The 38-year-old - who lives in Northamptonshire with her husband Ali Gordon - fell in love with Norfolk after a holiday in Cley-next-the-sea last year.

In March, she revealed they had purchased a 200-year-old fisherman's cottage in the heart of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, which runs from The Wash to Winterton.

The pair have now picked up the keys and publicly shared their plans to refurbish it into their dream holiday home.

"I feel so grateful to begin bringing this little kitchen to life, from the sink by the window to the Aga I’ve always dreamed of," Millen wrote on Instagram on Thursday.

"From being told I wouldn’t amount to much, to this… I don’t take a second of it for granted."

In a video shared to her one million YouTube subscribers, Millen can be seen packing to head to Norfolk to visit the home.

The clip showed her buying Airbnb supplies at Bakers and Larners of Holt, strolling through the countryside by Great Ryburgh and enjoying a "very, very good" meal at the "beautiful" Brisley Bell.

The next day, when they got to the new home, she was filmed exploring the kitchen - which is set to be ripped out - two guest bedrooms, one master bedroom and two bathrooms.

She said she would reorganise the bathrooms to utilise the space, add a wood burner to one of the bedrooms and redesign the garden.

"Something I'm passionate about with this project is working with as many local businesses as humanly possible," she said.

Millen added that she loves Norfolk because it feels like "untouched England still".

"There's a simplicity to it here," she mused.
