Removal men shift Chris and Gwyneth's things as they rearrange / relocate to LA

Mattresses, a trampoline and a dinosaur... Removal men shift Chris and Gwyneth's things as they rearrange / relocate to LA

When a family calls in the removal men, it gives nosy neighbours a chance to gawp at the contents of their house, reports the Daily Mail. And in the case of famously private Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, you could forgive neighbours for being especially curious.

Carrying items out of the high-profile couple's London home, the removal company's haul included a trampoline, a mattress and various large packages of furniture. They also lifted out a large model dinosaur and toy horse, which presumably belong to the couple's two children, Apple and Moses. The workers also loaded a guitar case, emblazoned with Chris's band name Coldplay, into a waiting lorry.

Gwyneth, 36, is going to spend the next few months in Los Angeles filming Iron Man 2. Chris will be away for some time too, touring the States with Coldplay. The couple have long split their time between homes in the UK and the US, but recent reports suggested the film star wanted to move back to her native country.

After her recent detour to New York, where she had dinner with her friend Madonna, a mutual friend said: 'Gwyneth told Madonna she’s planning to stay in America for six months. ‘Madonna’s delighted. Since she moved back to New York, Madonna has been working on getting Gwyneth to leave the UK for good.’

But the star's spokesman Stephen Huvane said: 'They are not moving house - just removing and replacing some things.' He added that the superstar couple will continue to live a transatlantic life. 'Gwyneth has always lived in the U.S. half of year and the U.K. the other half. She will be working on Iron Man 2 for the next three to four months in Los Angeles and then she usually spends her summer in New York.'
