Kate explained that while they will all need to get used to how busy and loud everything is, the move has been "everything you could wish" for. She gushed: "It's so loud I can't even tell you, you can't even hear yourself think.

"There's a lot of over-stimulation. But also, it's so special and crazy and loving and loud and everything that you could wish it to be. The bond between the kids is amazing."

Talking to Kent Life, she admitted their set dinner time rules of eating as a family can be "mental" ."There's food getting thrown about everywhere," she confessed. "Drinks are being spilled. But it's the one time we're all together, normally."

Kate has regularly shared updates from their time in the sun on Instagram. Recently, her carousel was filled with sweet pictures of the family enjoying a dip in Dubai's Gulf. There were also snaps of some intense gym workouts.

Kate and Rio upped sticks from Bromley, south-east London, to the exclusive gated community of Al Barari in search of a fresh start and new life. Kate recently gave her followers an inside look at their lavish new family home on her Instagram as she stated it was a ‘new chapter’ for the family.

She captioned the upload: "A new chapter, a fresh start - because if we don’t try, we’ll never know. Ahhh! We’ve talked about this for so long, and now it’s finally real… we’re here, we are making a new home in the place we met!"

She added: "Missing some of our specials already & a bit scared, excited & nervous — but more than anything, ready for fresh starts and new beginnings."

Dubai holds a special place in the duo's hearts as it is where they first set eyes on each other. Almost a decade ago, Rio and former TOWIE star Kate met after being introduced by a mutual friend.

Former England footballer Rio even proposed to Kate in Abu Dhabi two years after meeting. A source revealed to The Sun that the Middle East has a lot of potential for the family.

They said: “It holds a special place in their hearts as that’s where they met and both could easily travel back and forth for their work commitments in the UK."
