KATE Ferdinand gave fans a sneak peek into her dream UK staycation with her family – as well as rare snaps of her young kids.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 32, and husband, ex footballer Rio, 45, whisked their brood away for a trip on home turf to make the most of the recent long weekend.

It came hot on the heels of the couple’s incredible sun-soaked break in Abu Dhabi.
Kate cuddled up to Manchester United ace Rio in a sweet snap taken in the grounds of their £1,200 per night Suffolk retreat.
The family headed to the Wildnerness Reserve for some outdoors exploration and quality time.
The reality TV star captured a sweet snap showing her posing with Rio as they enjoyed a stroll.
Their son Cree was then seen getting stuck into an Easter Egg hunt with his cousin before Kate was also seen armed with a wicker basket full of goodies.
Then came exciting bike rides in the stunning rural settings before a beautiful sunset to round off the day.
The following morning, she captured the reality of mum life as she showcased their kids clambering on the bed for an early-morning wake-up call.
Kate then enjoyed some quality time with their daughter Shae as the rest of the bunch headed out.
Just last month, Kate was surrounded by day beds at the swish Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort, costing a further £1K per night.

Kate and Rio share son Cree and daughter Shae.
She is also step-mum to his three kids, Lorenz, 14, Tate, 12, and Tia, nine, who he shared with his late wife Rebecca.
The Essex-born star has spoken candidly about her blended family, even creating her own podcast, Blended.
Talking of her role in the Ferdinand clan, the How To Build A Family author exclusively told us: “I feel settled.
“[Experts] say it takes up to seven years to adjust to a new blended, stepfamily set-up.
“I remember hearing that and thinking: ‘Are you joking? I’m two years in and that’s a really long time.’
“But now we’re six years in and we’re all used to each other.
“It takes a while to get to know people after so much trauma and everything that has gone on.
“Becoming a parent is not built in big, sweeping moments. It’s lots of small things you do all the time.
“And it takes time to build that bond and relationship. But now I feel secure.”
Meanwhile, on home turf, Kate has told how she has a “therapy room” installed in her lavish mansion.
Their incredible home also boasts a huge garden and a gym.
