Olivia and Alex moved into the pad last year, and they have now completed renovations with a marble kitchen, huge staircase and four-tier chandelier.

Alex previously admitted he and Olivia are moving slowly closer to starting a family of their own.

Opening up to The Sun, he said: "I think maybe babies are next on the card before we do get a bigger dog.

"Obviously we’ve both still got a lot of things going on in our career - I just feel like you can’t really plan it, because there’s always something else going to come up. So when it happens, it happens."
