Alerted by a putrid smell in the new cinema room, Jacqueline asked her fans how they could get rid of the gruesome odour.

‘So how do you get rid of the smell that smells like there’s potentially a dead person living under the floorboards,’ Jacqueline said. ‘Daniel seems to think it’s just a cheese smell.

‘But even if it is a cheese smell, there’s no windows in this room that we’re in, right, and yes the carpets haven’t been cleaned, nothing’s been cleaned yet but the smell is very, very strong.

New kitchen: Asides from the bad smell, Jacqueline was also able to show off the home's stunning new kitchen

 ‘To the point where I’m pretty sure there is a dead person here. But how do we get the smell out?’

Asides from the bad smell, Jacqueline was also able to show off the home’s stunning new kitchen, as well as some vast yet unkempt garden space which she said is also in need of some ‘tender-loving care’. 

The star revealed two additional derelict outhouses on the plot, which she confirmed they would be getting rid of.

‘I can’t really look and I don’t know how long it’s going to take but this is where we’re at with the garden’ she added.

A few days later, Jacqueline revealed her garden had been completely demolished as she panned the camera across the area, where a digger was busy clearing the building site.

She said: ‘This looks better than it did before, it is progress. Don’t actually ask me what’s going but it’s really exciting,’

It was revealed by MailOnline earlier this month that Jacqueline and husband Dan Osborne’s new property has six bedrooms, five en suites and a cinema room – and the luxurious property spans across three floors.

The six-bedroom house boasts a large kitchen and living room, as well as an additional study, fireplace and garden, while Jacqueline and Dan’s room has its own desirable dressing area. 

The detached property was on the market for £1.2 million before the couple bought it.
