OH, EVANS.. IT'S ANTHEA

BIT of a Turner round in the neighbourhood - Anthea's moving into Chris Evans's old gaff.

She and hubby Grant Bovey have snapped up the pile for £5million - securing £1million off the asking price.

The couple have already flogged their lavish Surrey mansion for £10.6million, making an £8.4million profit.

So they'll still trouser £3.4million after downsizing to Radio 2 DJ Chris's four-bedroom home. But they'll have to do without a few luxuries such as a polo field and heli pad.

Last night a source said: "For them it's a come-down, but for most people it's still the stuff of dreams."

Anthea, 48, and Grant, 47, were forced to sell up after the collapse of his £100million property empire and their company Imagine Furnishings. Yet 75 unsecured creditors of the firm are still owed nearly £400,000.

Their new place is part of the 172-acre Hascombe Court estate in Godalming. It has four en suite bathrooms, a home cinema, stables and a three-bedroom guests' cottage.

Chris moved out last year after wedding third wife Natasha Shishmanian, with whom he has a four-month-old son Noah.

Just Don't Forget Your Toothbrush, Chris.
