A 90s pop star has been looking for a new home in Wiltshire on the BBC’s Celebrity Escape to the Country.
Chesney Hawkes, whose best-known single The One and Only topped the UK singles chart for five weeks in 1991, recently appeared on the celebrity edition of the popular house-hunting show.
The singer and Celebrity Big Brother star and his wife Kristina were looking to swap Surrey for the Cotswolds and enlisted the help of presenter Jules Hudson to find their dream home in the countryside.
They were equipped with a budget of £1.3 million and headed to Wiltshire in search of the perfect house, viewing a former pub and skittle alley in Ashton Keynes, a village near Cirencester.

This was followed by a trip to Sevenhampton in Gloucestershire, where the show’s largest-ever mystery house, a 17th-century manor, was located.
The couple also viewed properties at Edge and Chalford Hill in Gloucestershire.
Despite enjoying their tour of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, the couple did not make an offer for any of the homes on show.
Kristina said: “I think we are still going to be potentially looking around but what you have definitely shown us is that the Cotswolds is very, very lovely.”
