An Urban explorer reveals wreckage inside footballer Jermaine Pennant's abandoned £3million mansion after a fire ripped through the property. Daniel Sims, 33, known as BeardedReality on YouTube, took to his channel to give his followers an insight into the burned-down former home that allegedly belonged to Jermaine Pennant, who played for Liverpool from 2006-2009 The former Arsenal and Leeds United star, 39, bought the five-bedroom mansion in 2006 when he joined Liverpool and lived there until he left the club to play for a Spanish team But the property has stood empty since 2020 after the footballer split from his then partner model Alice Goodwin, 32. He then rented the home in Speke, Cheshire, for a further decade as his footballing career saw him move several times - including stints in India and Singapore before he finally retired in 2017 But the property has stood empty since 2020 after the footballer split from his then partner model Alice Goodwin, 32 Youtuber Daniel showed his 9,500 subscribers that the property was nowhere near its former glory The abandoned home, near Liverpool's John Lennon Airport, was subsequently converted into a cannabis farm and was subject to a drugs warrant earlier this year - leading to the arrest of a 35-year-old man But firefighters rushed to the house last October when a blaze broke out Police have launched an arson investigation into the fire 'I explored this site with Mr Micky late last year just after it had two fires and a cannabis factory inside it,' said the Huddersfield-based content creator. Viewers were soon introduced to a slew of derelict rooms, fallen tiles and piles of black bin bags, filled to the brim with refuse The property itself has been in a deserted state since 2020, with a drug warrant allegedly being served at the location in recent months after officers reportedly discovered a cannabis farm with multiple plants 'I explored this site with Mr Micky late last year just after it had two fires and a cannabis factory inside it,' said the Huddersfield-based content creator He added: 'We were on the site for a good hour navigating the place, filming and taking pictures.
