Tamara Ecclestone and husband Jay Rutland to open up £70million mansion to cameras for new ITVBe reality show
SOCIALITE TAMARA ECCLESTONE is giving fans an access-all-areas pass to see the glitzy goings-on at her £70million mansion.
The high-living daughter of BERNIE ECCLESTONE and her husband Jay Rutland will have their own six-part reality show for ITVBe.
It will follow the couple’s life at their glamorous West London mansion, which has 57 rooms, a full-sized bowling alley, a £1million crystal bathtub, swimming pool and Great Gatsby-style bar.
A source said: “Tamara and Jay have been secretly filming for the past few months.
"They can’t wait to open their doors and Tamara is keen to show she’s more than just a socialite.
“As well as watching her enjoy star-studded showbiz parties and renovating her luxury home, viewers will also see Tamara being a normal mum.
"She’ll be seen bringing up her daughter Sophia and doing things such as eating curry at home in her pyjamas.
"It’s a really raw look into her life and ITV are massively keen to make sure it’s a hit.”
The series comes after Tamara’s Billion $$ Girl series on Channel 5 in 2011, which saw her treat five of her dogs to a pampering session at Harrods and organise a charity ball for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Tamara once famously admitted she uses just three of the 57 rooms in her sprawling Kensington home.
At least the ITV crew won’t need to shell out for a hotel.

Aidan's pold-ing court
BEING a Cornish tin miner is no walk in the park – just ask Poldark star AIDAN TURNER.
Just weeks after the final episode of series three aired, the hunky star was back in period costume filming the next series.
Aidan looked in good form as he joked around on the set of the BBC1 series.
While ELEANOR TOMLINSON, who plays his wife Demelza, was back in the swing of things, too, picking apples with a young co-star.
But fans will be sad to hear this series could be the penultimate one after Aidan suggested the writers could run out of ideas.
Speaking last month, he said: “I think we run out of things to do after series five, I think that would be our last one.”
No doubt bosses will squeeze in a couple more topless scenes with Aidan before then.
LOVE ICE-LAND
ALL those hours working out in the Love Island villa can finally be put to good use by winner KEM CETINAY.
The Essex hairdresser who shared victory with girlfriend AMBER DAVIES, has caught the eye of Dancing On Ice bosses.
He joins Bake Off winner CANDICE BROWN, singer RAY J and model ALEX GERRARD in a pool of about 50 celebs vying for a final place on the show.
A source said: “Kem impressed ITV bosses in Love Island and they wanted one of the contestants for DOI too.
“They think he could physically keep up with the training and has the personality to be a fan favourite.”
The show, that returns next year, was officially launched last week with JAYNE TORVILL and CHRISTOPHER DEAN as judges, and HOLLY WILLOUGHBY and PHILLIP SCHOFIELD as hosts.
X Factor hopeful in a fix
X FACTOR hopeful Talia Dean should have given her social media a spring clean before Saturday’s show.
The airport worker wowed the judges – but if they had heard her earlier thoughts about the show they might have voted differently.
In an angry Facebook rant two years ago, after contestant Seann Miley Moore was voted out, Talia wrote: “Fix factor! The show has turned into a bloody circus – messy, distracting dancing, over-singing and bad music.
"X Factor is ruining the industry.”
Despite her past feelings, Talia still managed to suck up to the judges, saying NICOLE SCHERZINGER and SHARON OSBOURNE inspired her to take part after she met them at Heathrow.
When Simon quizzed her, Talia refused to reveal the worst celebs she had come across.
If only she’d kept her thoughts about the show quiet, too.
