TV presenter Dec Donnelly has solved the problem of an “eyesore” property next to his £7million mansion — by buying it for £2.25million.
The I’m A Celebrity host has spent a fortune turning his pad into a dream home with a swimming pool, steam room, cinema and poolside kitchen.

But a semi-detached property converted into flats next door had become dilapidated.
So Dec, 48, bought it for himself and now plans to renovate it.
Documents posted online show Dec and his 45-year-old wife Ali Astall have applied to build a single-storey side and rear extension on the West London property.
Dec’s TV partner Ant McPartlin used to live nearby too but left the area after his marriage collapsed.
A source said: “The street Dec lives in is very swanky and lined with large detached houses and his place is one of the most impressive mansions there.
“But other neighbours have taken less care of their properties and the one bang next door to Dec had been allowed to become a bit of an eyesore.
“Most people would have to live with seeing it go to rack and ruin but Dec has taken the initiative and snapped it up when it came on the market.
“The front has already been secured and boarded up ready for the rebuild and the planning application has gone in.
“And if it’s a patch on Dec’s place when it’s done, it’ll be a terrific investment.”
It is unclear whether the couple plan to move family members into the new home or sell it for a profit once the refurbishment is completed.
