Eastenders icon sells home and moves into caravan after being killed on screen


Play all audios:


James Bye, known for his role as Martin Fowler in EastEnders, has made a significant lifestyle change following his departure from the soap earlier this year. In a heart-wrenching episode


marking the show's 40th anniversary, Martin was tragically killed when the Queen Vic collapsed, leaving fans devastated. Following these dramatic events, James, who is currently touring


with the theatre production of Death Comes to Pemberley as Mr Darcy, has sold his home and moved into a caravan with his wife, four children, and two blind dogs. His wife Victoria shared


the surprising news on Instagram, stating: "It's official ...because we've only gone and sold our 'forever home'. And not only that. We've done it so that we


can move into a field - and into a caravan.." She continued: "Yes, you read that right. A tin box on wheels with barely enough room to swing a cat let alone four kids + two blind


dogs. S**t. Now, you may wonder what in the hell we're doing (I know we do, both still I denial I think! )". Victoria explained that their decision wasn't entirely out of the


blue, as living in a caravan had been a long-held dream for the couple, inspired by their parents' similar experiences in the eighties. She even revealed that James' sister was


conceived in a mobile home, adding: "A dream we've long since had and just never had the time ... or the belief that we could." Victoria and James have decided to take the


plunge and embark on a new adventure, despite already having a lot on their plate. In a light-hearted and humorous tone, Victoria wrote: "And yet somehow, when it feels like we've


got more than ever on our plate, we thought. Sod it. It's now or never. This is our year for change. And so we are.", reports the Mirror. Acknowledging the potential risks, she


joked: "I mean, what's could go wrong? ! (Er, right. Everything apparently. But let's just breeze over that bit and get back to following your dreams and all that gumph...)


Because, really, it has been a bit of a dream of ours for a very long time." It seems that this sense of adventure runs in the family, as both Victoria and James' parents did


something similar back in the 80s. Victoria shared: "And it's no surprise because both of our parents did the very same thing back in the 80's! And they survived! (just about!


) In fact, James' sister was conceived in their caravan right on the foundations of the house they still call home to this day!". However, Victoria was quick to clarify that she


and James have no plans to expand their family of six. She stated: "And whilst there is a firm NO on any baby making shenanigans going on in our little love pad, the same belief and


hope for something that we've built on our own is there." The couple is excited for their new journey, which promises to be an adventure filled with chaos and mud. Victoria


exclaimed: "It'll be an adventure. A messy, chaotic, mud filled ride - just us and our boys. And we cant wait. We might even get an alpaca. What the hell, in for a penny and all


that.." Finally, she invited their followers to join them on this journey, asking for any advice they might have: "So stick around for the journey you lovely lot - and please - any


advice send our way."
