A gay millionaire couple with three children are moving back to mid-Essex.

Barrie and Tony Drewitt-Barlow have been house hunting in Danbury and looking at its "lovely" prep school.

The pair have four-year-old twins, a son called Aspen and daughter Saffron, born to a surrogate mother, and a baby boy, Orlando. He is Aspen's biological identical twin, despite the age gap.

The couple moved to Spain following harassment and abuse but are keen to come back to the county.

Barrie said: "We are returning to the Essex area. Danbury, we hope. We spent Wednesday looking around a few houses and we plan to be back looking again in a week's time."

He said the family are very well and they were asked to come back to Essex by former employees who need a new director for their Chelmsford business.

They sold their own research company, which had a base in Maldon, a few of years ago.
