Vinnie’s farm isn’t a posh, manicured estate with a butler. It’s real. It’s about 200 acres of rolling hills, woodlands, and muddy fields. He lives there with his wife, Tanya.
There’s a main farmhouse. It’s a big, stone thing with character. Think roaring fires and muddy boots by the door. Not a gleaming marble kitchen.
He breeds pedigree sheep. Seriously. He has Southdown sheep that he’s very proud of. He once won a rosette at a local show. The man who played a psychopath in Midnight Meat Train is a show-winning shepherd.
