Волнуется

Serial love cheat Mark Owen has bought his wife Emma her dream house in a desperate bid to save their marriage.

Their relationship was on the verge of collapse after Owen admitted to a string of affairs and a long battle with alcohol during their five-year relationship.

But now the Take That star has paid close to £2million for the property so that the couple can make a fresh start.

Fresh start: Mark Owen and his wife Emma are planning to modernise the home they have bought in south London

The singer and actress Emma had been married for only months when Owen confessed that he had repeatedly cheated on her during their relationship, after revelations in a newspaper about his infidelity.

According to friends close to Owen, who is reportedly worth £10million, he has begged for forgiveness from Emma, 33, and promised that he will be faithful to her from now on.

The couple, who married in October, have a three-year-old son, Elwood, and a one-year-old daughter, Willow Rose.

Emma has apparently agreed to give the marriage a second chance. The couple have spent £1.8million on the attractive semi-detached house in South London.

The property boasts an impressive cellar running its entire length but Emma has insisted that the space will be used for a state-of-the-art gym, not for storing wine.

Outlay: The couple have spent £1.8million on this attractive semi-detached house in South London

A source close to the couple told The Mail on Sunday: ‘They are both really excited about moving into the new house.

'They are seeing it as a new start. There was a time when they thought the marriage was over but they have agreed to give it another chance. Mark has promised to do everything he can to make things work.

‘Emma has longed to move for a while and she fell in love with this property. It’s in a really nice part of London and has great potential.

‘They have just got planning permission and are going to have their dream house.

They have months of building work ahead of them and are going to be spending a fortune but it will look incredible once it’s finished.’

The couple plan to modernise the house with glass floors, glass staircases and a sizeable dressing room.

Mark, 38, has told friends he is ‘thankful’ for the chance to repair his broken marriage.

He admitted to cheating on his wife ten times during their relationship, including an affair with 24-year-old accounts manager Neva Hanley which lasted for nearly five years.

He confessed: ‘I have been an idiot. Nobody else is to blame.’ He insisted he has been faithful since marrying Emma. Owen has also spent time in a private clinic to fight his alcohol addiction.

The source added: ‘Emma made the decision to take him back but this is the last chance he will get. He has said she can have anything she wants in the house and she’s taking full advantage.’

Новая жизнь в новом доме?

Love-rat Mark Owen has been taken back for good by his long-suffering wife, The People can reveal.

And friends say the Take That idol is overjoyed he's been given a new start by Emma - even though he cheated on her with at least 10 women.

Mark, 38, has spent the past month battling booze problems at a secret rehab clinic after admitting the flings.

And pals feared mum-of-two Emma, 33, had ditched him for ever after she repeatedly shunned his desperate pleas to visit him.

But a source close to Mark said last night: "As far as a return home goes the phrase is 'the door is ajar' "Emma feels he's done everything he can to make it up to her and she has made sure he's learnt his lesson.

"Mark now has a genuine opportunity to move back in and show he's changed his ways.

"They're committed to making this work so everyone's hoping they can patch things up.

"But make no mistake - they know they face a long journey to get things back on track."

The source went on: "Their kids are at the centre of their thoughts.

"Emma believes she and Mark have to do everything they can to stay together and give them the best upbringing they can.

"And Mark is very much aware of his responsibilities as a dad and husband." The insider added: "Emma needed time to herself to work out what would be best for her children.

"She has gone through every emotion and there were times when the future of their marriage was in severe Emma doubt."

Mark has he can to Mark will now return to the plush London home he shares with Emma and their children Elwood, four, and Willow Rose, one, when he finally leaves rehab.

The couple - who have been together for six years - held crisis talks last week over the explosive revelations of Mark's drink-fuelled romps with a string of Take That fans.

Multi-millionaire Mark first fell for actress Emma, who has appeared in TV hits Doctors and The Bill, after they met in 2004.

They got engaged two years later and married in church in Scotland last November.

But the pair looked to be destined for the divorce courts just four weeks ago after Mark's cheating confession which stunned the legions of adoring women who had always believed in the fresh-faced star's goody-goody image.

After coming clean to heartbroken Emma about his serial cheating, Mark made a tearful public apology.

He sobbed: "I'm really sorry. Emma's really strong and I know she will do what's right for her and the kids.

"I support that and I really appreciate that.

"She loved me - she still does me - and I have let her down.

"You realise what you have done when you face up to it and the mistakes you have made."

Since then Mark - a former winner of C4's Celeb Big Brother - has been helped by his exbandmate Robbie Williams who has also had drink problems.

The TAKE THAT star was looking for a new family home before he sensationally confessed his ten affairs to The Sun.

But the 38-year-old and his wife EMMA put the process on hold when he was admitted to a secret rehab clinic last month.

A source said: "He is totally focused on repairing himself and his marriage. The last thing on his mind is moving." The star is expected to be in rehab at least until May.

Owen and actress Emma, 33, had been wanting to stay in South London, but move to a larger home. They have son Elwood, three, and daughter Willow Rose, one.

The source added: "He's desperate to start afresh - but if and where they do is still up in the air."
