'Breakfast with Martin Bester' spoke to a source within the family, who confirmed that the luxurious property belongs to their family.
"All I can say is that I can confirm that the house does not belong to Connie Ferguson," said the source.
Due to concerns over their safety, the family requested to remain anonymous.
