Newlyweds Kian and Jodi add baby room to new house plans

Newlyweds Kian Egan and Jodi Albert are already planning a family and have included a 'baby room' in an extension to their house.

The loved-up duo have received planning permission for a development at the house at Strandhill, Co Sligo, which includes four bedrooms, a kitchen and living area, a music and entertainment room.

The en-suite master bedroom will include two separate walk-in wardrobes, while a nearby room has been described on the plans as a 'baby room'.

Former Hollyoaks star Jodi (26) and boyband singer Kian, who recently married in Barbados, were granted planning permission from Sligo County Council to extend their home near the sea at Carrowdough, where they also own a bar.

The pair also own a stunning five-bedroom barn conversion close to Jodi's parents in Essex and an apartment in London.

Kian (29) stays in the house in Sligo when he visits his mum and dad at the large house he bought them in the town.

And the couple have been modest in their plans to build their dream home to raise children in.

"Jodi and I practically do live together," Kian said before they were married. "We have our little small house up there in Sligo -- it's by the seaside," he said. "There's nothing big or special about it, it's only a four-bedroom little bungalow. It's all we need."

Gorgeous

The couple, who dated for seven years, will be doubling the bungalow's original size to a roomy 5,231sq ft.

They plan to divide their time between their three homes, but it looks as if Jodi and Kian are planning on settling down in Sligo if they have children.

"Kian and I are really excited about our lives together," Jodi said. "And when I do have a baby I want to spend all my time with it, I want to be the one who brings it up. To do that I would have to be grown up myself.

"Kian's house in Sligo is gorgeous, right on the beach," she added.

The Craic Is Back At Sandown Park

Celebrate everything the Emerald Isle has to offer as the popular Irish Day at Sandown Park returns on Saturday.

Racegoers can enjoy a pint of the black stuff while watching all the exciting action on and off the track, with horses not the only attraction.

Dancing, food, music and entertainment will light up what is undoubtedly a craic’ing day out for all.

Present on the day will Shane Filan from Westlife, a local resident to the Esher venue.

U2 tribute act, U2UK will be playing live after the racing has concluded.

Racegoers may also be tempted to perform a jig or two after watching ‘Ceolsha Dance’ perform throughout the day.

The dancers’ careers have included performances in some of the most successful stage shows that we have seen in the last 20 years, namely Riverdance and Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance.

Bentleys Restaurant is London’s most famous Oyster Bar and traditional Irish grown oysters will be on sale in the Grandstand throughout the day.

Richard Corrigan, the head chef at Bentleys, recently launched his newest restaurant, Corrigan’s Mayfair to great acclaim and is also involved in Lindsay House Restaurant in Soho, London.

A regular on TV programs such as Saturday Kitchen and BBC2’s Full of Food, Richard uses his Irish roots in all of his cooking and will present on the day.

Tickets start at just £18 for Grandstand Enclosure and £26 for Premier Enclosure when booked in advance.

Turn up in emerald green clothing (which must be half the visible outfit eg shirt or trousers) and £5 will be taken off your entry ticket to the Grandstand enclosure.

Racing is a really social occasion and all group bookings of 12 or more receive a 20% discount, booked in advance. As always, children aged 16 or under go free.
