Emmerdale star Chris Bisson reveals house update after ’emotional rollercoaster’ after he ‘stopped posting’
EMMERDALE star Chris Bisson admitted building his dream house has been an “emotional rollercoaster”.
The soap star, 49, who plays Jai Sharma in the ITV soap, has shared progress of the build with fans on Instagram.
Actor Chris posted a series of throwback photos from his renovation journey after two years of hard graft.
In one photo, Chris shared a glimpse of his newly-installed windows and told fans that he had finally moved in to the new property.
He wrote: “House Update People – Have been asking how we are doing with the house… Well, we set ourselves a target of having it ready for Ella’s 9th birthday party – a massive push, but we made it.
“We christened the house with a doughnut decorating party & it immediately felt like home.”
Reflecting on the last writing: “Before that, I just stopped posting.
“At times, it was an emotional rollercoaster, and I just never felt like sharing.
“But I will now share some more updates from the archives.
“It will be a trip down memory lane, some of which I’ll enjoy and… other bits I’ll just skip over.”
The sprawling pad had been under construction since 2022.
Chris and his wife Rowena Finn previously shared updates with their fans.
Chris has been seen laying concrete in various social media posts.
The star also shared footage of the staircase and the first floor coming together after delays.
At the time, he wrote: “After a grinding wet Autumn to get up to height, another big landmark was upon us. An actual first floor.”
He continued: “There was a lot of preparation before it arrived. All of the steel had to be set, checked and double checked to make sure were exactly right. I remember a lot of toing and froing with the supply company, but eventually we got there and it was all craned in over 3 days – and hey presto, we can keep building.”
In 2022, Chris revealed the family’s plans to undertake the massive project.
He said: We’ve embarked on a little family adventure…
Building our forever home! It’s been a long time in the planning and we are excited to finally be making a start.”
