Mark Wright is giving his followers an update on his huge garden and almost-completed swimming pool at the £3.5million Essex villa he and wife Michelle Keegan built

Mark Wright gave his followers an update on his £3.5million Essex mansion on Friday by revealing his huge garden and almost finished swimming pool.

The mansion that Mark, 36, shares with his wife Michelle Keegan, 36, has been through a lot of work over the last year as they built their dream home from the ground up.

The former TOWIE star used his Instagram Stories on his home account to showcase the progress.

While filming the gardening, Mark explained to his fans that the recent bad weather interrupted the completion of the pool.

He explained: “Due to the constant rain, the grass is thriving exceptionally well, but that means the pool had to be halted because we obviously couldn’t put tiles – they wouldn’t stick as long as it was filled with water.” There were about five centimeters of water. “We exhausted everything today.”

In a video, the craftsmen have tiled the top step of the pool. Mark went on to share with his followers why they made this particular design decision.

The reality star said, “The reason we made a big, deep top step is because it’s almost like a little kiddy pool… Dogs, the kids can paddle around in it and we can sit up here… Love that.” Design.’

During some videotaping, Mark was delivering cheese and coleslaw sandwiches and jars of orange squash to the workers while they were at work.

He also gave them many words of encouragement, telling the workers that the patio “looked spotless.”

In the final video clip, workers can be seen cleaning Mark’s large windows to complete the day’s work.

In the video, Mark commented, “Those windows really needed cleaning.” It’s been a while.’

He also captioned the post, “Acknowledgment Post.” These guys from @primexcleaning work hard. @homehubgroup’s windows are getting clean too.’

This comes after the couple gave fans a glimpse of their stunning Essex mansion after moving into the property last year.

And the refurbishment work on the £3.5million property appears to be going well, as a stunning snap of the property revealed a spacious outdoor area with three cabana sunbeds and several loungers.

The garden, which looks straight out of a Hollywood film, includes a stunning pool set amidst a white stone terrace.

There are also large steps leading down to the garden area which is lit by dramatic lights.

In another snap, a large gray couch and a fire pit on the patio closer to the house could be seen from a different angle.

And in the video, Mark walked through the huge room, which featured walls of gleaming charcoal, glass, and wooden cabinets, and a white tile floor.

In the center of the kitchen was a huge island with an electric range perfect for his cooking tutorial.

He placed a blender and his ingredients on the marble-effect countertop and got to work.

In the post, he wrote, “HAPPY PANCAKE DAY.” Banana Blueberry Pancakes. Pancakes… but make them healthy and believe me they are sooooo good!! Kind of tastes like banana bread, but lighter.”

He then listed the ingredients and the cooking process so fans could make his creation at home.
