And in the first post a sweaty Mark can be seen hard at work ripping tiles off a roof.

Another post shows the inspiration behind the Essex property, with Georgian architecture very much their favoured style.

Mark shared a video of the previous house on the site being demolished and explained the reason for the new account.

He wrote: "Part of my life I don’t always share is my property development.

"A hobby and side hustle that I love but last July me and  started building our dream home... we debated sharing our journey & after a lot of thought we decided we wanted to bring you along with us!"

The former Towie star was on site today as a tonne of stone for the house's facade was delivered.

His dad Mark Sr was around to lend a helping hand, and Mark said: "The house is really moving on now here comes the final stone work, all the last kind of finishes."

Today we revealed Mark and Michelle have sold their former luxury five-bedroom home.

Sources close to the couple said Mark, 34, and Michelle, 33, exchanged contracts yesterday and are "thrilled" to embark on their huge plans. 

"It was their first home together and it holds so many happy memories but they're excited about the future and building their dream home.

"They wanted to share that with their fans so started an Instagram and are overwhelmed how many people want to follow their journey."
