Why The Voice Australia coach LeAnn Rimes stayed in a run-down Sydney terraced house with a basic kitchen while Adam Lambert splurged on a pricey Bondi penthouse

She was once one of the biggest country music stars in the world.

But LeAnn Rimes certainly wasn’t living in luxury while filming The Voice in Australia.

The singer and her husband, actor Eddie Cibrian, were placed in a very modest three-bedroom house in Paddington, Sydney.

The property has a very basic kitchen, a small courtyard and a detached studio/office space.

According to sources, LeAnn and her husband wanted something private and cosmopolitan.

“She really wanted a place with a courtyard and enough space for her and Eddie to relax,” a Seven insider told Daily Mail Australia.

‘LeAnn wanted a home that offered some privacy, but was still close enough to the city’s vibrant neighborhoods.

‘Each coach had his own requirements regarding accommodation.

Elsewhere in Sydney, Guy Sebastian has no need for a temporary abode: he lives in his own ultra-modern $3.1 million ‘fortress’ in Maroubra, with his wife Jules and their two sons.

The luxurious house, with a tennis court and a grand piano, offers both privacy and a warm, family atmosphere.

Sebastian has spoken about how he and Jules are still getting used to their new lifestyle, admitting: ‘If I’m honest, I’m still getting used to it. Jules and I never grew up in new houses. But now we have a lot of space and a pool.’
