    As they entered the world of glitz and glamour, Sandi and Prue first noted the high ceilings, before Sandi clocked a piece of striking artwork and joked: 'That's the best use of a glue gun I've ever seen.'

    Elsewhere, Prue, who isn't afraid to make a bold statement with her choice of clothing, praised the statement colours used throughout the house - particularly the living room.

    'What about this for a party room?' said Prue, to which Sandi replied: 'That is stunning!' Prue continued: 'It's just such a relief because for the last 15 years every smart place I've ever been in has been all white or all grey or at the most greige - a little bit of beige. But this is just full of colour. I love colour!

    Along with a guitar they found in the living room, the curtains also struck a chord with the duo. 

    'I love these curtains - aren't they fantastic?' said Sandi, to which Prue explained: 'Now that's called Italian springing because with opera they realised they had to spring the curtains from the back.

    The property went on the market last year for £3.5 million and reportedly is rented out for between £10,000 and £25,000 per week, according to Gloucestershire Live. Pictured, the exterior

    Exploring the impressive garden, Sandi and Prue were delighted to discover a swimming pool - complete with its own decking and sunbeds.

    'I mean, how glamorous is this?' said Sandi. 'You can sit here, a little drink - maybe wave at our friends on the terrace. Oh I love this!'

    Next, the pair went on to explore the mezzanine master bedrooms - which featured silk carpet, its own record player and a striking mirrored four-poster bed by David Haddock.

    'This is really a very comfy, sexy room, isn't it?' said Prue, to which Sandi joked: 'I feel like your husband should be here really and I should just go and make you tea.'

    Prue quipped: 'No, we won't want tea for a while, darling!'   

    Taking to Twitter following the grand tour, one viewer penned: 'The Kate Moss-designed house in the Cotswolds where it has a Crossley turntable in the bedroom. *scratches drawing pin across record.*

    A second commented: 'I wonder how much Kate Moss's gaff costs.'  

    But not everyone felt the same, with another writing: 'The Cotswolds/KateMoss House looks wonderful. So disappointed to see camera shots of the dreaded #woodburner. 

    'Obviously oblivious to health/pollution problems caused by #burning wood?'

    Davis was ordered by Derbyshire Magistrates Court to attend a Building Better Relationships course following a conviction for Assault by Beating in July 2019.

    But Ms Alcock decided to restart their relationship after Davis promised he had changed.

    She said: 'I was still in denial that he was a bad person at this point. He controlled me and he would often turn on me and his mood would change instantly.

    'He had two sides to him, I would describe him as a narcissist. He would criticise everything I did.'

    More than a year later, Ms Alcock decided to leave Davis in December 2019 when she was eight months pregnant. 

    But last March, the mother discovered Davis had posted explicit images her online, which she says was in an attempt to humiliate her after she ended the relationship. 

    She said: 'Our daughter was born in January and he would constantly talk about me online. 

    'He would pretend to our friends that he was the perfect partner, he would post on social media that we were a perfect family, when he wasn't even allowed to be near me.' 

    Ms Alcock explained the photographs were taken without her consent, including images of her 'in compromising positions' snapped while she was asleep.

     She said: 'I didn't know he had taken those photos but I still blamed myself and questioned if I deserved it. He didn't care what he had done.    

    'I didn't consent to having those photos taken of me and never to having them shared. I was so embarrassed and disgusted he could do this to me.

    'When I saw them online and I was horrified. They were so seedy and I couldn't forget about them so I decided to report it.'

    Ms Alcock immediately reported the images to the police, adding: 'I was taken seriously, it is a very serious crime. 

    'I was listened to and supported and given lots of advice for other organisations that can help.' 

    Davis initially pleaded not guilty to two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress, before changing to a guilty plea on February 4.  

    He was jailed for 12 weeks at Derbyshire Magistrates Court and handed a two-year restraining order.  

    Ms Alcock said: 'I don't think the sentence was long enough for what he did. I have to deal with it every day. 

    'I can understand why people don't want to go to the police but I am glad I did and you are listened to and supported, there is help out there.'

    'I withdrew from my friends but I would urge anyone in a difficult or controlling relationship to reach out and confide in your friends or family, tell someone, talk to someone. I wish I had spoken out earlier.'
