Charlotte Church ‘IT’S BEEN ONE HELL OF A RIDE!’

Is on Really and Discovery+

The singing star returns with an update on her renovation… Back in March 2021, Charlotte Church bought Rhydoldog, a £1.5 million mansion in the stunning Elan Valley in Powys.

The plan was to transform the 15th-century property into a wellness retreat, but it was a wreck…

The first series of Charlotte Church’s Dream Build followed the star as she embarked on the daunting makeover and there’s still a lot of work to do when the series returns for a new eight-part run.

With just four months to go before the grand opening, there are seven bedrooms to finish, the entire ground floor to tackle and a to-do list that keeps getting longer…

‘The last time you saw me, I was way behind schedule,’ says

Charlotte. ‘So the new series sees us do 10 times the work to try and get it finished. It’s a massive project!’

Once again, Charlotte’s builder dad, James, is on hand to lend his wisdom and expertise, and we get a glimpse into the star’s home life with husband Jonny and kids Dexter, Ruby and Frida, as she juggles the stressful renovation with the demands of being a mum.

‘It’s been one hell of a ride!’ says Charlotte. ‘I’ve had to turn my hand to a million different things. One of the things that it has really taught me is that we all need to figure out how to have a much healthier work-life balance!’ ✣ Charlotte Church’s Dream Build
