Speaking to Mirror Celebs when he moved, Phil said: “I’ve loved living in South West London for the last 25 years, but have moved to Hampshire for a change of life, children getting older and changing schools.

“I was born and bred in the countryside so excited about having space, nature and greenery around us.

“Two ponies and six chickens have already joined the family.”
