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.

Do we need to read about these rich people and their life style. It is best they are left out of head line news, nit hta I am jealous but there ae things in this world happening round us that needs publicity not this trivia of the well to do. Who cares where they live?

I hope these vile people will pay back the money they owe to those who worked for them. The real victims.
