Overview

  • Bye and his wife sold their long-time house and relocated with their four children and two blind dogs into a field caravan.
  • The decision is driven by their plan to clear and develop the land for a self-built residence they’ve long dreamed of.
  • The lifestyle change follows Bye’s exit from EastEnders, where his character Martin Fowler was killed off, and his new role as Mr Darcy on tour.
  • Victoria Bye noted a family precedent in caravan living, recalling that both their parents lived in mobile homes during the 1980s.
  • The couple have even teased adding an alpaca to their countryside experiment as they settle into their unconventional home life.
