Ronan Keating revealed on Wednesday that his wife Storm has been spending 14 hours a day on a building site, rather than attending much-needed physiotherapy, in a bid to complete their new eco-home before Christmas.
The gruelling shifts come after Storm was left temporarily paralysed from the waist down last year when she underwent back surgery for a prolapsed disc and woke up in hospital with no feeling in her lower body or control over her bowel or bladder.
Speaking exclusively to the MailOnline, Ronan said of Storm's long road to recovery: 'She tries to get to physio[therapy] but even that has been hard because she’s on site 14 hours a day non stop... She's an incredibly positive person.

Ronan and Storm purchased the manion on the outskirts of London back in 2016 and have spent the last five years transforming the traditional house into a zero carbon home - complete with a pool and tennis court.
