This incredible Mansion was once owned by the famous Oritsé Jolomi Matthew Soloman Williams, professionally as Oritsé, is an English singer-songwriter, dancer and record producer. He is best known as the founding member of the boy band JLS, who were runners-up to Alexandra Burke on the fifth series of The X Factor in 2008.
JLS star Oritse Williams’ £3 million mansion in the London area went up in flames in a suspected arson attack just days after he was cleared of rape. Here is one of the News reports - www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.th...

I used to live close to this house when ronnie corbett lived there.Used to see him all the time driving around in his roller,he could hardly see over the steering wheel. I drove past one day & he was standing on a milk crate trying to wash the roof of his roller. He chased a burglar out of there one night.

Ronnie’s house, it’s about 5 mins from me. We were saddened when we heard it caught fire. It was a lovely place (Arts and crafts) with some amazing rooms and backed onto a golf course. Ronnie and his wife moved out before he got ill, I’m assuming to avoid inheritance tax for his kids. They moved not too far away. that first room was a small theatre, theres a TV documentary about him showing around the house. I suspect the black bathroom fittings / jacuzzi etc were not Ronnies.

Maybe, Ronnie came back as he wasn't happy with the way the house was..... and used those Fork Handles (four candles) if you want to see the sketch. One of the funniest sketches I have ever seen.

@nahladel 3 жыл бұрын

I live 5 mins from here. For a while after the fire it was under police guard, I guess because of interest from the press, a lot of people were trying to explore, and because there was suspected arson. The usual rumours of insurance fraud circulated after the fire. There's scaffolding up around it now and builders knocking about. If they're not tearing it down entirely they're likely replacing a lot of the structure and the whole roof. It's a nice enough location - top of a hill, corner plot, backing onto a golf course.

20:17 That's a dinning room with a baronial fireplace & a medievalesque minstrel's gallery up that ladder, that narrow shaft leading off it was presumably an access point with a (now absent) ladder for the musician(s) to use. That small blue roomed toilet with the newspaper cuttings all over the walls was obviously made by Corbett. Interesting & well filmed, thx.

It wasn't proven she lied at all. He was acquitted, this does not mean innocent. It means the prosecution wasn't able to provide enough evidence to obtain a guilty plea. That's all. Nothing in the trial proved anything. It didn't prove he didn't do it, it also didn't prove she lied about it.
