She played model Olivia Radfield on the long-running ITV soap in 2018 and 2019.
On Instagram, the actress shared photos of the impressive Dublin mansion build project she's been tackling.
Arianna captioned: "A little home update... It feels SO surreal to say I have a home?!
"In just a few weeks, we've done the outside render, started to tile the bathrooms and wardrobes are all started.
"SO happy with how smoothly everything has gone so far.
"4 short months and I will be an Irish girly!"
In February 2024, Arianna had shared an Instagram post revealing she was embarking on her "first ever build project".
She launched her multi-million pound Mars The Label brand from her dad's living room in 2015 with just £3,000, money her late mum had left her.

She created the designs herself and now has a huge team working alongside her from her headquarters in Bolton.
Arianna said previously: "We are now an eight figure annual turnover brand, which is honestly wild when you bring it all the way back to starting with less than £3,000 in my dad's living room.
"We've come such a long way, and I've learnt so many lessons.
"I can't even believe it myself to be honest. Sometimes I sit there and look at the sales on the website and can't believe that genuinely it's mine."
Last month, Arianna went Instagram official with her boyfriend after teasing the relationship on social media.
He modelled some of the items from her range but she kept his identity a secret by cropping out his face.
She's now posted a cosy photo with her other half on her Instagram story.
The snap showed him with one arm around her as she snaps a selfie.

Channel 4's The Inheritance start date confirmed and fans don't have long to wait
The Inheritance will see 13 strangers summoned to a grand stately home to compete for part of the fortune left in the will of The Deceased Channel 4 is set to unveil its latest game show sensation The Inheritance, featuring Elizabeth Hurley and Rob Rinder. 13 individuals are drawn to an opulent manor, vying for a slice of wealth bequeathed by The Deceased, a fabulously wealthy character brought to life by Elizabeth Hurley, who has left behind a fortune and a game filled with her own brand of mischief. The challenge of securing the inheritance is steeped in complexity, as The Deceased was known for her playful yet devious nature, crafting a game that demands shrewdness and strategy from the participants. Robert Rinder, donning the hat of Executor and legal advisor, and familiar face from ITV's Good Morning Britain, will enforce the conditions laid out in The Deceased's will. Contestants must band together to fulfil The Deceased's last wishes, tackling a series of taxing tasks designed to probe their integrity, effort, and willingness to engage in cutthroat competition for their rightful share, reports the Daily Star. In a tantalising twist, only one contestant can pocket the cash from each completed task, necessitating a battle of wits to persuade the rest why they alone should walk away with the earnings. The Inheritance promises to be a flamboyant showdown of intelligence, determination, charm, and treachery, where it's not merit that secures the prize but the ability to outmanoeuvre, outcharm, and outwit opponents. Echoing the sentiments of The Deceased: "They say all is fair in love and war, but whoever said that didn't have an inheritance to fight over." The Inheritance is set to kick off on Sunday, August 31 on Channel 4, with a trio of episodes airing weekly and available for streaming on All 4. The premiere episode launches on Sunday, August 31 at 9pm, followed by the second episode on Monday, September 1 at 9pm, and the third on Tuesday, September 2 at 9.30pm. The 12-part game show has been eagerly anticipated since its announcement earlier in the year. Channel 4's Head of Reality and Entertainment, Steve Handley, commented: "The Inheritance isn't just a battle of strategy, alliances, and inevitable betrayals - it's a cocktail of drama, jeopardy, and outright mischief that Reality fans love." Handley also expressed his excitement, saying: "I can't wait to see how our players handle the challenges, the twists, and a few sneaky surprises." The Inheritance on Channel 4, watch or stream from Sunday, August 31 at 9pm

BBC comedian died penniless with body unclaimed for weeks after tragic death
Roy Jay was a British-Norwegian comedian who was a regular on TV screens in the 1980s, but his life took a tragic turn after he was charged with indecent exposure in 1984 A legendary 80s comic passed away penniless with his remains left unclaimed for weeks in a heartbreaking turn of events. Roy Jay was renowned for his prominent BBC slots, featuring on television shows including The Bob Monkhouse Show, The Little and Large Show and The Main Attraction during the peak of his career. However, the British-Norwegian performer endured a devastating conclusion to his life. Troubles began after he faced charges for indecent exposure in 1984, when he pulled down his trousers during a live performance before a family crowd at the Park Club in Jersey. Baby Reindeer star unrecognisable in new BBC drama featuring Coronation Street actor He received a £200 fine - but more damaging still, his reputation suffered a massive hit. Roy discovered himself barred from countless venues nationwide even prior to the indecent exposure conviction. Yet it proved the death knell for his television career. Whilst he succeeded in continuing his stand-up work in his final years, his TV appearances vanished. Ultimately the performer died in Alicante, Spain, in December 2007 aged 59, completely broke. His remains laid unclaimed for a fortnight. His death was reportedly due to alcohol abuse. His funeral, conducted at Villajoyosa Crematorium, required funding from a local Spanish entrepreneur who was also Roy's dear friend. Roy remains fondly recalled for his television appearances and his subsequent work at a Benidorm venue. One admirer commented following his death: "Terrible news about Roy. I never did see him but will remember with fondness his TV work back in the day. RIP Mr Slither." Another fan reminisced: "I did see him in Benidorm in the late 1980s at the Talk of the Coast, which is now the Ambassador Playa. I remember the place was packed and everyone was having a great laugh." A third person agreed: "A very talented but tormented guy who is all but forgotten today." Roy had an interesting start in life, with conflicting reports about his childhood. According to one version, he was born as Roy Jørgensen in Oslo, Norway, to a Norwegian father and a Scottish/Irish mother. At the tender age of four, he moved with his family to South Wales. When he was eight, he spent a year in Cork, Ireland, honing his skills in Irish language and violin, before returning to Wales. The family then relocated to Atherton in Greater Manchester, England, where he attended Hesketh Fletcher High School. At 15, he joined the Royal Norwegian Navy, but later returned to civilian life to sing in a band performing in small Northern clubs and dance halls. He then became Assistant Entertainments Manager at Pontins holiday camp in Southport, where he began his stand-up comedy career. However, another account suggests that Roy Jay was actually born in Uffculme, Devon. In this version, he worked for Pontins in Morecambe during the 1970s and performed as a comedian in Northern clubs, before being a special guest on the 1983 UK tour by Johnny Mathis.

Sheridan Smith breaks down in tears live on This Morning - as Rylan scrambles to grab tissues and comfort her
Sheridan Smith was unable to contain her emotions as she was interviewed on This Morning with the inspirational mother she portrays in the new ITV drama I Fought The Law. The Royle Family actress, 44, appeared visibly close to Teesside mum Ann Ming, whose tireless campaigning saw the law changed and her daughter Julie's murderer brought to justice. The inspirational mum's 15-year campaign to change the Double Jeopardy Law, which prevented her daughter's killer, who was initially acquitted of the offence, from being retried. Ann told hosts Rylan Clarke and Sian Welby that she couldn't imagine anyone but Sheridan stepping into her shoes to tell the story. 'I came on set twice, and she didn't know I was there,' Ann said, surprising Sheridan. 'And I watched her, playing me, in one of the difficult scenes - when we told Kevin the truth. It was like watching me.' The Royle Family actress, 44, appeared visibly close to Teesside mum Ann Ming, whose tireless campaigning saw the law changed and her daughter's murderer brought to justice This prompted Sheridan herself to well up and say: 'All I wanted was Ann to be proud.' Ann continued: 'I don't think they could have got another actress to do it as well. She takes on a role and becomes that person.' The brave mother was heavily involved in the dramatisation of her story and served as a consultant on the four-part series. Ann admitted that she had her reservations about the series when ITV first made contact with her. The show, written by Jamie Crichton, is notably based on Ann's book 'For The Love Of Julie'. Ann said: 'I had a team of lawyers backing me all the way. They didn't think it was a one man band. 'And then they said they were thinking about approaching Sheridan Smith, and I've watched everything she's ever been in. 'I thought they couldn't get anyone better to play me.' The show, written by Jamie Crichton, is notably based on Ann's book about her fight to bring her daughter's murder to justice - 'For The Love of Julie' As the show is based on a real-life story, it will be accompanied by a documentary about Anne herself, I Fought The Law: The Ann Ming Story. Ann's daughter Julie tragically died when she was just 22 in 1989 after being strangled and sexually assaulted by William Dunlop. He proceeded to hide her remains behind a bath panel and was acquitted of the crime twice in the 1990s. However, in 2006, he was finally brought to justice thanks to Ann's tireless determination. While William has applied for parole since being jailed for life with a minimum term of 17 years, his request was blocked by the Secretary of State in March.
