LOVE Island’s Ollie Williams might be boasting of his impending country estate and Lord status – yet the former is a no-go, according to the National Trust.
The independent charity has pour cold water on his boasts of inheriting Lanhydrock House, in Cornwall, when his father Andrew, dubbed Lord of the Manor Of Lanhydrock, passes.
Ollie, 23, told fans in his VT: “When my dad dies, I’m going to be a Lord!
“My next door neighbours are Prince Charles and Camilla.
“I definitely would describe myself as wealthy, but I don’t like to brag about it.”
The female Love Island stars looking for lasting romance on the matchmaking show will be unaware of his fortune but, equally, Ollie may be confused as to the reality of the Lanhydrock House and grounds.
A spokesperson for the National Trust today categorically told The Sun Online Ollie does not live in an apartment on the Trust’s Lanhydrock Estate – and never has.
Neither the eloiquent blonde or his family live on the original grounds owned by their ancestors, as this was given up in the 1970s.
In the distant past, Ollie’s great-great-uncle chose to give Lanhydrock House and surrounding land to the National Trust in 1953.
This came with a caveat that any direct heirs could live on the grounds of the National Trust mansion.
Yet when the last family member died in the 1970s they left no direct heir – so the family’s rights to reside their are null and void, claimed the spokesperson.
In a further statement to Radio Times, a National Trust spokesperson said: “It’s great to hear that he would love to inherit Lanhydrock House.
“But we have some bad news for him; he won’t be!
“It is just one of 500 places owned and looked after by the National Trust for the nation to enjoy.”
Ollie’s family does own farmland and land which abuts, or borders onto, the National Trust’s Lanhydrock Estate.
To make the situation even more confusing, the land they own is owned by the Lanhydrock Estate Company – yet it is not THE Lanhydrock Estate many may realise from visits there.
Indeed, it may be the case their home is called Lanhydrock too, it is just not the original one.
Therefore Ollie’s boasts in the villa may not be as grand as first appears.
A Nation
Despite the potential blow, Ollie and his family are still worth a huge sum, as exclusively revealed by The Sun Online.
The accounts for The Lanhydrock Estate Company shows the family have assets of £15,803,925 in 2018, down from £16,350,545.
It is described as a business for buying and selling of real estate.
Ollie has used the property prowess to great effect already in the Cape Town villa and said he pulls women by flaunting his wealth.
Ollie said: “Best chat up line I’ve ever used is, ‘Do you know Polzeath beach in Cornwall? I own it.’
“That’s it. Chat up line, done.”
The Sun Online has gone to the National Trust for further comment.
