The price, a cool £40million.
3. Aspen House, Chigwell, Essex

There are five bedrooms (all with walk in wardrobes), and six bathrooms, all to a bang up to date design.

4. Woodlawn, East Road, St George's Hill, Weybridge, Surrey

A study in elegant design, this Surrey country house is nestled in almost four acres of perfectly manicured lawns.

The Real Full Monty is back ... but this time on Ice .
The new line-up of celebrities will perform their routines without a wooly hat in sight ... and here is a sneak first look at the stars in the spotlight albeit in a few more clothes .
Led by Ashley Banjo and Coleen Nolan , the show raises awareness of cancers in intimate areas of the body and how self-checks help save lives .
Show bosses say the message has never been more important given there are less diagnoses being made because of the pandemic .
Stepping up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are Radio 4 Woman 's Hour legend Dame Jenni Murray , actress Linda Lusardi , Love Island 's Shaunghna Phillips , actress Hayley Tamaddon and This Morning 's Dr Zoe .
While baring all for the boys will be rugby star Gareth Thomas , actor Jamie Lomas , singer Jake Quickenden , jockey Bob Champion , Diversity 's Perri Kiely and Love Island 's Chris Hughes .
The Loose Women star and Mirror columnist will strip in honour of her cancer-hit sisters .
Bernie died in 2013 , while Linda and Anne are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : `` This is my favourite show to do , because cancer has affected my family so devastatingly . ''
The 55-year-old insists stripping never gets easier , saying : `` I 'll never feel comfortable about the end .
I did think this year , 'Oh , I wo n't be nervous any more about learning a routine ' – then Ashley puts it on ice ! ''
But after Covid disrupting GPs , she says the message to self-check is vital .
And she adds of the show : `` After @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will feel uplifting too . ''
The Diversity star told how as well as having to strip off , all the stars are getting tested for Covid to make sure the show continues .
`` Getting everyone together safely at the moment is a challenge , '' he says .
`` We 're all being continuously tested ... .but trying to get everyone together and create this show on ice , I mean - it 's a big group of people , getting everyone up to scratch and being able to pull off @ @ @ @ @ @ @ situation has been really difficult .
`` As a result , this is by far the shortest amount of time we 've had .
We 're just over a week out from the final show and we 've probably got about 20 % of the routine now !
We 're closer to the wire than ever .
I 'm just hoping we can pull it off . ''
Dame Jenni said she was `` absolutely flabbergasted '' when asked to do the show , saying she told her agent : `` Absolutely not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would make you think I would do something like that ?
I 'm not baring my breasts in public . ''
She later said her husband thinks she is a nutcase .
Linda Lusardi says that despite her glamour modelling past it was still a `` concern having to expose myself . ''
The ex-glamour model , 62 , broke her foot in Dancing on Ice , and says : `` I do have a fear of hurting myself , but the cause is far greater than my concerns .
There 's no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
Jockey Bob says his own battle with testicular cancer inspired his decision to bare all for the cameras .
`` Having had cancer myself , I know how important it is .
I was one of the lucky ones because if I 'd left it another two or three weeks , I would n't have been here , '' he says .
And he joked that the big reveal at the end was tastefully done .
`` Obviously , we have to take our clothes off , but it 's not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very tasteful .
`` Of course that still worries me but the ice skating worries me a lot more , '' he says .
Love Island star Chris says he did n't think twice about taking part in solidarity with his brother Ben .
`` The main thing was seeing everything that my brother has gone through over the last year and a half since he was diagnosed with testicular cancer .
`` Obviously it is so important to continue to raise awareness about testicular cancer and prostate cancer as well .
To @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a positive manner and to be able to reflect what my brother has been through to an audience again , to help raise awareness , it just seemed like definitely the right thing to do .
`` It 's a great show .
I 've watched before and know what it 's all about , although it 's a bit different this year with the ice . ''
Dr Zoe says that her friends and family have been left staggered by her signing up for the show .
`` I tend to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ First of all , it 's , 'You 're doing what ?
! '
`` Because everyone focuses on the Full Monty - showing the boobs bit .
So they are a bit shocked .
`` But as soon as I explain about the reasons why I 'm doing it and the impact that the show can have , then everybody gets it and is very supportive .
Although a lot of them are saying – 'Rather you than me ! '
'' The actress says there is a very personal reason as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this year .
`` I 'm doing this for one of my best friends , called Rebecca Gibbs , who died six years ago of cancer .
`` Before she died she said to me , whatever comes up for telly , if they ask you to do it , for cancer , you say yes , and you do it .
So I said , okay , I 'll do whatever you want !
Whatever it takes .
`` And I was always have .
So that 's the reason I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's on ice as well , is just amazing for me because I love skating !
`` It means I can get my ice skates back on so that 's great . ''
Reality star Jake says he has no qualms about being naked in front of strangers .
`` I did a musical called 'Hair ' where I had to get naked every day , so the nakedness is not a massive deal to me and I do n't really feel this is about how I look - there 's a much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are all doing it .
`` So my biggest challenge at the moment is that I 've just badly injured my shoulder and arm and had to have some major surgery on it , so the timing is terrible .
`` I 'm not allowed to skate yet so I 've been rehearsing the choreography off the ice .
Thankfully I can skate from Dancing on Ice but it ’ s not ideal !
`` I 'm just hoping it heals in time for me to do the full routine .
To be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - I 'll skate out with my sling on .
I 'm still going to do it , no matter what . ''
Hollyoaks star Jamie says he signed on the dotted line on the advice of his famous family members .
`` My brother-in-law has done the show before , Matthew Wolfenden , and when I watched it I thought it seemed like a great way to give something back .
`` I 'm in a position to help and to be asked and it is a great way to do some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got prostate cancer , so it 's my gift to him , me making a fool of myself for a good cause , '' he says .
His daughter though has been left slightly perturbed by the prospect of dad stripping off .
`` I think my daughter is a bit embarrassed , she 's like , 'Er , dad , what are you doing ?
! '
.
My dad is made up that I 'm doing it and my friends have been taking the mickey out of me , but that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Diversity star admits that he ca n't quite get his head around the nation seeing him in all his glory .
`` I keep forgetting that I 'm getting completely naked at the end of that and the thought of everyone seeing me full pickle is…well , not something I want to think about at all , '' he says .
Love Island star Shaughna says she is doing the show in honour of her dad .
`` I lost my Dad in December 2016 .
He had cancer for 18 months and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perspective of what I thought was important .
`` When my dad was ill , I felt like no-one had any idea what I was going through , even my close friends .
`` So , if anyone watching this is going through what I 've been through losing him and can then feel like they 're not alone , I 'd be so happy to be able to do that . ''
GarethThomas is stripping off on The Real Full Monty on Ice as a tribute to his granddad .
The 46-year-old @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I am taking my kit off on the ice , that 's a scary thing .
`` It 's for my grandad who passed away with cancer .
And because of my granddad , my mother took my father to hospital and they found cancer - luckily they found in enough time . ''
Gareth , who revealed he was HIV positive last year added : `` It 's a bonkers thing to do , but when you realise that you ’ re doing it for it eclipses the fear of doing it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the people you love , so it makes it all worthwhile .
Everything I do in my life since I 've started speaking about my sexuality and HIV status is to represent a community of people that I 'm un-f**king-believably honoured to represent . ''

"I think my daughter is a bit embarrassed, she's like, 'Er, dad, what are you doing?!'. My dad is made up that I'm doing it and my friends have been taking the mickey out of me, but that's to be expected."

"I lost my Dad in December 2016. He had cancer for 18 months and it completely changed my life and my perspective of what I thought was important.
"When my dad was ill, I felt like no-one had any idea what I was going through, even my close friends.
"So, if anyone watching this is going through what I've been through losing him and can then feel like they're not alone, I'd be so happy to be able to do that."
Gareth Thomas
GarethThomas is stripping off on The Real Full Monty on Ice as a tribute to his granddad.
The 46-year-old former Welsh rugby star revealed: "I am taking my kit off on the ice, that's a scary thing.
"It's for my grandad who passed away with cancer. And because of my granddad, my mother took my father to hospital and they found cancer - luckily they found in enough time."

Gareth, who revealed he was HIV positive last year added: "It's a bonkers thing to do, but when you realise that you’re doing it for it eclipses the fear of doing it.
"You're doing it for the people you love, so it makes it all worthwhile. Everything I do in my life since I've started speaking about my sexuality and HIV status is to represent a community of people that I'm un-f**king-believably honoured to represent."

What do an alien, blob, viking and a sausage have in common? They're all part of this year's perfectly bizarre Masked Singer UK line-up.
12 brand new masked celebrities are joining the second series of the show to show off their singing prowess and keep fans guessing.
The show proved a massive hit for ITV back in January and February, so it's no surprise to anyone that it's back with a bang.
Its second series will also see the return of panelists Davina McCall, Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross, who will be joined by Mo Gilligan after Ken Jeong was unable to return due to the pandemic.

Among the brand new line-up includes Dragon, who describes themselves as a "cutie", Bush Baby who is an "adorable looking cheeky fluffy fella" and a "rockin'" Robin.
Here's the full line-up fans can look forward to...
SAUSAGE

Are they battered, or will they just batter the competition? It's anyone's guess!
Wrapped up in newspaper, Sausage keen to be the talk of the town.
Yet who could have a connection to the good ol' fry-up? Or is the reference simply down to their chipper personality? Or a certain Mr Chips?
ALIEN

This sassy Alien is hoping to dazzle earthlings with out of this world performances.
With roped turquoise and emerald hair and a mirrored outfit, they'll certainly stand out from the crowd.
But will it be their intense amber eyes or their vocals which will entrance the audience?
DRAGON

Less fire-breathing Dragon, more cute rainbow-coloured lizard.
Complete with a multicoloured tummy and gold-painted nails, Dragon is described as a "cutie" certainly seems to love eye-catching details.
But is there a ferocious vocal talent beneath that sweet exterior?
SEAHORSE

Elegant and poised, Seahorse already exudes confidence with her on-point posing.
The beautiful marine creature is dressed head to toe in turquoise.
Is their costume a reference to their athletic capabilities? Or are they just hoping that their singing goes swimmingly?
VIKING

Armed with a sword, shield and helmet, Viking is ready to take on this battle seriously.
With their head covering most of their body and gingery beard reaching down to their knees, are they possibly referencing their heritage?
Or do they just really like Vikings?
BLOB

With four eyes as opposed to the traditional two, will all eyes be on them?
HARLEQUIN

We've already had a queen win the show, but could the joker in the pack trump them all?

Could their theatrical appearance have any relevance to their background?
SWAN

Set to make a dramatic entrance, Swan's striking black and red appearance will turn heads.
Clues point to their confident 'swanning' into town - could they be part of a reality TV show?
Particularly considering the eluding to them potentially "ruffling feathers"...
BUSH BABY

Easily the most adorable character in the competition.
Described as a "cheeky fluffy fella", Bush Baby looks like he's just woken up in his bright yellow onesie.
But will his voice match his cute appearance?
BADGER

Badger, badger, badger, mushroom - oops, wrong decade.
This badger looks keen to rock on in his leather motorcycle outfit and goggles.
With him referred to as wanting to "step out of his sett" and "stand out from the crowd", could he have previously been part of a band? Or is he still in one?
ROBIN
Image: PA) PA)
He's here to party, from his tight, golden glittery trousers to his matching gloves and red feathered chest.
Robin is rockin' his look, but he'll also be hoping to deliver some sweet harmonies.
Described as wanting to "show that he’s not just for Christmas", could he have already achieved a festive No. 1?
GRANDFATHER CLOCK
Image: PA) PA)
Speculation is already rife as to who is behind the clock face.
While he's referred to as the "original Tik Tok", some are suggesting that he could actually be a former Time Lord?
Joel Dommett is returning to host the show again as he helps the celeb panel out with their sleuthing.

Jessica also made it hard for her to be filmed in the shower by not having very many during her time in the castle.
During her 18 day stay on the show, Jess admitted that she only showered six times during that time.
She said: “I had six showers. I’m disgusting! You’re just so cold you don’t want to take off your clothes, you just cannot be bothered.”
With the temperatures plummeting in North Wales, Jess said that many just stayed in their thermals rather than risk Jack Frost nipping at their extremities in the bathroom.

This led to a particularly pungent camp as she shared: "The camp was very pongy. The bathroom smelt like fish guts. It smelt like offal, the offcuts of meat."
After leaving the camp, Jess had a long soak in the bath to wash away the smells of her stay in the castle.
She responded to claims that the camp had been centrally heated as the likes of Vernon and AJ Pritchard walking around in t-shirts.
Jess revealed: "We’re in Wales, we’re not in Australia, it’s not 30 degrees. We are freezing cold the whole time.
“All of us had thermals. I wore three pairs of socks at one point. I asked for boots that were two sizes bigger so that I could fit in."
