FORMER soap hunk Adam Rickitt and his Good Morning Britain star wife Katy have made a huge property investment overseas.

The couple have long dreamt of a life in Sicily and now they have made it a reality after remortgaging their UK home and splashing the cash of a Mediterranean holiday home.

Adam and Katy confirmed last week that they had sealed the deal on snapping up their dream pad in the sun.

The 47-year-old revealed it would be their “home from home” with a view to spending an increasing amount of time there.

Katy and Adam’s main base is in Knutsford, Cheshire with their two dogs but it seems they could be ditching the luxury county for life in the sun full-time if plans come to fruition.

Former soap star Adam and his journalist wife have set up their own side hustle in Cheshire but have plans to move the business to Sicily in time.

Their craft beer and artisan gin bar called Dexter and Jones has become vital in their lives but they could adapt they sunshine life to include their business.

Speaking all about their European dream, Katy wrote on Instagram: “What the hell just happened. We are giddy with excitement!

“After a ceremony much like a signing of the wedding register we are the proud owners of a tiny slice of heaven in the island we’ve come to know as the Happy Place: ortigia!

“After years of obsessively binge watching @aplaceinthesunofficial I still never thought I’d be lucky enough to do this, and maybe we are actually crazy as we’ve remortgaged our own house to do so!”

Katy continued: “But we came to the conclusion that life is too short and being able to save up the date nights and escape here when life gives you a breather rather than having to always plan ahead just felt like the ultimate dream … and worth accepting that the bulldogs will always own the only sofa at home for.

“We will give you all a proper tour very soon but for now we are off to go and shop for paint and hoovers in the sunshine!! How crazy is that?!!!”

Adam also spoke about the decision as he wrote online: “We did a thing!!

“It’s been a lifelong dream to have a Sicilian escape…it’s not flash…it’s not a mansion..but it is ours!!!”

In the accompanying snaps, the celebrity pair showed off some of their brand new home.

Adopting a traditional European feel, it was adorned with exposed stone walls and white-wash features.

It also came complete with built-in seating areas and a stunning outdoor terrace – perfect for the pair to host their family and A-list pals.

Australia's hockey women have suffered another drubbing by the Netherlands, the world's No.1 side, for the second day on the trot in Amstelveen.

THE top 10 fastest-selling motors last month have been revealed – and the car ranked in second place is somewhat surprising.

Data from Motors shared this week showed that used examples of the evergreen Vauxhall Corsa were the quickest out of the door of dealerships across the country in May.

On average, a Corsa that’s roughly six months to a year old stood on a forecourt for just 8.6 days before it was snapped up.

The much-loved hatchback, which, on average costs between £11,000 and £14,000 second-hand, was followed, perhaps surprisingly, by the Ford Explorer in second place.

Nearly-new examples of the pure-electric family SUV sold after 11.6 days on average – which the experts at Motors believing the Explorer’s popularity was down to its “keen pricing”.

Still, the Explorer’s place on the list is by far the most eye-catching, compared to others.

The full top-10 list can be found below.

Motors also revealed that dealer inventories averaged 52 units during May with the average price of a used car on their platform at £17,197.

Overall, dealers were forced to trim their prices to get stock off of their forecourts.

Commenting on the data for May, Motors marketing director Lucy Tugby told Car Dealer Mag: “Other nearly new cars in our Top 10 include the Seat Ateca, Peugeot 2008 and Peugeot 208, suggesting competitive pricing as dealers moved to clear their stocks to avoid competing with promotions on new cars.

“The fast sales were achieved despite our May Market View analysis tracking a monthly increase in days to sell from 29.3 to 30.3.”

OUT WITH THE OLD

We’re almost at the halfway point of 2025 in what’s been a whirlwind six months or so in the motoring world.

The UK is in the midst of a transition to electric vehicles which comes with new regulations and economic pressures, while the industry continues to adapt to changing consumer behaviour.

Elsewhere, the Ford Puma remains the nation’s favourite motor while Tesla’s favouritism begins to dip, and Nissan’s problems are going from bad to worse.

We’ve also had some exciting car releases, from the Alpine A290 hot hatchback and Dacia Bigster SUV, through to the outrageous Aston Martin Valhalla.

We’ve also learned of the demise of some of our favourite models – ready to drive off into the sunset.

Here are some of the biggest nameplates reaching the end of their production runs that have been announced this year.

Amazon Prime Video may have a habit of releasing its lineup for the month late, but the streamer is prepared to dominate summer 2025. Prime Video is betting on action comedies this summer, including a trio of films with A-list casts that rival anything you could watch in theaters. For romance lovers, the third and […]

Вітамін B12 важливий для клітинного метаболізму і нервової системи, оскільки допомагає нервовим волокнам покриватися ізолюючою речовиною – мієліном. Брак цього вітаміну сильніше проявляється в старості. Тому в молодому віці можна пропустити симптоми дефіциту B12, прийнявши їх за невралгію або втому. Дослідження, яке опублікувала група вчених, показує, що тривалий дефіцит B12 викликає невропатію – ураження окремих […]
