Atomic Kitten’s Natasha Hamilton reveals she’s finally leaving the home she shares with ex-boyfriend Richie Neville… 8 months after they split
The singer continued to live with her former fiance for the sake of her children but is now dating someone else
ATOMIC Kitten's Natasha Hamilton has revealed she is finally moving out of the home she shares with her ex-fiance Richie Neville.
Speaking on today's Loose Women Natasha said she is looking forward to having a fresh start in her new house.
Natasha and Richie got together after sparks flew when they both appeared on The Big Reunion.
They quickly got engaged and had a daughter Ella together, now 22 months.
However, at the beginning of the year the couple decided to call it quits but continued living together for the sake of their daughter.
She said: "It was very amicable, we were both on the same page. We sat down and said this isn't for us...
"...and I'll be staying for the next eight months," she laughed.
"I want my children to be happy. I know other people must think it's unusual but when we split my priority was the children.
"Ella is just coming up to two and I'm explaining to her now that mummy has a new house, we move out on Friday, so we've come to the end of it now.
"It's my fresh beginning and I've got a home again."

Natasha has since found love again with Charles Gray, who is the creative director of luxury fashion brand Independent Leaders.
Gushing about her new beau Natasha revealed they met in the pub and have been "properly courting" since then.
She said: "We met at a friend's birthday party and we've actually courted since then.
"Obviously he hasn't been to my house, that would be a little bit too awkward.
"He lives in London, we see each other around once a week. We're taking it slow which is nice for a change."
Meanwhile, Natasha is heading off on tour with Atomic Kitten as the girl group have booked a string of dates in Australia and New Zealand.
She will be joined by Kerry Katona and Michelle Heaton of Liberty X fame is standing in for Liz McClarnon as she has a severe phobia of flying.
She said: "Liz is still doing stuff in the UK and she's sending us off with her blessing.
"We literally are mums on tour. While it's so nice to be going off to Australia and New Zealand, I did wonder how I'd manage it with the kids but my ex-husband Riad [Erraji] will help out."
Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV.
