Harry Redknapp watched on as a fleet of removal men moved him and wife Sandra out of their ‘Millionaires Row’ mansion in Dorset on Wednesday.
The hubbub of activity at the four-storey property in plush Sandbanks appeared to confirm that the football manager, 73, is indeed selling the £7 million pad – having only been rumoured previously.
Harry and Sandra, 73, have lived in the area for 20 years – and appear on Celebrity Gogglebox together from their glass-paneled home.

But this is set to change, as the couple – who are the parents of football hunk Jamie Redknapp – are reportedly moving to a smaller property close by worth £3.8 million. The long-term couple are said to be making £3 million in profit in this sale.
The I’m A Celebrity star was seen overseeing things as the removal men lugged boxes and packaged up items from the house to the van.
The wet weather certainly put a dampener on proceedings, but the crew got the job done, sure to toss unwanted items in a giant skip that sat in the driveway.

The Poplar native supervised, looking serious in leisurewear, glasses at the end of his nose. Sandra stayed out of it, not seen at all during the process.
He was spotted heading in and out of the house, ascending and descending the glass and steel stairs that lead up to the front entrance of the home.
Harry – who has managed teams West Ham, Portsmouth and Tottenham during his sporting career – will be saying goodbye to the modern structure, which features an indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi, a sauna, cinema room and is a short walk from the beach.
