Adam Rickitt and GMB host wife Katy's new life in Sicily as the couple fulfil 'life long dream' of buying holiday home on Mediterranean island
Adam Rickitt and his wife Katy recently revealed they had fulfilled a 'life long dream' of buying their 'home from home' in Sicily. The couple, both 47, own and run a craft beer and artisan gin bar called Dexter and Jones in their town of Knutsford - where they live with their two dogs. But Katy recently revealed the couple - who regularly holiday in Sicily - were hoping to make the Mediterranean island a bigger part of their lives and hinted at a possible opportunity to grow their business there. And last week, the couple made their dream a reality as they announced they had officially bought a holiday home there. The former Coronation Street actor and GMB host couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces as they topped up their tans and enjoyed a night out on the island after signing papers to take ownership of the property. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Announcing the news, Katy, who wed Adam in 2014, wrote: 'Arghhhh! What the hell just happened. We are giddy with excitement! 'After a ceremony much like a signing of the wedding register we are the proud owners of a tiny slice of heaven in the island we've come to know as the Happy Place: ortigia! 'After years of obsessively binge watching @aplaceinthesunofficial I still never thought I'd be lucky enough to do this, and maybe we are actually crazy as we've remortgaged our own house to do so! 'But we came to the conclusion that life is too short and being able to save up the date nights and escape here when life gives you a breather rather than having to always plan ahead just felt like the ultimate dream … and worth accepting that the bulldogs will always own the only sofa at home for. 'We will give you all a proper tour very soon but for now we are off to go and shop for paint and hoovers in the sunshine!! How crazy is that?!!! Oh yeah and apparently we are now PART ORTIGIAN!! I may burst.' Adam was well and truly in a party mood as he downed a bottle of champagne, before work started on the home the following day. He captioned the post: 'We did a thing!! It's been a lifelong dream to have a Sicilian not not a it is ours!!!' Before adding: 'Welcome to the next chapter @katyrickitt ...x'. The couple have since given fans a glimpse into their new lives, recently sharing a tour of their stunning new apartment. The gorgeous Sicilian abode features natural cream stone walls and built-in seating areas, with a cute outdoor terrace. A quirky little bathroom have three separate mirrors at different heights, which Katy were for 'checking your boobs, your bum and your face'. Showing off their favourite part of the house, the couple took viewers through to the kitchen-dining area, which features a stoned cooking bench and 1920s style built in cinema seats. Heading up stairs there is a big picture of Al Pacino's Scar Face movie poster on the wall as the clip takes you up to the mezzanine-style bedroom. The gorgeous bed is built into the stone walls and there is an open wardrobe displaying Katy's bright dresses. One of the couple's favourite things was a purchase they made at a local supermarket of old wooden wine boxes which they keep by their bed on display to house their small belongings. And Adam was sure to tell fans about his plans for the property, revealing he had already done a big sealing and painting job to clean up the natural stone and speaking about where he was going to install a wine cellar.

'Feeling very lucky today… we loved our little Italian gem ortigia so much back in November that we're off again! 'This time to meet some amazing suppliers for @dexterandjones and pursue a wee pipe dream that may remain just that but you never know till you try. Adam was known for playing Nick Tilsley in Coronation Street, however since leaving the soap he has opened his craft beer bottle shop in Cheshire. Adam opened Dexter and Jones, in Knutsford with his GMB presenter wife, Katy, with the establishment specialising in craft beer, artisan gins and fine wines. The duo offer more than 800 different Craft Beers, 10 Draft Beers (which are ever changing), more than 300 small batch Gins and more than 200 different Wines. Their mission is always to offer the best beverages you won't find elsewhere, and they recently launched a very unusual Battenburg flavoured stout and Eton Mess sour. Adam starred in Coronation Street as Gail Tilsley's son Nick from 1997 to 1999 and then again in 2004 before appearing as Nancy Osborne's fiance Kyle Kelly in Hollyoaks from 2017 until 2020. After departing Corrie the first time, Adam set himself on the path of a solo singing career. I Breathe Again was Adam's debut track and it reached number five in the UK charts, selling 76,500 copies. But after his album only managed to reach number 41 he was unceremoniously dropped by his record label.

The underrated Swiss lake town that's like Como without the crowds
On the northern shore of Lake Maggiore, where Italy rolls into Switzerland, life is beautiful. The skies are blue, the air is clean and the pace is so slow, it's practically horizontal. A hidden jewel of this region is Ascona, a sun-kissed settlement of palms and piazzas, with a landscape every bit as breathtaking as it is in Como, its flashy Italian neighbour. Nestled between alpine peaks and shimmering water, Switzerland's lowest lying town has winding cobbled streets, colourful lakeside cafés and a subtropical climate that gives it real Mediterranean flair. But apart from a few linen-clad retirees, this pastel-hued enclave remains largely untapped by tourists. Even in high season, there's no fighting for sunbeds here. Eight years ago, I spent a few months working in Lugano, a grandiose Swiss resort less than an hour from Ascona. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. On weekends, I explored many of the surrounding villages, but I never made it to the village known as the 'jewel of Lake Maggiore'. Neither, it seems, do the vast majority of tourists. The town has no railway station, so anyone without a car arrives into neighbouring Locarno. From there, a bus or taxi will take you past golden fields to Ascona in less than 15 minutes. When I visit in late May, I have no trouble getting a table at any of the waterfront restaurants. Ferries are only half full, and the pedestrianised promenade is quiet without being sleepy. Glittering yachts bob on gentle waves and speedboats zip across the marina. It's elegant, alluring, and there's not a tour guide's umbrella in sight. One hour south of the border in Como, the picture is different. Over the past decade, the idyllic lake town has been engulfed by tourism. As many as 1.4 million visitors descend on its glitzy shores each year, and the overwhelming hordes have sparked calls for a Venice-style tourist tax. It's difficult to put a figure on how many people visit Ascona each year, but estimates suggest it sees as little as 20,000 in the busiest summer period. While Como is fighting tourism, Ascona is hungry for it. Ascona is magnificent, but it's not cheap. An estimated 40 of the town's 5,000 residents are millionaires, and it has price tags to match. A pint of local beer costs around £8, while a main course at a mid-range restaurant will set you back anywhere from £18 to £36 — before you've had a drink. But, as the saying goes, here, the best things are free. At least half a day should be devoted to exploring Ascona on foot, strolling the esplanade that hugs the lake and the hillside Old Town, which has both medieval and Renaissance history. An artisan market runs daily in summer (free samples guaranteed), and narrow alleyways conceal glamorous boutiques that are great for window shopping. For a budget-friendly treat, try the £5 cantucci (almond cookies) from Pasticceria Pinotti, or a scoop of sorbet from one of the quaint gelaterias. On the edge of town is a lido and a free public beach, where families picnic and cool off in glacial water so pristine, you can see the minnows nipping at your toes. The Ticino region is so genuinely breathtaking, you'll want to spend every waking minute outside, and the best views don't cost a penny. Towering above Ascona is Monte Verità (the Hill of Truth), a spiritual refuge where hippies and alternative communities have flocked for decades. Just a 15-minute walk from the centre of town, it's an excellent perch to watch sunset over the lake. Experienced hikers can climb the more challenging 6km trail to the prehistoric Castelliere ruins. The reward is a spectacular panorama that stretches as far as Italy. Ascona may be small, but each summer, it's the unlikely home of one of the largest jazz festivals in Europe. Now in its 40th year, Jazz Ascona celebrates all things New Orleans (Ascona's sister city). The festival runs from 26 June to 5 July, with over 200 free concerts of jazz, blues, swing and gospel injecting soul into the town. Hotel prices rocket in and around the event, so staying across the border in Italian resorts such as Verbania and Stresa is a good idea. Save Vista Lakefront Boutique is a budget hotel in a prime location. Set in the heart of the Old Town 30 metres from the lake, it has single rooms from £116 and doubles from £170, breakfast included. Splash A five-minute stroll along the water's edge from the Old Town is the ultra-luxurious Hotel Eden Roc. Hidden behind sunshine-coloured walls and terracotta flower pots, it's the only five-star on the shore of Maggiore, and the location is only eclipsed by the impeccable service. Double rooms from £475, with a fabulous breakfast included. One activity well worth paying for is a trip to the tiny Brissago Islands, home to a show-stopping botanical garden where 1,700 exotic species including lotus blossoms and even eucalyptus trees flourish. In its heyday, the larger inhabited island, Isola Grande, attracted creatives from around the world, including legendary Irish writer, James Joyce. After wandering the gardens, refuel with affogato or an Aperol Spritz on the terrace of the stately Villa Emden, before the boat takes you back to the mainland. The direct ferry takes 20 minutes and a round-trip costs around £20, plus £9 entry to the islands; I recommend spending at least three hours there. If you're keen to go further, Switzerland's world-famous public transport system makes city-hopping a breeze. Here, even the most remote villages are connected by a well-oiled network of buses, trains, boats and cable cars. From Ascona, a 10-minute drive to Locarno opens a world of possibilities. This is where you'll find the start of the Centovalli Railway, a panoramic route through an unspoiled, verdant valley. Trains run direct from Locarno to Lugano and Zurich, with stress-free connections to Geneva and Switzerland's federal city, Bern. For many of these routes, you don't even need to change platforms — simply hop off one train and wait for the next to roll up. If you want to save money and nab a good seat, it's worth planning ahead. Fares booked in advance are considerably, and it always pays to book online through the SBB transport app rather than at the station. More Trending The Swiss Travel Pass is pricey, but it's a good investment for anyone who plans to be on the move a lot. This gets you unlimited journeys on buses, trains and boats, plus free admission to more than 500 museums and some decent mountain excursions. The pass can be purchased for periods from three to 15 days, and the cheapest will set you back £220. Getting to Ascona from the UK initially sounds daunting, but it's surprisingly straightforward. The cheapest option is to fly to Italy into Milan Malpensa, which has direct routes from most of the UK's major airports (London Gatwick, Stansted and City, plus Manchester, Edinburgh and Birmingham). From Malpensa Terminal 1, trains run hourly across the border to Lugano. Change here for the train to Locarno, which arrives on the same platform. You can reach Ascona in approximately 10 minutes by taxi. Day 1 Explore the town, starting on the lakeside promenade. Markets are helddaily, with stalls selling everything from soap to handmade jewellery. Catch the ferry to the Brissago Islands. Allow two hours to explore the gardens and refuel with pasta and an Aperol Spritz on the terrace at Villa Emden. Swim and relax at the lido or on the public beach. For something swankier, pay to enter Crusoe, a private beach with boho sun loungers and hammocks. Dinner at Restaurant Eden Roc, followed by a cocktail in the hotel piano bar where there is nightly live music in summer. Day 2 Rent e-bikes and follow one of the many trails around the area. A good choice for beginners is the path to Locarno, Switzerland's 'film town'. Stop for coffee at Muyu in Locarno, then head back for pastries at Pasticceria Pinotti in Ascona, known for its range of indulgent panettone. Hike to the Castelliere Ruins for sunset. Moderate difficulty, a walk of just over four miles. Dinner at Locanda Barbarossa at Hotel Castello del Sole, which recently received its first Michelin star. End the night with a glass of wine at Sea Lounge in the Seven Hotel, right on the waterfront.
