinks she rules the roost in the current house. It does make us laugh, but the minute we move in to the new place she will feel like it’s hers, like the queen of the palace.

‘They are literally our children. We go on holiday and we don’t miss England or home. Michelle and I miss them.’

Finally! The couple won planning approval for the colossal building project back in January 2020 and over two years on the construction of their dream home is almost complete

Mark and Michelle, who are estimated to have a net worth of £12million, have been documenting the construction process after purchasing the original property for £1.3million in October 2019.

The couple won planning approval for the colossal building project back in January 2020 – and it’s now over two years on. 

Despite months of delays due to the Covid pandemic, their five-bedroom mansion is almost ready to live in.

Due to various lockdowns and restrictions, construction has been stop-start after they demolished a farmhouse and began building a five-bedroom mansion complete with bar, gym, granny annexe and outdoor swimming pool.

It now boasts a stunning landscaped garden with new trees planted behind an outdoor pool as well as a golf course and football pitch.

It was recently reported that Michelle is planning to take some time off from acting to focus on family. 

A source told The Sun: ‘Michelle barely had any time off after Our Girl before she started Brassic, but is expected to take a little step back before she announces her next big project. She just hasn’t decided how long for yet.’

They added: ‘It will be a great chance for them to enjoy the new home together.

‘Both Mark’s brother Josh and sister Jess are expecting their first children, so it’s the perfect time to concentrate on family for a bit.’
