Vinnie Jones has sold the last property he owned with his late wife Tanya.
The actor, 58, was married to Tanya for 25 years before she passed away in 2019 aged just 53 after a battle with cancer.
A spokesperson for Vinny confirmed to MailOnline that he has sold the house he and Tanya shared in Watford.
Vinnie previously revealed that he sold the house he and Tanya shared in LA because he couldn’t handle the idea of living there without her.
It comes after it was announced that Vinnie will star in a brand new documentary series for Discovery+ called the ‘next Clarkson’s Farm’.

The ex-footballer is teaming up with Lime Pictures – the makers of Hollyoaks and Geordie Shore – on a docuseries about his new life on a sprawling 147-acre plot of land on a farm in Petworth, West Sussex.
Following Tanya’s sad passing, he pushed himself out of his comfort zone by starring in Celebrity
The series will also build on his passion for the British countryside.
Vinnie said: ‘Most people know me as a professional footballer or Hollywood hardman, but what they probably don’t know is that all that hard work is to support my real passion: my home in the great British countryside.
‘I grew up living on the land and can’t wait to show people the joy and beauty of our countryside, and the rewards of old-fashioned hard work. Bring it on.’
As part of the transformation, Mr Jones and his team will look to develop new conservation methods, restore habitats and attract wildlife.
It’s a similar premise to Clarkson’s Farm, the Amazon series that features Grand Tour and former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson as he attempts to turn his ‘Diddly Squat Farm’ into a sustainable and profitable business.
After Tanya’s death, Vinnie told how he threw himself into his work and sought help from a psychologist to avoid ‘drowning’ in his own despair.

“(Sadness) is a ghost, it’s a blanket. It wraps around you and pulls you down. You don’t know when it’s going to happen, why it’s happening. It just happens,” he told Stuff.
‘You have to try to get your head above the water, breathe in as long as you can, because you know you are going to be pulled back under the water.
‘You have to give people what they want, otherwise you drown. It’s f*****g tiring (sometimes I want to) build a 50 foot wall around it to keep everyone out and me in… My spirit may be broken inside, but I think I know enough and have enough experience to deal with it.’
