Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan share latest plush addition to '£3.5m' mansion

Mark Wright has given fans a glimpse at the latest addition to his Essex mansion - a bar at their home pub.

TOWIE star Mark, 35, and his wife, former Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan, 34, purchased the original mock Tudor property for £1.3million in 2019 and tore it down to build a new home, which is thought to cost the couple £3.5 million to complete.

The TV couple have shared the gradual transformation of their huge Essex property with fans on their "Wrighty home" Instagram.

Mark gave fans a peak as their in-house pub, complete with beer taps, comes together.

The fitness guru filmed five builders carrying a massive slab of granite which would be used as the bar.

"Here come the boys," Mark said as he filmed the group carrying the granite counter.

"This thing weighs an absolute tonne."

He added, giving fans an insight into the project: "This is for the bar on top of there, to be revealed."

The five-bedroom home is set to have a bar, gym, granny annexe and outdoor pool.

In February, the couple shared that development is underway on their swimming pool.

Diggers had begun to scoop the soil away to create a large rectangle hole where the pool will be.

Last month the pair also secured permission for two-metre high gates at the property.

Stanford Parish Council has told the couple that they can install the gates but added that they have concerns about the style of the gate and hope that Mark and Michelle will consider changing it.

MailOnline report that the letter from Epping Forest District Council states that they have "no injection" to the application that they have "concerns about the style of the gate" and urge the pair to choose an "alternative style of gate more fitting to the surrounding rural environment."

A huge, glass-walled sauna is also in the works, Mark revealed.

Recently the celebrity couple shared plans for their enormous garden.

They said: "Our garden means the world to us and we love the outdoors. We searched high and low to find the best landscape designers, after realising that there was only one company for us.

"It's funny how you can have a dream, tell the professionals and they make your dream bigger than you ever imagined."

The pair said they had been "absolutely blown away" by the designs and "cannot wait to see it come to life."

It is a busy time for the couple, as Mark recently became an uncle for the first time after his younger brother Josh welcomed a baby boy with his wife Hollie.

Mark opened up about the experience during his radio show on Heart FM, with him referring to his newborn nephew as "absolutely beautiful", and described becoming an uncle as "just overwhelming, quite surprising, shocking but in such a beautiful way."

He's set to welcome a niece or a second nephew later this year as his sister Jessica Wright, 36, is pregnant.
