Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan have been giving fans glimpses into their home in Essex through posts on social media, with the latest showcasing a football pitch on site
Mark Wright shows off his football pitch in back garden
A particular feature in Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan’s spacious garden at their mansion has prompted a reaction from some fans after more footage was shared this week.
The couple, both 37, have created their “dream home” in Essex through a three-year renovation. Last year, they had an apparent housewarming party on the estate, which is understood to have signalled the completion of the project.
They have shared updates about the property through a dedicated home account on Instagram in recent years. It’s included showcasing the back garden at the home, which was shown in a recent post on the platform last month.
Mark took to the account on Thursday to post additional footage of the grounds. He shared a compilation video of the lawn at the property, including the football pitch that the couple have on site. A glimpse of the pitch was shown in the previous post but Mark has now showcased it further.
The video in the post this week began with a clip of the grass prior to apparent treatment. Former semi-professional footballer Mark went on to show the results, telling his followers that they had used fertiliser to improve it. The post was in promotion of the gardening brand Pitchcare, which was also tagged in the caption.
Clips in the video included sweeping footage of the football pitch, which sported mowed stripes through the grass. The goal was visible in one of the clips, in which Mark gave a closer look at the stripes. The presenter was seen kicking a football into the other goal in another part of the video.
Mark wrote in the caption: “After last week’s post about my garden, you know I love turf so had to show you this too. I couldn’t believe the difference – it literally went from dry, sparse and brown to a thick green lawn in just a few weeks.” He added: “Amazing colour and response from using Turf Food Organic Fertilisers on our football pitch and lawn.”
The post has amassed more than more than 6,000 likes and fans took to the comments section to share their thoughts. A number of people seemed impressed by the couple having a football pitch at the back of their renovated home.
One person wrote: “How the other half live.” Someone else teased alongside a laughing emoji: “Who the F has a football pitch in their back garden.” Whilst a third fan said: “Dammit. Always wanted a little pitch in my garden. Jelly much.”
Some people suggested that they would consider having a football pitch at home if they had the space. One follower said: “If I had a garden your size, I would definitely do this.” Another reacted to the post: “I would if I had that land.”
“It looks incredible,” read another response to the footage of the garden. Someone else said: “Amazing home. You must be very proud of it.” Whilst one fan reacted: “My ideal home this.” It was also described as “epic” in the comments.
Another person wrote: “Wow what an amazing house and garden.” Sharing their thoughts on the property, one follower said: “Phenomenal home.” They weren’t alone in the sentiment, with someone else saying: “Looks amazing.”
