Late Late Show host Patrick Kielty and wife Cat Deeley have bought an abandoned property in London for nearly £5 million and will count mega stars such as Harry Styles as their neighbours.
The RTE star, who hosts the Late Late in Dublin every Friday night, lives in the UK with TV presenter Cat and their two young sons Milo and James. The couple have chosen a five-bedroom property in north London and plan to "renovate, extend and upgrade" it.
The family previously lived in Los Angeles, but they decided to move back to the UK after Patrick and his eldest son Milo narrowly avoided a public shooting at a mall.

Kielty and Cat also wanted their children to be schooled in the UK and closer to their friends and family. The couple have a big renovation project on their hands which will see the abandoned property they have purchased turned into a super stylish modern home.
Patrick and Cat want a brand new entrance hall, to demolish a living room mezzanine floor and create one big open plan living area. They have also applied for permission to extend the bedrooms by 4ft, to build an external staircase and a new car port, front garden and gate.
When completed, the glamorous home will also have a "nanny suite" guest room, his and hers dressing rooms, a children's play area and its very own bar. Patrick and Cat's architect told The Mail on Sunday: "The proposed external appearance builds on the inherent character of the existing house but updates it into a contemporary dwelling both in use and character.
"It is inspired by mid-twentieth design ranging from the designs of Alvar Aalto to houses of the west coast of America which are familiar to the clients who spent many years living there. Materials have also been introduced that connect the clients to their previous home in LA and to places that have significant memories for them.
"The design remodels a 1950 brick and concrete house with new and rear extensions, extensive internal alterations, adjustments to the blade roof form to bring natural light into the heart of the house."
