In Brief

Craig Revel Horwood lives in a caravan during mansion renovation; in Turkey, Murat Yıldız converts farm vehicle into camper due to rental crisis.

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood is temporarily living in a caravan while his £2 million mansion in Northamptonshire undergoes renovation. He bought the 1867 property in 2021; work, including wall removal and rewiring, began six months ago. According to one source, completion is expected in August 2026; another says August 2025. Horwood said caravan living is "cheaper than storage" (or "cheaper than renting a warehouse").

In Malatya, Turkey, 47-year-old Murat Yıldız from Akçadağ district, unable to find rental housing, converted his agricultural vehicle into a motorhome. He has lived in it for about three weeks, using public toilets and planning visits to baths (hamam) for hygiene. Working day jobs, he says this is better than being on the street.
