Frasier star Kelsey Grammer buys a house in Britain – but it’s not where you might expect
FRASIER star Kelsey Grammer has bought a house — near Bristol.
The actor, 67, spoke of his fondness for the town of Portishead in the cider-loving county of Somerset during a BBC radio chat.
His wife Kayte, who he married in 2011, is the daughter of former Bristol City footballer and Bristol Rovers coach Alan Walsh.
Kelsey, soon to revive his classic sitcom about the pompous psychiatrist, said: “I love the people in Portishead and I love my time there.
“It’s a good spot — we’ve actually bought a house there.
“We bought a little place we’re going to be working on.

"We won’t be taking up residence for a while but, yeah, we’re pretty excited about it.
“We have a little view of Wales from the channel there.”
The actor has been seen regularly in Portishead — which gave its name to the 1990s band — usually while visiting Kayte’s family.
He said he also enjoyed visits to Bristol, often heading for an Indian meal — but was snapped yawning at a Bristol Rovers game in the 2013-14 season.
