Olympic Sold: Shock as champ Rebecca Adlington sells marital home despite loving living with estranged hubby

OLYMPIC heroine Rebecca Adlington is selling her marital home — despite gushing how she loves living under the same roof with her estranged husband.

The swimming champ has given a string of interviews this month, detailing her domestic set-up with outcast hubby Harry Needs.

They split in March after 19 months of marriage — and Rebecca was reported to have grown close to American Superman actor Dean Cain while they starred in Channel 4’s The Jump earlier this year.



Rebecca, 27, has mounted a charm offensive since the separation and insists she and Harry, 24, enjoy living in the same house because it helps them to raise their daughter Summer who turns one next month.

She appeared on Good Morning Britain on May 17 and told host Piers Morgan: “We are still friends and are focusing on our daughter and raising her the best we can...

“Our total focus is on our daughter and it’s nice that she gets to see her parents all the time.”


In another interview at the weekend, Rebecca said: “We live together but we get on well and are very focused on Summer.”

But Rebecca — who won gold medals in Beijing in 2008 and two bronzes in London in 2012 — failed to mention she has put the family home on the market and is hoping it will soon be Olympic Sold.




The brochure for the four bedroom, three bathroom property tells prospective buyers: “A spacious detached family home set on a large plot with solid oak doors to the entrance setting the standard for the high quality finish throughout....

“Set back from the road with electronically operated double gates and a driveway providing ample parking and remote controlled double garage, with landscaped gardens to the front and rear south facing garden.”




Rebecca has told how she and Harry split after parenthood took its toll on their relationship.

But yesterday a source said: “If she likes living in the same house as Harry, why are they selling up?

“It’s a bit of a mystery why she keeps telling everyone how great she and Harry are.”
