She explained what was happening and said: ‘We are moving. Can you believe it? I must be crazy actually. And I move in every sense of the word.
“So first of all we got into a position with the house where we got an offer on our house. Anyway, crazy.
“It happened out of the blue, but we found a plot in a place we’ve always loved.”
She then revealed that she and Marvin were building their own property and looked to Grand Designs for inspiration.
Rochelle continued, “So we’re going to build a house. I’ve never built a house.
“I’m so excited, but we’re now on a lease for 18 months to two years. I think two more years probably…plus, while we hopefully build the house forever.
‘We like to move. It has become our favorite pastime. I’m not sure why, how, or what, but we’re definitely a bit gypsy at heart. I like to embark on a new adventure.”
Rochelle said the new home won’t be far from their former property, explaining: ‘We’re in the same kind of area, so we’re not far off.
