Changing Rooms star Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen and his wife Jackie have made the decision to gift their Cotswolds estate to their daughters’ husbands, meaning they no longer own that home

TV star and design guru Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen has disclosed that he’s handed over his Cotswolds estate to his sons-in-law – meaning he no longer owns that home. This revelation comes on the heels of his candid admission about still reeling from a terrifying ordeal during a Netflix production.
The 60 year old shared in January that he was grappling with an “end of life crisis” following a chilling event while participating in Netflix’s ‘Celebrity Bear Hunt’. In the midst of filming, Llewelyn-Bowen had a brush with death in a water stunt where he became unconscious after being pulled under a boat.
Now focusing on his future, the ‘Changing Rooms’ icon is “no longer lord of the manor” at his Cotswolds property, where he resides in the main house with his wife Jackie, also 60, their youngest daughter Hermione, 27, and her spouse. His eldest daughter Cecile, 30, lives just a stone’s throw away on the same grounds with her husband and their two kids.
Laurence recounted the humorous experience of convincing solicitors of his decision: “One of the most amusing things was having to sit down with a solicitor for them to assess whether Jackie and I were being coerced into this by our bullying sons-in-law. Our friends just can’t believe it. They go, ‘what happens if you all fall out?'”

With a net worth of £8 million, the celebrity penned in his Sunday Times column his rationale: “We’re not going to be those old people sitting on a great big pile of cash. Terribly unhappy, terribly lonely.”

“Owning a lot of stuff but not actually having the benefit of it. We are very, very privileged, but we have made this decision. We have manifested this life.”
In an intriguing turn of events, the property deeds have been placed in the names of his daughters’ husbands, with Hermione commenting: “Hilariously, Cecile and I aren’t on the deeds, because we inherit it anyway – it’s actually the husbands.'”
Llewelyn-Bowen opened up in a January column about the grave incident he experienced on Bear Grylls’ survival show ‘Celebrity Bear Hunt’, which was broadcast the following month in February. His harrowing experience still weighed heavily on him.
While filming in Costa Rica, the then-59-year-old interior designer was involved in a water-based task that required jumping from a boat. Unfortunately, he became entangled in a bungee line and was dragged underwater beneath the vessel.

The frightening event extended for agonising minutes until the production’s safety crew rescued the unconscious television star from peril.
Before his stint on the reality show, the famous face reflected on his wife’s opinion, noting: “She feels it’s got midlife crisis written all over it, although, as I keep telling her, I’m too old to have a midlife crisis, this is more like an end of life crisis.
“She’s actually, frankly, incredibly jealous. She would love to do it and has always been mildly irritated that no one’s ever asked her to do something like this.
“Because she literally has always had in her handbag, a SAS Survival Guide, to get herself out of all sorts. I meant to bring it actually and again, how foolishly, I completely forgot.”
According to the Mail, Llewelyn-Bowen invited his offspring and their families over to his posh Cotswolds estate after he and his wife Jackie realised they “were rattling around the house like dried peas in a luxury tin.”
The addition of family life added new vibrancy to their lives, with the celebrity musing: “We certainly aren’t sliding into our sixtieth year with boredom calling. We want to use our time wisely and valuably. The way you design your world helps the way you feel.
“We have our big manor house filled with children and pieces of brightly coloured plastic and Peppa Pig again.

“I think its something that more and more people should be doing, for us boomers generation we’re all sort of surprised we’ve made it to 60.
Ali Bastian, who has been in soaps Hollyoaks and Doctors, had a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy following her stage II breast cancer diagnosis last year

Former Hollyoaks star Ali Bastian said her body is “under construction” as she opened up about her cancer journey.
After Ali was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer last year, the 42-year-old actress underwent gruelling chemotherapy and had a mastectomy. However, she delighted fans in March this year by revealing she had overcome the disease, statistically the most common cancer in the UK.
Speaking in a podcast this week, Ali said: “I couldn’t have a reconstruction at the time because we always knew I’d have to have radiotherapy. At some point there’ll be some kind of something.
“Initially I was like 100 per cent it’s happening. But now, I want to have the conversations and talk through what the options are, but I’m not actually married to any of them at the moment.”

The actress, who portrayed Becca Dean in Hollyoaks from 2001 to 2007, gave the update on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, presented by Giovanna Fletcher. Giovanna, 40, asked Ali how she handled her recovery so far, to which Ali said: “In some ways better than I would have imagined actually, even the sort of gearing up for a mastectomy. I’ve got a really good prosthetic that makes a big difference. It means in clothes I feel normal. It’s bright pink. It makes me happy.
“It’s just very different to the lump of silicone that you get handed in the hospital, which is a hell of a moment. This is a lot lighter and easy to wear. I quite like that it doesn’t look like a chicken fillet, like a pretend boob. It’s something that I could show the kids as well because it’s so visually appealing.”

Ali had a regular role in BBC soap Doctors in 2019 but left to have her first of two children, both of whom are girls. Since starting a family, she hasn’t had a majpr acting credit but she told Giovanna she is looking to the future. The star, from Windsor, Berkshire, added: “I just keep saying to myself really ‘I’m still under construction, I’ve been through a lot, I’m healing at the moment.'”
The soap star, who came third in the 2009 series of Strictly Come Dancing, lost her mum in 2023, one year before the cancer journey started. Earlier this year, Ali, who has also been in The Bill, told fans her mum had a short illness.
Nigerian singer Ayra Starr marked a career milestone at the 2025 BET Awards, taking home the Best International Act award, her first-ever win at the event on Monday night.
The 21-year-old Afrobeats star, who had led all African nominees with three nominations, was up for Best Female R&B/Pop Artist, Best New Artist, and Best International Act. While Starr lost in the first two categories to SZA and Leon Thomas respectively, her win in the international category signalled growing global recognition for her sound and rise in the music industry.
Her victory was a standout moment on a night where other Nigerian nominees were left disappointed.

Tems, another strong Nigerian contender, was nominated twice in the BET Her category for her tracks Burning and Hold On from her debut album Born In The Wild. The award was ultimately claimed by Summer Walker for her emotional single Heart of a Woman.
Shallipopi, known for his street-hop sound, was nominated for Best New International Act, while Rema was also in the running for Best International Act, but neither artist clinched the win.
The ceremony, held at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles and hosted by comedian Kevin Hart, was dominated by U.S. acts particularly hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar, who swept up five major awards.
Lamar won Album of the Year for GNX, Best Male Hip Hop Artist, Video of the Year for the viral Not Like Us, Best Collaboration with SZA on Luther, and Video Director of the Year, shared with longtime collaborator Dave Free.

Chris Brown was named Best Male R&B/Pop Artist, while The Best Group award went to Future and Metro Boomin for their joint album.
Rapper Doechii won Best Female Hip Hop Artist and used her acceptance speech to highlight ongoing protests outside the venue.
“As much as I’m honoured by this award, I do want to address what’s happening right now outside of the building,” she said. “There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order.”
She concluded to a standing ovation: “We all deserve to live in hope and not in fear… and we protest against it. Thank you, BET.”
And in one of the night’s most talked-about wins, the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Blue Ivy Carter received the YoungStars Award
On the film and television front, Cynthia Erivo won Best Actress, and Denzel Washington added another accolade to his long career as Best Actor. The musical biopic Luther: Never Too Much took home Best Movie.
Meanwhile, Angel Reese claimed the Sportswoman of the Year award, while NFL quarterback Jalen Hurts took home Sportsman of the Year honors for his standout season.

Blake Lively initially launched a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni – who has strongly refuted the claims – after the pair worked together on It Ends With Us

Blake Lively has spoken out for the first time since she was cleared in the $400million (£294million) defamation and extortion lawsuit filed by her It Ends with Us collaborator Justin Baldoni.
The actress’ powerful statement comes just hours after a judge dismissed Justin’s case. Blake, 37, said on Instagram: “Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organisations united in defending women’s rights to speak up for their safety.
“Like so many others, I’ve felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us. While the suit against me was defeated, so many don’t have the resources to fight back.”
Blake initially launched a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin – who has strongly refuted the claims. However, he hit back with the $400million defamation claim against her, her publicist and husband Ryan Reynolds, all of whom have dismissed the accusations.

The pair worked together on film It Ends With Us
But after the judge chucked out Justin’s claims, a source close to the Los Angeles-born actress said: “Today’s opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit.”

The row happened after Blake and Justin, 41, starred together in It Ends With Us, a romcom released last year. The alleged sexual harassment occurred during production for that film, which Justin directed.
But now, speaking after the dismissal, Blake added she was “more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman’s right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story”.
The Gossip Girl actress, who has four children with Ryan Reynolds, “With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don’t. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you.”

Last month, Blake’s pal Taylor Swift was dragged into the scandal when she was officially subpoenaed to appear as a witness. The pop star was delivered a legal notice by Justin’s lawyer Bryan Freedman – a decision which had been slammed by her team as a tactic to create clickbait.
In a move that appeared to please Blake and Taylor, it was confirmed Justin would no longer be calling on the Bad Blood hitmaker to appear as a witness. Bryan Freedman had claimed Blake had called on “her high-profile friends” including Taylor to “manipulate Justin at every turn.”
Mark Labbett, best known to The Chase fans as quizmaster “The Beast”, was reportedly spotted committing the faux pas during a date with a mystery woman while filming Celebs Go Dating
“The Beast” from The Chase, real name Mark Labbett, found himself in an amusing pickle on Celebs Go Dating after reportedly dozing off during a date.
Labbett, 58, well-known for his sharp intellect and straight-talking on the hit ITV quiz show, seemingly succumbed to sleepiness while the cameras captured the moment mid-date.
The latest series of Celebs Go Dating, which was filmed last month, saw an insider reveal that there wasn’t much spark between the quizzing legend and his suitor.
An anonymous tipster dished:
“Mark was yawning a lot and drifted off briefly. It was a bit of an awkward moment. It’s safe to say there wasn’t much of a spark between them.”

Previously weighing as much as 29 stone, Mark Labbett tied the knot with second cousin Katie in 2014 but called it quits after six years.
He then dated TV host Hayley Palmer in 2023; however, the couple split after just one year together, reports the Express.
A source said: “Mark was yawning a lot and drifted off briefly. It was a bit of an awkward moment. It’s safe to say there wasn’t much of a spark between them.”(Image: IG)
Discussing his break up with Hayley, 43, Labbett confided in The Sun:
“She’s a lovely lady and I was very lucky to date her for a year, and as I said: it’s me, I got old.”
He continued: “There’s been no one since Hayley. I’m not saying there won’t be another one. But I’m certainly not looking.”
Delving into his love life, Labbett reminisced:
“I was single, not coincidentally, for a long, long time when I was a 29st maths teacher who knew it was quite hard to attract a partner then. So I’m quite comfortable without a partner.”
Mark’s representative quipped a witty retort when questioned about the drowsy date:

“If his date was as boring as you have suggested, I’m surprised he didn’t take a pillow with him!”.
