James Corden has had to cancel upcoming episodes of The Late, Late Show after testing positive for COVID-19. The British star will be isolating with his wife Julia and their children at their family home in Los Angeles – and it has plenty to keep them entertained.
The family moved into their £7.5million mansion shortly before Christmas in 2017, after purchasing it from another TV big shot – Modern Family creator Steve Levitan, who bought the property for around £1.17million in 1996.
The five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home spans 8,609 square feet, and is located on a sprawling 20,000 square foot estate complete with rolling lawns, a swimming pool and spa, plus a fire pit and barbeque area – ideal for hosting James' celebrity friends.

The home has a pristinely-furnished living room with a traditional open fireplace and grand piano. Large windows allow plenty of sunlight in, while double doors lead out onto an outdoor terrace and seating area. The living room is currently decorated with white walls and traditional wooden flooring, with floor-to-ceiling length blue curtains to add a pop of colour.

There is another more formal family room and dining room on the ground floor, which joins on to the large chef's kitchen. The room is decorated in a similar colour scheme to the living room, and has a large patterned rug on the floor, and plush neutral sofas with velvet throw cushions.

James and Julia will have plenty of space to prepare meals for their growing brood; the huge chef's kitchen is fitted with numerous white wooden cabinets, state-of-the-art appliances and a central island unit with two stools. As well as having a dining table within the kitchen, there is an additional dining table in the family room.
