They own a number of luxurious properties between them, each with plush interiors and hefty price tags.

MailOnline has taken a look at their lavish homes, located from Wimbledon, to Hertfordshire, to Surrey, to London.

‘She’s had a real hand in the makeover and has enjoyed seeing her ideas come to life.

‘It will be a sad day when she moves out but Amanda can take comfort in the number of memories she’s created there.’

Moving: The presenter, 52, put her five-bedroom Surrey 'dream' house on the market last year for £5million

Impressive: The star often posts pictures on Instagram of her beautiful home, which she has been given a fabulous renovation by the star

She lives there with her husband Chris and two daughters Lexi, 17, and Hollie, 11, and frequently shows off the property on social media.

After buying the home, Amanda admitted to ‘badgering’ its former owner to sell it to them for years until they finally relented.

She described the property as her ‘forever home’ but put it on sale seven years after first purchasing it last May. It was then removed from the market in August 2022 before being relisted in March 2023.

The driveway is big enough to hold several cars, which is convenient when Amanda hosts her showbiz parties.

Speaking about her home to House Beautiful, Amanda revealed it was important their Surrey property didn’t feel like ‘a show home’. 

She said: ‘We have two little girls and don’t want them feeling that they’re treading on eggshells.’

Amanda admitted herself and husband Chris have so many clothes, they turned a room into a walk-in wardrobe – inspired by her favourite TV show.

She said: ‘I’m a huge Sex And The City fan and Chris did a Mr Big and turned a whole room into my wardrobe.

‘Except, he didn’t leave a pair of Manolos at the end… but he arranged everything else. It’s something I’ve always dreamt of.

‘There’s a remote-controlled mirror that goes up and down and lights up – it’s amazing.’

And the TV favourite also conceded she’s a clean freak, meaning every service on the ground floor can be wiped fresh.

Speaking to The Mirror, she explained: ‘I am house proud, but I’ve got two kids, two dogs and a cat, so it’s a family house. Everything is washable and wipeable.

‘It’s so open plan my littlest can cycle her bike around. ‘I don’t have carpets on the ground floor – and this is disgusting – but I was doing an interview a while ago and my puppy pooed on the floor during the chat.

‘But you don’t worry if you have wooden floors. Two words: wipe clean.’

Amanda, who designed a homeware range for shopping network QVC, is so into interior design she believes it could eventually become a day job – if she ever loses her looks.

She added: ‘I want this to be a legacy. When my face falls off and all the telly work dries up, this is actually where I want to be.’ 

The couple also own a holiday home in the Cotswolds, which they have been renovating over the past year. 

Alesha Dixon

Alesha Dixon lives in a stunning mansion in Hertforshire, with her husband Azuka Ononye and daughters Azura and Anaya.

The gorgeous property boasts chic furniture, plenty of space for her two children to roam, and a spacious gym that is jam-packed with everything Alesha needs to keep fit. 

Alesha’s state-of-the-art gym is equipped with a plethora of weights of varying heaviness placed on a rack in front of a red bench, while she also has an exercise ball ready to be used.

But that isn’t all, as the TV personality also has an exercise bike and a treadmill that folds away to make room for Alesha to have space for her exercise mat while working out.

During lockdown, Alesha shared a gorgeous snap from a distance that showed off her fresh trimmed grass with a picnic rug set up in the middle. 

The star has opted to keep her decorations simplistic for the outdoor space, as she has a large white bird feeder propped up in the middle of the lawn for any nearby birds.

Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell owns a £18 million home in Wimbledon, that he purchased for £15million in 2019.

The exterior of the grand brick property boasts traditional sash windows, a large black front door and lots of security cameras. 

It was put on the market for £18 million with estate agent Fuller Gilbert following extensive renovations.

However, the seven-bedroom home has failed to sell forcing Simon to rent out the mansion in October last year.

He had been intending to set up home there with fiancée Lauren Silverman, their son Eric and her son Adam from her previous marriage to businessman Andrew Silverman.

But a ‘dummy run’ of the 14-mile trip to his son’s school is said to have taken two hours on one occasion, which is believed to be one of the major factors in him deciding to remain at his current Holland Park residence instead.

‘Simon spent around £1 million tailoring it to meet his and his family’s needs, so he was definitely planning to make it his base in the UK,’ says a source close to Cowell.

‘However, when he realised that London traffic could make the relatively short trip so arduous, he determined it wasn’t the place for him and put it on the market.

‘The fact that nearby Hammersmith Bridge, which closed in 2020 over safety fears, has still not reopened to cars certainly doesn’t help the already congested surrounding roads.’

Although details of how much it costs to rent Simon’ south London house are being kept private, similar properties can easily go for five-figure monthly sums. 

One example is a six-bedroom detached home situated on nearby Murray Road, priced at £13,500 a month.

His Holland Park home was burgled in 2015, when £1 million in jewellery was stolen.

It was also where he injured himself falling down the stairs in October 2017. 

Simon also owns an £18 million oceanside mansion in Malibu and previously had a £19 million home in Los Angeles. 

He purchased the Malibu home in 2017, which features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and sits on a 1.63-acre estate overlooking the ocean.

The property has many lavish features, including a plunge pool and hot tub, a barbecue area and a koi pond, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the space. 

Simon also has a tennis court, however, previous aerial photos showed it being used as an overflow car park.

He moved out of the Los Angeles property in 2020, which he had previously described as his ‘dream home’.

It had six bedrooms and six bathrooms, as well as a private movie theatre, a professional tanning salon and a state-of-the-art gym.

It also boasted a spa complete with steam room and massage tables, a solarium, a lap pool and an outdoor pool cabana with an automatic retractable roof.
