Good transport links and schools, plus nice neighbours – these are the usual things you have to think about when moving to a new house. But for Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan, it’s what some of the locals are getting up to that might have them questioning their choice of forever home.

The couple bought a £1.3m farmhouse last year, and submitted plans early in 2020 to knock it down and replace it with a sprawling mansion. But recently, it has come to light that the charming Essex location they plan to settle in is a rather popular dogging area.

In recent weeks, enthusiastic doggers – who enjoy watching or engaging in exhibitionist sexual activity in public places – have taken to the internet to express their opinions on the advantages of the area near to where Mark and Michelle have bought their property.
