A beauty queen still hasn’t received the keys to £6 million Omaze house she won in February due to row over planning.
Vicky Curtis-Crewell, a former Miss Wales finalist, scooped the north Norfolk mansion in February after entering an Omaze and Comic Relief raffle draw.
But the following month a member of the public raised concerns about the property and an investigation was launched by the local council.
It now says there had been certain breaches of planning control.
According to the Sun, these relate to a tennis court and swimming pool, as well as the overall size of the property.

After the win, Ms Curtis-Cresswell, originally from south Wales, said she felt ‘pure joy’.
‘Our lives changed forever and we became multi-millionaires.’
‘It’s crazy, one week, we’re worrying about our old car breaking down, the next thing we’ve got a £6 million house.’
The 38-year-ol had been living at her in-laws’ home and was hoping to find a place for her and her family.
An Omaze spokesperson told Metro: ‘Omaze continues to work with North Norfolk District Council in relation to recommendations made regarding the property in Norfolk.
‘Omaze has submitted a pre-application to the council and is submitting a retrospective planning application.
‘Omaze reiterates that it guarantees no house winner would ever have to incur any costs whatsoever to remedy any historical planning issue.
‘Omaze further guarantees that all house prizes are transferred to winners with good and marketable title.’
A spokesperson for North Norfolk District Council, meanwhile, told The Sun: ‘We are waiting for an application to be submitted by the owners to try and regularise the current breaches of planning control.
‘We are expecting an application to be submitted by the end of this month.’
The Metro has contacted the council for a comment.
Ms Curti-Creswell has said she plans to sell the 5,000sq ft home, which is modelled on the luxurious seaside houses in the Hamptons.
‘I think we’ll sell it to release the money and buy another amazing house somewhere in Wales,’ she said.
As well as a tennis court and pool, the home comes with a summer house, secluded pontoon and £156,000 worth of furnishing.
