It's not even finished yet but I love it. 'But the other day, Jane went 'we can't live here when we're 80'.
So that's like a ticking clock. She said 'there's all these stairs'. So I'm going to be moving when I'm 80.
' He added: 'But I said let's not move let's just move in a load of doctors, nurses and security I could have a team living inside. A driver, someone who I could play table tennis with, so that would be better 'Moving at 80 with all this s*** again. I don't want to think about it 'Jane did most of it anyway.
' Ricky and author Jane, who have been together for over 40 years, previously lived in a £10.8m home in Hampstead, North London. They also share a riverside property in Marlow, Bucks, and two New York apartments.
Their new megamansion boasts nine bedrooms, including a master bedroom with dressing rooms and his and hers en-suite bathrooms. The property also contains a formal drawing room and dining room, a huge kitchen/diner, a bar and wine cellar, plus a gym with 'double height ceiling'.

That's all we could afford. Our little bed was in this room. I could open the fridge from the bed.
