She was asked: "What’s been your best investment?" Coleen's responded: "Probably property. My very first property cost me £60,000 in Middlesex and recently I saw it on the market for half a million, but the house I’m selling has just sold for £895,000 and Ray and I bought that for £740,000 twelve years ago. I’ll have a mortgage on my new house and I’ve also taken on a small house that my sister lived in that I bought ages ago in Blackpool, so that’s a bit of an investment as well."

The TV star moved home during the first UK lockdown, after she divorced Ray Fensome. Speaking of the move to her stunning countryside bolthole with a smallholding, she said: "We had to do it while we were social distancing, so it took three cars and a really small van, it took 12 and a half hours for us to move 20 minutes up the road. With 15 animals."
In the same interview, she revealed she has a mortgage on her new home. Citing her financial priority as: "Working to pay my mortgage." Going on to say, at the time: "I've got 18 years left to pay because I’ve just taken on a new mortgage and I can’t get an interest-only one because of my age. It’s really scary and really exciting at the same time, and it’s giving me a massive incentive to keep working, which my manager loves as I just keep saying yes to everything."

The beautiful house has a giant kitchen, cosy lounge, pub-style dining room and acres of space for all of the animals.
While her fans are usually in awe of her glamorous surroundings, her recent home addition left them divided. Taking to Instagram, the mum-of-three posted a photo of an eye-catching piece of sculptural art that one of her friends had made. It featured three pieces of wood bolted to the wall, plus a rustic wooden shelf on which sat an orange and a small rock.
