Kate Ferdinand gives fans rare look inside massive Dubai mansion after quitting UK with husband Rio and their two kids liennhi
KATE Ferdinand has given fans a rare look inside her massive Dubai mansion, after quitting the UK with husband Rio and their two kids.
The 34-year-old revealed earlier this year that she and Rio had officially moved to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from Bromley, South East London.
At the time of the summer move, the star captioned an Instagram post: "A new chapter, a fresh start — because if we don’t try, we’ll never know.
"Ahhh! We’ve talked about this for so long, and now it’s finally real… we’re here, we are making a new home in the place we met!"
She’s since shared a series of photos of their new life in the sunny Gulf state, and their mansion really is something to marvel at.
Kate posted a photo dump captioned “recently,” where she shared a string of interior shots.
The home boasts a huge bedroom with a fluffy beige rug and large bed, with brown wardrobes running alongside one of the walls.
Marble staircases can also be spotted inside the stylish abode, with the entrance hall looking very bright and airy.
A large black and white family photo can be spotted in the backdrop of one of Kate’s snaps in the home.
Kate flashed another look at the stunning marble entrance as she clutched a huge bouquet of red roses.
In the lounge, the family have opted for a huge wraparound white sofa with patterned scatter cushions and a white table with a bouquet of roses in the middle.
The famous family also appear to have an outdoor swimming pool at their residence, which Kate shared a peek at.
Fans and friends were quick to flock to the comments section to congratulate the family on their move when it was announced in summer.
Rochelle Humes penned: "So excited for you girly. See you in October."
Billie Faiers added: "Wishing you all the luck and happiness."
Another person then said: "You won’t look back mate…"
The married couple are parents to son Cree, four, and daughter Shae, two.
Rio also has three children from a previous marriage, Lorenz, Tate, 16, and Tia, 13.
The move to Dubai is full circle for the footballer and former TOWIE star, who met there in 2016 after being introduced out there by mutual friends.
Rio proposed to Kate in Abu Dhabi two years later and the couple tied the knot one year on.
A source said of the couple: “It holds a special place in their hearts as that’s where they met and both could easily travel back and forth for their work commitments in the UK.
“As well as his sporting success Rio has a huge business portfolio now and there is lots of potential in the Middle East.”

VICKY Pattison was left on the brink of tears after a harsh critique over her 'heavy' routine from the Strictly judges.
Former Geordie Shore star Vicky, 37, is partnered with pro Kai Widdrington on the much loved dance show.
Vicky and Kai took to the dance floor with their version of a Cha-Cha from the party scene of the movie The Great Gatsby.
But, before the dance started Vicky said she would be dancing a lot by herself and "there was nowhere to hide."
She added: "This dance is fun and I just really hope I can turn all of the nervous
The pair's lively routine was accompanied by cheers throughout their performance and the couple appeared very happy at the end of their dance.

However, things changed for the worse when they stood in front of the judges.
Craig Revel Horwood said: "I felt that you could be a little more extreme in every move...There was no double bounce which made it look a bit flat footed"
Oti Mabuse added: "Don't be disappointed, remember where you were three weeks ago.
Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo agreed but said: "I want more from you."
Shirley Ballas added: "There were no swivels and I'm not quite sure why it looked on the heavy side."
But Anton Du Beke said he enjoyed the performance and that she had such potential.
Vicky appeared near to tears as she listened to their comments and viewers noticed her brave face and took to social media.
One fan wrote: "Oh Vicky is breaking my heart."
Another added: “Oh don’t be so nervous!” after ripping the dance to shreds, some interesting judging choices tonight."
A third wrote: "First of all, reminding Vicky all the time that she’s a nervous person is just going to make her more nervous.
