Coronation Street star turned millionaire bikini boss shows off HUGE mansion she built herself

A CORONATION Street star turned millionaire bikini boss showed off the huge mansion she built herself.

Arianna said she is “so happy how smoothly everything has gone”[/caption]

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!”

One follower commented: “Beautiful… well done & well deserved. x”

Another added: “You really did that!!!!”

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.

We’re trapped in Dublin council house from hell – everything is destroyed and I’ve crushing fear for my 2 kids

A DESPERATE mum who says her two young kids are “constantly sick” due to extreme damp and persistent mould has demanded that her council condemn the property.

Katie Byrne, who lives in a maisonette in Sallynoggin, south Dublin, said her house has been left “completely empty” after she was forced to chuck out pots, clothes and furniture “destroyed” by the horrendous conditions.

The relentless mould has crept onto the family’s clothes, mattresses, couches and other personal items

The mum-of-two, who previously worked as a cleaner, scrubs the house daily, constantly opens windows to air the property out and even forked out cash for a tumble dryer – but the mould continues to creep through the home.

She told The Irish Sun: “I’ve been a great tenant. My house was stunning.

“But it’s completely empty now because of all the stuff that has been destroyed by the damp and the mould.

“My pots are mouldy. We had to throw stuff out. If you had to throw stuff out that you’ve brought in [the council] says they’re sorry.

“And this is the argument that I have with them on a daily basis. It’s very frustrating. And it’s very degrading.”

Katie told how both her health and the health of her five-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter has suffered greatly after years of living in damp conditions.

Her daughter has suffered from 14 perforated eardrums within the past two years – including three over the Easter break alone.

Katie’s son, who is currently being assessed for autism, is a chronic asthmatic.

The doting mum said: “My son was born into the house. I know for a fact that if we weren’t living in that house, he wouldn’t be asthmatic.”

Katie herself was recently admitted into hospital with double pneumonia, adding: “There’s costs to all of this.”

The US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention says recent studies have suggested mould exposure could lead to the development of asthma in some children.

A number of reports outlining the conditions in the home have been made to Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.

The HSE’s multi-disciplinary team working with Katie’s son wrote to the council, citing mould and damp, anti-social behaviour, fire safety concerns and rats as difficulties facing the family in their current home.

Katie added: “I have an anxiety disorder and I suffer terrible with depression and a report was sent down to the council. It was just put on my file, it wasn’t read or anything. 

“My son attends Le Chéile Mentoring in Dún Laoghaire and there was another report sent down for him, because he is the process of being assessed for autism. 

“My daughter’s school also said how much it has been impacting her education. But there’s still nothing [from the council], not even a phone call to say the paperwork has been acknowledged.”

Beds have had to be replaced. Sofas have had to be replaced. I’ve had to replace some of these things so my grandchildren have beds. Even plates have had to be replaced.”

Louise Byrne, Katie's mum

Katie said the conditions of the home are having a “huge impact” on her family, adding that she had to leave her job due to the amount of sick days she was forced to take for herself and the kids.

She told us: “It’s just a huge worry, and on my mother and my sister.

“They’re constantly coming up, they’re constantly asking me to come down and stay with them. Because it’s too much on us. And with the kids as well, there’s no room to play.

“They can’t have friends over. I’m too embarrassed to have anyone in my house.

“And I’ve tried everything, I’ve went to the papers, I’ve been on radio, I’ve been on RTE News and nothing’s coming back.

“They’ve openly admitted that they’re substandard houses.”

Katie added: “Our kids can’t fight. They’re on the edge. We have to fight for our children. I don’t care if I was left there on my own with my partner. But my kids are being affected by this.

“It’s constant crying to me, day in, day out. ‘Mam, this isn’t fair. Why can’t such and such have a sleepover tonight?’

“Because I don’t want them in my house. It’s mouldy. I don’t want to make another child sick.

“You just want a home. It’s impacting my mental health so badly.”

WHAT EFFECT CAN MOULD HAVE ON HEALTH?

WHEN it manifests, damp is dangerous for our health.

It can cause respiratory illnesses, allergies and asthma as the fungus spores are released in their thousands into the atmosphere.

Common ailments are sneezing, a runny nose, red eyes and skin rashes, but moulds can also affect the immune system and trigger more serious problems.

At first, mould toxins may not cause any harm at low levels. But if they are consistently in the air, it starts to cause side effects.

People who live in homes with mould are more likely to:

  • Have respiratory problems
  • Respiratory infections
  • Allergies
  • Asthma, including asthma attacks
  • Problems with the immune system

Babies and young children are at particular risk of health effects from mould.

Those with respiratory conditions, such as asthma and certain allergies, tend to be worse affected, as are people with skin conditions, such as atopic eczema, and those with weakened immune systems.

A solicitor who wanted to take the case on had gotten in contact with Katie and sent a private engineer down to her property in the hopes of bringing the issue to court.

But Katie said there has been “no contact whatsoever” since the the engineering report was sent down by the solicitor and served to the council.

Katie first moved into the then “freshly painted” pad on Pearse Street seven years ago, but the problem didn’t show up until around one year after she became a tenant.

The furious mum told how the kitchen is just one of the areas being affected

She explained: “It started off in the big room down at the bottom of the room at the floor.

“And then we started to notice it in the hall. It was coming in around the doorway.

“It was in the kitchen presses then, there were mushrooms in the bathroom. It was just everywhere.”

Katie said there also issues when she’s boiling food.

‘NO ACCOUNTABILITY FROM COUNCIL’

She explained: “My kitchen is a scullery. Very, very small. The council put in an extractor fan. The extractor fan doesn’t work.

“So, when I’m cooking things that boil, the condensation runs down the walls into the plug sockets. A few months ago a plug socket blew on the wall and left scorch marks.

“And this was the reason why they brought up the extractor fan – but the extractor fan doesn’t work.”

Katie said there will be “long-lasting effects” of the conditions, adding that she’s worried – even if she does get moved by the council – that her two children or herself may have some sort of lung disease as a result of the mould.

She added: “There’s no accountability from the council. You’re getting passed from pillar to post all the time.

“If I ring Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Council I’ll be on to maintenance and they’ll say, ‘oh it’s not our issue, we’ll pass you on to allocation. It’s not our issue, we’ll pass you on to rent’.

“There’s no actual person that will sit down and talk to you and say, right Katie, this is the plan going forward.

“They won’t do anything about the situation of families living in the maisonette flats.”

PAYMENT PAIN

Katie has fallen into around €1,000 of rent arrears with the council and is paying extra back each week in an effort to catch up – adding that she has been told there will be no offer of alternative accommodation until she has paid it back.

But her worried mum blasted the council for not waiving the arrears, telling how Katie has spent thousands fighting the mould in her house.

Louise Byrne said: “It’s an ultimatum type of thing, which is ridiculous.

“She has got about a thousand euro or thereabouts in rent arrears and, where I’m coming from is she’s thrown more of that out because of the state of the house that she’s living in.

“Beds have had to be replaced. Sofas have had to be replaced. I’ve had to replace some of these things so my grandchildren have beds. Even plates have had to be replaced.

“I want those arrears waived because she wouldn’t even be in those arrears if she didn’t have to replace furniture.”

PROTEST ACTION

Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council said it is currently progressing a redevelopment plan for the affected properties.  

A spokesperson said: “Whilst we are at an early stage in this process, we are engaging with individual tenants where issues have arisen in their properties with a view to arranging transfers where necessary.

“Inspections have been carried out on properties and offers of alternative accommodation have been made to some of the tenants. 

“Discussions have also taken place with some tenants around the eligibility for transfer.”

Katie has not been offered alternative accommodation and, when asked, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council said offers are not made to tenants who are in arrears – no matter the circumstances.

A spokesperson said: “As per our Housing Allocations Scheme 2021, tenants with arrears are not eligible for transfer.”

The Community Action Tenants Union will hold a public meeting at the green on Pearse Park in Sallynoggin on June 28 at midday to plan a campaign to fight for better conditions in the area.

A protest planned by the CATU will take place on July 7 outside the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council offices.

Katie has urged everyone in Sallynoggin and its surrounding areas to “come together” to demand for change and protest, adding: “The bigger the better”.

I’m supremely confident my big Royal Ascot tip on Friday will be far too good for his rivals

OUT of the shadows and into the limelight — that’s what I’m expecting for last season’s champion juvenile at Ascot on Friday.

We’ve made it to Day Four of the Royal meeting, and SHADOW OF LIGHT (3.05) — last season’s Group 1 Middle Park and Dewhurst hero — drops back in trip for the Commonwealth Cup.

Is Shadow Of Light a bit of a good thing in what would normally be a hugely competitive Commonwealth?[/caption]

Like many, I suspect he will take all the beating after his comeback third to stable companion Ruling Court and Field Of Gold in the 2,000 Guineas.

Shadow Of Light might well have won that race if he had been delivered a little later, but whatever the case, the drop to 6f should be exactly what he will enjoy and I just think he will be far too good.

I’m happy with stall 19, so come on, William Buick.

GOLD DIGGER (2.30) can get the day off to a flyer in the Albany Stakes.

She looked special on debut at Yarmouth and it would be a famous winner here for Phil Cunningham and Richard Spencer.

I was there that day, and many thought Awaken would take all the beating for George Boughey.

She ran well, but was no match for Gold Digger, a Starman offspring who cost 260,000gns at the Craven Breeze-Up sale.

She stays well and will be well suited to a Jamie Spencer special from off the pace. Stall 14 should not be an issue.

ETHICAL DIAMOND (3.40) was fourth in the Duke Of Edinburgh last year when the 7-4 favourite.

But he was out in stall 18 that day and get a much handier box in stall seven this time.

The Willie Mullins challenger will hopefully be a stronger horse this time as he just weakened late on in 2024 and I suspect he will take all the stopping under Ryan Moore.

He was a fine fourth at Cheltenham in the County Hurdle.

For many the big one of the day is the Group 1 Coronation Stakes.

We get the chance to see what might be a monster in FALAKEYAH (4.20) and her draw (stall two) has worked in her favour.

Owen Burrows was considering the French Oaks after her demolition job in the Pretty Polly but also the Irish 1,000 Guineas.

I’m pretty sure she has the speed for this test.

She should be improving all the time as had only been to Wolverhampton prior to her Newmarket victory.

She looks an absolute tank. Jim Crowley takes the mount.

NEVER LET GO (5.00) is the one for me in the Sandringham.

A strong gallop will be ideal for her and she has plenty of experience for Ed Walker.

Many in this race are stepping up in trip, but Never Let Go drops in distance and looks sure to be suited by a proper gallop.

Kieran Shoemark would not usually want to get down to a weight of 8st10lbs every day but he might just be rewarded here for making the effort.

She’s up in the handicap for a Listed third when last seen but as a lightly-raced animal I’m not too fussed about that. An each-way wager.

Amiloc could easily win the King Edwards VII Stakes – also known as the Ascot Derby.

But ZAHRANN (5.35) might just be one of the best Johnny Murtagh has trained in his career.

The Aga Khan-owned colt and son of Night of Thunder was impressive in Listed company at Leopardstown last time and stayed this trip very well.

He was well backed and it looked as though the stable knew he’s classy. I’ll chance him each-way.

The day closes with JORGE ALVARES (6.10) in the Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap.

A lot of very fast horses here and I suspect something will come flying through late.

He could be the one each-way for Colin Keane and Ger Lyons.

The gelding has plenty of experience and ran really well when last seen at Curragh staying on strongly having been close to the pace.

He’s up 1lb here but that shouldn’t make any difference and he’s raced up to seven furlongs so that bit of stamina could be useful.

Good luck one and all. Yeeehaaa!

Dad of Chelsee Healey’s baby daughter is jailed for role in ‘wholesale’ drug-dealing operation

THE dad of Chelsee Healey’s baby daughter has been jailed for his role in a “wholesale” drug-dealing operation.

Eddie Rainford, who shares daughter Cookie with the Hollyoaks star, supplied large quantities of cannabis with co-accused Jay Boyd.

Chelsee had previously gone to court for the case[/caption]

The 32-year-old was today jailed for 24 months after he pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug between November 2022 and September 2023.

Chelsee had gone to Manchester Crown Court on Monday to watch Rainford’s sentencing but the case was adjourned.

Rainford’s plea came just days after Chelsee was eliminated from Dancing on Ice.

The Waterloo Road star had hinted that she was struggling following her exit from the hit ITV show.

She said: “There has been a lot going on with me that I have been struggling with.”

An insider also told The Sun the pair were no longer in a relationship.

The court heard how ex-Royal Marine commando Rainford and Boyd, 28, had “headed” an OCG (Organised Crime Gang) that dealt “multi-kilos” of cannabis.

Gwen Henshaw, prosecuting, described it as “boutique” operation that involved selling various varieties of the drug, including “Cali weed”, “Oreo Cookies” and “Orange Cake”.

Chelsee had kept Rainford’s identity a secret when they began dating in 2021.

His first name was revealed following Cookie’s birth in December 2023 when he was seen in the background of photos from their baby shower.

Chelsee, who has another daughter Coco, previously told how their relationship was the “most supportive” she had ever been in.

She added: “My friends and family love him, and he’s the first bloke I’ve introduced Coco to, which says a lot. I knew he was ‘The One’ within three to four months.

“I’ve kissed a few frogs, but he’s definitely marriage material.”

In April, Chelsee returned to her role of Goldie McQueen in Hollyoaks after taking an extended break.
