Inside Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright's £3.5m mansion after pregnancy announcement
Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright thrilled fans as they announced they are expecting their first child together. The happy couple have been married since 2015 and will welcome their first bundle of joy together next year.
Michelle and Mark bought an original mock Tudor mansion for £1.3 million back in October 2019 and tore it down to build a new home, which is reported to have cost them £3.5m to complete. They then documented their home renovation on the Instagram account 'Wrightyhome', before finally moving in last year.
The couple often share photos and videos of the stunning home on Instagram. Recent posts show a stunning bathroom with marble tiles, his and hers sinks, a free standing bath and their own sauna.

Another post showed the amazing view from the mansion at sunrise, surrounded by acres of sprawling countryside. The post was captioned: "Feel extremely blessed waking up to this every morning and today was extra special. Love a sunrise but also a sunset. You have to choose, sunset or sunrise?"
Friends and family were invited to the couple's epic housewarming party dubbed "Marchella" back in August 2023. Mark's best pal and fellow TOWIE star James "Arg" Argent performed with his band, while guests also enjoyed an array of food and cocktails.
The sprawling home features an outdoor swimming pool, and marble decking with steps that lead down to a beautiful landscaped garden. Back in 2022 the couple said: "Our garden means the world to us and we love the outdoors.
"We searched high and low to find the best landscape designers, after realising that there was only one company for us. It's funny how you can have a dream, tell the professionals and they make your dream bigger than you ever imagined."
Inside the home has its own a sauna, walk-in wardrobe, and even a bar. The kitchen has a "cappuccino style" marble worktop, while a video shared on Instagram shows a sleek dining room with a long dark table, contrasting cream chairs, and black internal doors.
There is also an impressive gym, where Mark films many workout videos for social media. Former Coronation Street star Michelle has previously opened up on the beginnings of her relationship with TOWIE star Mark.
The 37-year-old told our sister site, Mirror Online, how Mark needed to overcome one important hurdle for their romance to ignite. She said: "I am a massive dog lover. My sausage dog has been with me since I was 21. Until you get your own dog you don’t realise how much love you have for your pets. Mark is a dog person, massively.
"He had to be to even go on a date with me. The most important things in my life are my dogs.” The two have since adopted a dog together with pet Chihuahua named Phoebe.
Announcing their new pet, Mark posed for an adorable photo as he held the Chihuahua inside the front pocket of his hoodie and said: "… I wanted a Doberman". Michelle quickly replied: "She actually believes she is one though..."
Michelle spoke about the secrets to the success of their romance in the limelight during an interview with the Happy Place podcast. She told host Fearne Cotton that the years have "gone so fast" and said their relationship has such a strong foundation because they are also "best friends".
Michelle added: "I think we're really lucky where if I go up north, he comes with me if he can, and same with down south. So we're based down south but if we travel, we go with each other and I think that really works for us".
