Darren McMullen buys property in France Darren McMullen has bought a house in France. THE Voice host Darren McMullen recently snapped up an imposing home in Salies-De-Bearn, southwest France, taking to Instagram to show off his new mansion. The former Scottish hellraiser was so thrilled with his purchase that he posted on his Instagram site, showing off photos of his property and inviting all his fans to come and stay. According to McMullen, the home is very close to Biarritz and he has already described it as "paradise." It also looks something of a bargain with similar-sized homes going for around $364,000. Salies-De-Bearn is a beautiful spa town in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques full of 16th and 17th century Bearnaise houses. According to Wikipedia, during the occupation of France by Nazi Germany, Salies was on the border between the occupied zone and the free zone.

Scottish-born McMullen, 31, is currently based in Europe, where he is working on a travel show for "weird subcultures" for National Geographic. His parents also live in the south of France, so he has a lot of knowledge of the area. Although the former party animal has not yet resigned as host from the third series of The Voice, it might be increasingly difficult to dislodge him from his new digs. In the meantime, we await news of his conquests in Biarritz Confidential.
