Tony Blair wants it steamy!

Washington, Dec. 6 (ANI): Ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie want things to be steamer at their country mansion - and they are planning to install a sauna and a steam room in their 5.75 million-pound luxury home.

Blair, 56, whose anthem was 'Things Can Only Get Better' when he swept to power in 1997 - will start a New Labour of his own if the sports pavilion gets the go ahead.

Plans have been submitted to Aylesbury Council and include two changing rooms, a shower, kitchenette and play area. The Blairs recently got listed building approval to turn a derelict cottage on their estate into a two-bedroom guest house t will be used on weekends by children Euan, 25, Nicky, 23, Kathryn, 21, and Leo, nine.

But it landed them in hot water with some of their neighbours who opposed the plans.

The Blairs bought South Pavilion, the former home of Sir John Gielgud, in 2007 and have five other properties. (ANI)
