Many huge names in showbiz and television have hectic lives full of early call-times, constant travel, and late nights.
To offset the stress of the limelight, some celebrities have chosen to make the countryside their home and retire to the tranquillity of a farm.
Away from the red carpet, these celebrities live a very different life which most people may not know about.

The family have recently announced the birth of twin baby boys.
After playing farmer Andy Sugden on the soap for twenty years, Kelvin decided to make the move to try it for real, despite having zero farm experience.
The family have been showing fans how they have adapted to the farm life in the BBC One show Kelvin’s Big Farming Adventure.
Calvin Harris

He bought Terra Masia, in Ibiza, and now helps look after livestock and grow organic vegetables.
Calvin has snapped pictures of the produce his farm has grown, such as carrots and oranges.
The land also producers wine and eggs, and is said to be the island’s largest organic farm.
Terra Masia is also a venue for weddings and special events.

They bought the Beaminster farm in 2017 and look after horses, dogs, sheep, hens, Shetland ponies and 50 Dexter cattle.
In an interview with Saga, Martin said: "I love the space and the way everything is changing all the time with the seasons. It keeps me in touch with real life.”
He added that it is “a wonderful way of switching off from the world”.

Bella and Gigi Hadid’ s mum, Yolanda, owns a $4 million ranch in New Hope in Pennsylvania.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s model daughters isolated at the 32-acre farm during the coronavirus lockdown, alongside former boyband star Zayn Malik.

Celebrity chef Martha Stewart owns her own 156-acre farm in Katonah, New York.
She bought the farm in 2000 for $15.2 million and named it Cantitoe Corners; it was previously called Sycamore Farms.
She has been slowly restoring and rebuilding the estate, adding new properties and refurbishing existing properties on the land.
The Martha Moments blog explains the land is more like a “small village, with a series of houses and out-buildings dotting the expansive grounds”.
It is every chef’s dream, as Martha can use her own vegetables, eggs, fruit and milk in her recipes.
Jason Gardiner
Former Dancing on Ice judge has quit his life of farm to relocate from London to a eco-friendly farm in Portugal.
Jason, 46, was once called ‘Mr Nasty’ on the ITV dance competition and quit his role in 2019.
During lockdown, a neighbour let him use an allotment, which allowed him to find a new love for nature.
He now describes himself as a “Nomadic Permaculture Designer” who travels around encouraging people to be more sustainable.
In one Instagram post, Jason wrote: “Getting back to basics where you don't have to rely on an extortionate supply chain for your energy is something we all need to seriously consider.”

Actress Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban own a $4.5 million working farm in Bunya Hill, Australia, which they bought in 2008.
The 111 acre land has an orchard filled with fresh fruit and is home to a herd of Black Angus cows, six alpacas and chickens.
In 2015, Nicole told Vogue magazine that she loves "the simplicity, the air, the peace" of her farm life Down Under.
Although this is not the only property the A list couple own, it is said that they spend half of the year on the farm.
