im organising a whipround


It is no secret that the Boveys have suffered a financial freefall over the past two years and have had to reign in their lavish lifestyle. The polo horses have gone, as have the yacht, tennis court, swimming pool and grand summer charity parties.

good job she bought the house int it....


Not that the couple, married for ten years next August, are exactly on skid row. Yes, Grant is, in his eyes at least, broke. But, as he is anxious to point out, this has nothing to do with Anthea. Indeed, she is completely solvent, having never been a director in her husband's companies. It is why they are still able to live, in some style, in a £6million Surrey home she bought from radio presenter Chris Evans last summer after they were forced to sell their £10million Surrey estate, Barbins Grange. It does have a mortgage, she says.

    Hate the pair of them...sorry, just do.

    It's a shame they won't lose their house and be forced to live on a rough estate with a load of chavs.

    shame Anthea's "perfect housewife" show in grantham has been cancelled as well...due to poor sales in tickets (only 2 people so far!)

    How long do they think they can ride on Anthea's "success"? Downgrading from a £10 million house to a £6 millon pound house isnt that big a drop!
