Love Island star Chyna Mills has revealed she is currently living on a boat with her fiancé Neil Jones and their daughter Havana, due to difficulty in finding a permanent home.
Chyna, 24, and Strictly star Neil, 42, sold their previous homes with plans to move into a new property together, but have been left ‘in limbo’ as they search for the right place.
Replying to a Q&A on Instagram, Chyna described the house-hunting process as ‘hell,’ explaining they were avoiding complications from property chains.
She wrote: ‘I sold my house so me and Neil could buy something together.
‘Neil bought his boat before we got together and now its conveniently there for us to stay on while in limbo.
‘(Annoyingly) we just haven’t found a house we like yet and I also didn’t want to be in a chain because the process of buying a house is hell so hopefully we find something soon.’

She confirmed the boat, initially intended as a holiday retreat or Airbnb rental, had become their temporary home adding: ‘The plan was never to live on the boat. It was just supposed to be a holiday home and Airbnb for when we aren’t using it’.
Chyna then revealed that while the boat is currently moored, the young family plan to ‘cruise around’ during the summer.
Talking about how the family spent their second Christmas together her and Neil told her followers: ‘We had a relaxing time. We did Christmas morning here. I made dinner.
‘[Neil] was supposed to make pancakes, he was meant to wake up earlier than me to make them but he made bacon sandwiches and then we went to my families house.’
Neil added: ‘In the evening we played games, me and Havana had a nice swim. It was a really nice, wholesome, relaxing Christmas.’
