Cate, 54, bought the cottage by a beach with hubby Andrew Upton for £1.6million in 2020.

They demolished it and built a five-bedroom eco home with pool.

Residents in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall — dubbed Hollywood-on-Sea — say they have to dodge huge lorries delivering supplies.

A 71-year-old said: “When you open a window you hear drilling.

“It makes our lives a misery.”

Another said: “Tourism’s essential here.

“That disruption hasn’t made the owner very popular.”

Stars including Jason Statham and Jamie Dornan also live there.
