Mark Wright shares strict home rule while Michelle Keegan is out of the country

Mark Wright has shared the strict rule he's going to have in place when he and Michelle Keegan move into their mega new home. The couple have spent two years overseeing the building of their soon-to-be home in Essex.

The former The Only Way is Essex star and his actress wife have been keeping fans updated on the property's progress on the couple's own home Instagram account, @wrightyhome.

While the bulk of the work is done, with Mark showing off the front of the property and the driveway last month, the final touches are currently being added before Mark and Michelle can move into their dream £1.3m pad. On Friday night he filmed tradesman laying the brand new carpet.

He said: "This is when it feels like a proper home," before revealing there will be rules in place when anyone does eventually come to visit when the property is complete."

Once the underlay was down and the carpet was rolled out, Mark could be heard saying: "The colour is revealed... and this is why if you come to this house you will never be wearing shoes, or socks, you'll be washing your feet. Basically pure white with a little hint of cream, and the best thing about this, this is eco-friendly, recycled from the ocean. "

He added: "Absolutely beautiful, over the moon." Mark has also seen shown off the property at night with a full outdoor lighting display in action. "About last night!! Outdoor lighting coming together nicely!! @cotswoldlampsandinteriors smashed it!! Thanks guys," he captioned the video.

As Mark continues to cast an eye over their building and decorating plans, Michelle is out of the country filming a new drama. The 35-year-old, from Stockport, was then later dubbed a 'tease' when she updated her followers on her time away from the UK with a string of snaps from her first week in Oz back in May.

A number of weeks have whizzed by since then but the truth of her mammoth stay Down Under has since been revealed. Michelle will star in the new BBC drama Ten Pound Poms, created by Bafta-award winner Danny Brocklehurst. The Brassic star will lead the original six-part series, set in Australia, alongside Games Of Thrones star Faye Marsay and Luther actor Warren Brown.

The drama will follow a group who have been promised a better quality of life in Australia for only £10, leaving behind post-war Britain. Former Corrie actress Michelle will play young nurse Kate, who arrives in Australia without her fiance and will do whatever it takes to “rewrite her devastating past”, the BBC said.

At the heart of the drama is Annie and Terry Roberts, played by Marsay and Brown, who are trying to do the best for their family despite the poor living conditions of the migrant hostel and local attitudes towards immigrants. They will star alongside Leon Ford’s character Bill, who has lost his family business and wants to prove he is living the Australian dream.
