Her six-bedroom property, which she and her husband Dan Baldwin bought in 2011, has a huge tower dating back to the 1800s in the middle of the roof, likening it to a castle. The couple have added a flag and flagpole to the tower, which previously had a Union Jack flying from it. Neighbours were said to have complained about the patriotic display.
