Rochelle Humes has taken fans inside the building of her 'forever home' - after two years of work on the brand new mansion.
The influencer and businesswoman, 36, took to Instagram on Tuesday to post from her home account Home Humes where she gave a major update on how things are taking shape.
She revealed in June 2023 they were taking on the project after moving out of their £3.3million north London family abode.
With the bones of the building now all completed the clip showed her and husband Marvin talking a walk around as builders continued to work on the windows, fixtures and fittings.
It also showed Rochelle in design meetings as she picked the finishing touches and paint colours.
The video really showed the scale of the huge home which had high ceilings, sprawling grounds, a huge staircase in the entrance way and stylish brickwork and windows from the outside.

The influencer and businesswoman, 36, took to Instagram on Tuesday to post from her home account Home Humes where she gave a major update on how things are taking shape
She penned in the caption of her video: 'Things are starting to happen - our dream of building a 'new build that feels like it's been there forever' is starting to take shape and it finally feels like the time to start bringing you guys along for the ride…
'Over 2 years later, this is where the fun really begins…'.
At the end of last year, the presenter visited the property and revealed that the house was still very much a shell but rooms including the bathroom were starting to take shape.
In her posts the star shared she'd enlisted the skills of Architectural designer Sal O'Connor to create her dream property.
The star then hinted that her house will be closer to completion in 2026, writing: 'In the next two weeks all windows will be in and in the new year things will look a lot different.'
Back at the start of the year, Rochelle revealed the house was still little more than bricks and scaffolding, as she shared a snap of the work on the property.
In 2023, the couple revealed they are building their 'forever home' after moving out of their £3.3million north London family abode.
Rochelle shared the news on Instagram, admitting it was completely 'out of the blue', but that she was 'so excited'.
The TV presenter explained how the couple had received an unexpected offer on their house and subsequently found a plot in an area they 'have always loved'.

She was seen in a design meeting where she picked out the paint colours for some of the rooms in the new house
Admitting she 'must be crazy', Rochelle said the family will be living in a rental property for the next two years, joking that her and Marvin are 'definitely a little bit gypsy at heart'.
Explaining what was going on, she said: 'We are moving. Can you believe? I actually must be crazy. And I'm moving in every single sense of the word.
'So first of all, with the house, we've found ourselves in a position where we got an offer on our house. Anyway, crazy.
'It happened out of the blue, but we have found a plot that is in a spot that we have always loved so badly.'
She then revealed she and Marvin were constructing their own property and watching Grand Designs for inspiration.
Rochelle continued: 'So we're going to build a house. I've never built a house before.
'I'm so excited but we are now in a rental for eighteen months to two years. I think more two years probably... plus, whilst we build hopefully the forever home.
'We love moving. It's become our favourite pastime. I'm not sure why, how or whatever but we're definitely a little bit gypsy at heart. I love embarking on a new adventure.'

Work is still ongoing at the property but they hope to move in later this year
There is also a huge outdoor space which will no doubt be landscaped to perfection
Rochelle has been having design meetings to go over the creation of the dream space
The couple are proud parents of three children, Alaia-Mai, 12, Valentina, eight, and son Blake, four
Rochelle said the new house won't be far from their former property explaining: 'We're in the same sort of area so we're not far.
'The kids will stay in the same school so that's good. We've promised each other this will be the forever home.
'We've never down this before and I'm so happy and so excited about it. So that's the home. I'm also moving offices.
'I don't know how everything's happened at once but at the end of this week we'll officially be given the keys and everything will be completed. New chapter incoming!'
