Inside Take That star Mark Owen’s posh country home with huge wet room, modern art and fairy lights
The singer and wife Emma have built a rural paradise in Hampshire
MARK Owen has ploughed his Take That millions into a jaw-dropping country mansion with a monster wet room, modern art - and plenty of fairy lights.
The 47-year-old singer quit London and moved to Hampshire with actress wife Emma Ferguson and their three children after he admitted cheating on her.

But since patching things up - back for good, you might say - the pair have built their rural paradise in the mega-money Georgian pad.
The home has six reception rooms, a tennis court, swimming pool, stables and paddocks - and Mark has occasionally given fans a peek inside.
In videos posted on Instagram, he has shown followers his playroom complete with framed pictures of his children's art and footprints.
Festooned with fairy lights, it is also home to an aquarium containing one very large goldfish.

Another video sees him packing for a trip in his huge dressing room, removing clothes from large closets covered in illuminated mirrored panels.
Mark also has a library where he has shared videos of him meditating in front of rows of books on top of a cushion reading: "Boys only in this area."
Given that he has one son - Elwood, 13 - as well as daughters Willow, 11, and Fox, seven, that shuts out most of the family.
Another video shows Mark, who is worth an estimated £31 million, hula-hooping on the table in the room, where a big piece of modern art hangs above a large flatscreen TV.

The singer also has a habit of singing in his enormous white-tiled wet room.
He shared a video of him dancing around in front of the bottles of Aussie shampoo and conditioner used to tame the Owen mane.
Mark is also partial to a spot of home exercise, being filmed doing push-ups downstairs in the mansion.
A clip shows him doing press-ups - the super-hard ones where you clap between reps - at the base of the stairs near one of the home's doorways.

The Sun revealed in 2017 how Mark planned to mentor music stars by opening a recording studio in the grounds of the country pile.
