Love Island star Chyna Mills has revealed she is currently living on a boat with her fiancé Neil Jones and their daughter Havana, due to difficulty in finding a permanent home.
Chyna, 24, and Strictly star Neil, 42, sold their previous homes with plans to move into a new property together, but have been left 'in limbo' as they search for the right place.
Replying to a Q&A on Instagram, Chyna described the house-hunting process as 'hell,' explaining they were avoiding complications from property chains.
She wrote: 'I sold my house so me and Neil could buy something together.
'Neil bought his boat before we got together and now its conveniently there for us to stay on while in limbo.
'(Annoyingly) we just haven't found a house we like yet and I also didn't want to be in a chain because the process of buying a house is hell so hopefully we find something soon.'
