Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan give fans update on swimming pool at £3.5m mansion as they put on finishing touches
MARK Wright and Michelle Keegan have given fans an update on their huge swimming pool at their £3.5m mansion as the project nears completion.
The main house itself may have been finished some time ago, but the grounds are still a hive of activity as workmen try and deliver the couple's dream vision.
The large outdoor pool is firmly set in place amid pristine white tiles that give off a Mediterranean holiday vibe, even on an overcast day in Essex.
Around the pool area dump trucks have been unloading ton upon ton of soil so that the garden can be levelled off and turfed.
Mark filmed the last remaining loads being deposited and then wrote on Instagram: "Ready for growth!! Finally we will have our garden back to green."
No expense has been spared on the forever home, which has luxury furnishings throughout.
