Mark Wright reveals NEW rule for guests in his and Michelle Keegan’s dream £1.3m home | The Sun
IT might be a mansion fit for a king and queen – but guests at Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan's £1.3m dream home won't be faced with stuffy rules.
The stunning Essex pile is close to completion, with its owners waiting for the final touches to be made before moving in to what is likely to be their forever home.
Mark previously revealed visitors will need to remove their shoes before stepping foot on its luscious white carpets.
But other than that they're free to treat the home as their own.
In an exclusive interview with the Sun, he said: "My only rule with people is when you come to my house I want you to feel like it's your own. Don't ask, just go to the cupboard, grab what you want and feel at home."
Contractors have been working on the site since 2020. The previous plot cost the couple £1.3million, before they had it demolished and replaced with a sprawling new house that is estimated to have added £2million to the site's value.

Its fixtures and fittings might be of the highest spec, but Mark's ensured it's a safe space for kids and is relishing having his young nephews over.
He said: "My nephews will love being at my house. I've made sure it's safe for my nephews to come round. They're gonna love it. They're going to be in the pool with me."
The home, which Mark has been documenting on an Instagram account dedicated to the project, is in a liveable condition complete with a state of the art gym.
But there are still a few things that need sorting before the couple can enjoy it properly.

Mark said: "When it is done I will definitely be in a better place because it's getting to that point now when… it's been stressful.
"When you're building your home for yourself and want it to be a dream, you don't want to make any mistakes. You probably won't do this again. So it's been a bit stressful, but I've also loved the whole journey, but when it's done it will definitely give me more time, that's for sure."
The Heart DJ 's attention is currently on the upcoming London Marathon, a year after he was forced to withdraw from the event with a calf tear.
He's once again teamed up with Flora's Get Towns Active campaign to encourage the public to exercise, no matter what standard of fitness they are.
Now his injury woes are behind him, Mark feels he's in a much better place this time round, having got weeks more training under his belt.
He said: "The calf that I tore, I haven't felt it this time. I'm doing the recovery after every session to prevent any injury so I'm feeling a lot better.
"I think I'm gonna get a better time than I would have last year. I wanna get a sub four (hours), but the way I'm running up to 15 miles it's like I'm gonna get a 3hrs 45mins. So if I can keep working hard I'd love to get it down to 3hrs 30mins. My brother did the marathon once, and I'm not saying I'm in competition with him, but I'd love to beat him."
Mark's being mentored by none other than marathon great Paula Radcliffe, who has also partnered with Flora, ahead of race day on October 2 and is adamant he couldn't be in better hands.
He said: "I stick to Paula's advice because the champion she's been there's no way I'm going to listen to anyone else."
The former Towie star recently returned from a six week holiday in Australia where wife Michelle has been filming her latest TV show, Ten Pound Poms.
His training didn't take a back seat though, and he relished the change in scenery as he hit the roads.

"It was amazing to train over there. The tracks they've got are incredible. It was a brilliant time for me to be over there while training for the marathon."
And Mark confirmed Michelle will definitely be back in the UK to cheer him on come October 2.
