Amanda Holden shares picturesque Corfu home that starred in iconic ITV series
Amanda Holden has showcased a stunning Greek home that once featured in a popular ITV drama. Nestled on the coastline of Corfu, this villa can accommodate up to 10 guests and is ideal for a summer holiday in Europe.
Posting to her Instagram Story yesterday, Amanda revealed just how much she and her daughter, Hollie, also nicknamed 'HRH', loved the show it featured in. "If you know you know," she wrote on Sunday.
"The Durrells... @ionianestates." The TV star also added: "Me and #HRH were big fans of The Durrells. TV show." Airing from 2016 to 2019, The Durrells was a popular ITV comedy-drama about a British family adjusting to life on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
It's loosely based on a true story, following Gerald Durrells' Corfu Trilogy, with the ITV series primarily filmed in the village of Danilia. It starred an array of famous faces, including Keeley Hawes as Louisa Durrell.
Earlier this month, luxury holiday estate agent Ionian Estates also revealed several picturesque photographs of the property in an Instagram carousel. Its spokespeople said the home has five bedrooms and a private pool, offering a 'perfect spot to unwind'.
The post read: "Sleeping up to 10 guests and situated right on the seafront, this five-bedroom villa with private pool is the perfect spot to unwind, explore and soak up the laid-back rhythm of Corfu life."
It is currently unclear how much it costs to spend a night at The Durrell property, but Ionian Estates has been approached for further information.
Amanda's post also comes just months after she revealed that her family were selling a £895,000 property on Rightmove. The 'true rural gem' - which is still up for grabs - is situated in Hersham, a hamlet south of Kilkhampton in Cornwall.
The TV star's parents confessed they are giving it up 'begrudgingly' to be nearer family and friends. Commenting on a Rightmove advert, they said it's just a five-minute drive from stunning sandy beaches and go-to spots like Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor.
"We are sad to leave this lovely home we have lived in for over 22 years," Amanda's family said, according to the Mirror. "We will miss the early morning bird song and the gorgeous vistas and spectacular sunsets from different viewpoints throughout our gardens.
"We have had many wonderful memories of barbecues in the garden with family and friends. Unfortunately age has caught up with us and begrudgingly we feel the time has come to downsize and be nearer to family.
"We will miss our wonderful house and all our neighbours (95% of which are still here). It is so peaceful and quiet and very private and although in a country lane only five mins car ride away from amenities and the wonderful sandy beaches."
The Cornwall property is currently listed at £895,000 on Rightmove. For more information, visit its website or contact Fine and Country Bude.

Tourists face big fines or criminal record for having common item in holiday hotspots
More than 550,000 people in the UK use the item regularly Holiday-makers jetting off abroad have been urged to get clued up on the local rules at their chosen getaway spot. If you carry what appears to be an innocent everyday item, you could land a fine or another criminal penalty. Travellers who depend on nicotine pouches must exercise extreme caution when visiting France or certain other EU countries in the coming months, as the nation has banned the product completely, including for personal consumption. Nicotine pouch maker KLAR has sounded the alarm that with British users topping 590,000 and climbing, families must stay alert. Both Germany and the Netherlands have also introduced total prohibitions on nicotine pouches. Local legislation can change quickly, making it crucial to check official government advice and relevant embassy websites before departure. The firm warned that being caught with the pouches could result in "fines, confiscation, or even criminal penalties". For those intending to travel with nicotine pouches, KLAR's chief risk reduction officer Tomas Hammargren shared some guidance. He recommended keeping pouches in their original packaging to help border officials quickly see what you have with you, which should hopefully speed up the inspection procedure. Another recommendation is to assess whether your particular product is appropriate for air travel. One advantage of nicotine pouches like KLAR is their absence of liquids or batteries, meaning they are secure for both hand luggage and hold luggage, without risk of spillages or battery-related problems. You should also check the airline's policies regarding when you can use the product. Nicotine pouches are frequently allowed while vaping typically isn't. You can check with the cabin crew about this before departure. It's equally crucial to plan ahead concerning the amount you take with you. Many countries will have restricted or no availability of nicotine alternatives to cigarettes, so it's wise to pack sufficient supplies with you. Travel experts at the Post Office have also recently recommended people check whether they need to renew their passport before travelling. Richard Fleetwood, postmaster at Town Centre Washington Post Office, warned that in his experience many families are oblivious to the rules about passport validity and the particular requirements that apply in their destination country. He said: "My top tip to all travellers is simple - plan ahead. Be sure to check your passport's expiry date and validity before booking your trip and make sure to always review the travel rules for your destination. "Staying on top of your passport expiry date can save you a lot of stress and disappointment when the trip does arrive. We would recommend that people check their passport and visit their local Post Office early if they need a new passport." Those heading to any Schengen zone countries, including EU destinations, must have a passport that was issued within the past 10 years, and it needs to have at least three months' validity from your departure date.

Lorraine Kelly 'makes decision on ITV future' amid channel's brutal jobs bloodbath
Lorraine Kelly has presented her eponymous show on ITV since 2010, and celebrated her 40th year in television last year with a special episode of the morning programme Lorraine Kelly will leave ITV when her contract ends next year, a source has claimed. The broadcaster, 65, was furious when ITV earlier this year announced her programme will only run for 30 weeks of the year in 2026, cut from the full 52. Her show will be cut in half and will run from 9.30am until 10am from January too, changes about which Lorraine expressed her frustration in May. But now it appears the Scottish presenter has decided to leave the channel when her contract ends next year. A consultation period, which will determine who will be the victims of ITV's brutal financial cuts, is currently underway and, though her role appears safe, Lorraine is understood to be ready to call it a day after hosting her eponymous show for 15 years. The bloodbath may, though, affect Lorraine's current popular stand-ins Christine Lampard and Ranvir Singh, as the hosts may see their appearances fronting the show slashed. A source told Mail Online today: "Lorraine sees it as the end. She's got a year left on her contract which she will honour, but beyond that there are no plans for her to stay. She will be leaving. "Of course, she will be fine, she has loads of money. But some of the people who work for her have done so for many years and have put up with her demands for a long, long time. Yet they will struggle to ever get another job in the television industry." Lorraine, originally from Glasgow, celebrated her 40th year in television last year with a special episode of the morning programme, which follows Good Morning Britain in ITV's line-up. Production staff on these shows, in addition to further ITV daytime programming, are being impacted hugely by the changes, it is believed. And one employee called the situation "horrendous," claiming "the little people" at the west London-based broadcaster were suffering. They told Mail Online: "All the big names are staying while the little people get the boot. It is horrendous. You'd think if you wanted to save a big lump of cash you could get rid of some of the presenters. There are loads of them!" But among those presenters retaining their jobs is Richard Madeley, itr is understood. The veteran broadcaster will continue to front Good Morning Britain for a further six months at least after penning a new, short-term contract recently. Madeley, originally from Romford, east London, frequently presents Good Morning Britain with Susanna Reid, whose position is also said to be safe.
