‘They spent hundreds of thousands making it their dream home…’: I’m A Celeb’s Ant McPartlin puts his £6m London mansion up for sale after explosive neighbour row over trees — as insiders say he and wife Anne-Marie are ready for a fresh start after the fallout… - suong
ANT McPartlin has reportedly put his £6m London home up for sale – following a row with neighbours over trees.
The I’m A Celebrity co-host, 49, moved to the seven-bedroom
Previously, Ant lived with former wife Lisa Armstrong in Chiswick, next door to Declan Donnelly.
Last February, The Sun revealed Ant had scrapped plans to chop down six trees at the end of his garden – to make way for a new studio.
They were given the go-ahead to axe four cypress trees, a Weymouth pine and a yew despite them being protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).
According to Daily Mail, Ant and Anne-Marie have decided to move on to a new home.
A source told the publication: “They sank hundreds of thousands of pounds into their dream home but have now decided to go somewhere else.
“It’s surprising after all that they spent on the place but Ant’s got plenty of money to sink into their next home and make it just how they want.”
The couple faced backlash from
One neighbour penned in an objection letter: “No justification is given for felling these substantial trees, other than the applicant’s wish to allow re-landscaping of part of their garden.
“There is no suggestion that any of the trees are dangerous or diseased.
“The personal whim of the applicant should not override the benefit to the community and the environment in retaining these trees.”
Following this, Ant and Anne Marie – who welcomed their first child last year – submitted revised plans to extend existing garden rooms being used as a gym, games room, study and studio – but keeping all six trees.
Their planning agent said in a design statement: “Approval has been granted by the council for the removal of all the trees at the end of the garden bar one large yew along the northern boundary.
“The applicant wishes to keep all the trees in place and build around the trees with a ‘floating’ lightweight structure on the higher ground at the end of the garden.
“The garden buildings will be ancillary to the main house and used for occasional leisure activities.
“The combined new garden buildings will be heavily screened from view and will have limited visual presence and therefore will not have an adverse impact on the host property and adjoining properties.”
In his report, a tree expert said: “It is my opinion that the method of construction proposed by the tree owners is the least impactive possible.
“It clearly demonstrates the property owners are going over and above to minimise ground disturbance.”
Ant and Anne-Marie moved into the SW London abode a year after getting together.
The couple splashed out on big refurbishments – including a swimming pool boasting Victorian style
Meanwhile, the property also includes features such as five reception rooms, a cinema, walk-in wardrobe and a sizeable open plan kitchen.
‘It sucks… you can’t celebrate anything’: Brock Bowers doesn’t hold back after Raiders’ heartbreaking overtime loss to the Jaguars — despite his three-touchdown comeback, the star tight end admits the team is still searching for its identity… - suong
The Las Vegas Raiders saw the return of Brock Bowers, who looked like his old self in the 30-29 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on November 2 at Allegiant Stadium.
Bowers hasn’t looked healthy since the Raiders’ Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. Despite playing through a knee injury, Las Vegas finally shut him down to fully heal from the setback to start the season.
Moreover, that decision was right considering how Bowers played against the Jaguars. The Georgia product recorded 12 receptions for 127 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Although Bowers’s individual performance was fantastic, he didn’t hold back on how it felt to return to the field in a Raiders loss.
“It’s not a great feeling,” Bowers said postgame (h/t Vegas Sports Today). “You want to come back in here and celebrate with the guys. It sucks. You can’t celebrate anything… I think we’re definitely still working on finding that identity, especially now that we’re getting everyone back to full strength. So I’m just excited to see what the rest of the year holds.”
Raiders QB Geno Smith Talks Brock Bowers Return
With Bowers back for Las Vegas, quarterback Geno Smith had a security blanket to go to in the middle of the field. Moreover, it seemed
“He’s one of the best players on our team, one of the best players in the NFL,” Geno Smith said postgame (h/t
“A lot of those catches a lot of guys don’t make. You can just see his impact on the game when he’s out there. He’s such a dynamic player. At one point, they were double-teaming him, triple-teaming him trying to stop him and that just opens the field for the rest of the guys.”
Now the Raiders have little time to regroup before their Week 10 road game against the Denver Broncos, with just three days to recover. At 2-6, their playoff hopes are gone, leaving them focused on finishing the season strong and playing spoiler down the stretch.
Raiders Have Positive Takeaways Despite Loss to Jaguars
Despite the overtime loss, Raiders head coach Pete Carroll pointed to several positives from the team’s performance as they look to build off the performance. Las Vegas will look to have a better showing on the road this time around after losing 31-0 to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7.
“This was a really positive game in so many ways,” said Pete Carroll (h/t Raiders Wire). “Unfortunately, we couldn’t get off the field in the second half. Our numbers in the first half, we did gr
“And a missed extra point. So, there’s a lot of positives. We played well, we did a lot of good things today. Our resolve about hanging tough and keep coming back and keep working to finish.”
