Rio Ferdinand and his TOWIE reality star wife Kate have packed up their lives in southeast London in exchange for a lavish £6.5million mansion in the sun soaked desert of Dubai.
Yesterday, Kate, 34, took to Instagram to announce she and the ex-England footballer's 'fresh start' in United Arab Emirates, giving her 1.4million followers glimpse into their new grand seven-bedroom mansion.
Explaining the Ferdinands' decision to up sticks to the high-end suburb, the mother-of-two told fans they had discussed the move for 'so long' before making 'a new home in the place [they] met' a reality.
Alongside the life update, she shared several photos of the family as she sported a mint green bikini, giving a sneak peak into their ultra-modern 12,700 square foot home which boasts a sprawling garden and a pool.
Fellow celebs, previous co-stars and peers congratulated the family on their move, with the likes of TOWIE's Georgia Kousoulou, Rochelle Humes and former Scottish footballer Ally McCoist leaving well wishes.
