Lavish: Sean and Gayle Dunne are staying at this luxury U.S. estate


Indeed, Mrs Dunne signed the house purchase contract for the property herself: and while No38 Bush Avenue was quickly transferred into a trust run by a discreet New York attorney, the documentation for the transfer was addressed to Mrs Dunne.

Furthermore, the Dunnes have rather indiscreetly told a number of neighbours and employees that the house will be their new family home – once they have completed another $1.5m of renovations on it.

(Plans for No38, submitted to Greenwich planning officials, include a swimming pool and a considerable expansion of the already sizeable home in one of America’s wealthiest communities, which boasts Diana Ross and several billionaires as residents.)
