The Biggest Loser fitness trainers Michelle Bridges and Steve "Commando" Willis are set to stay in their Potts Point apartment following the birth of their first child.

Recent Birchgrove neighbourhood gossip had them making their family home on the peninsula, but the recently renovated historic sandstone house is actually scheduled for September 19 auction. 

The cottage is nearing the end of a two-year plus renovation with workmen cleaning the 370 square metre site which has harbour and city skyline views.

It was bought for $2.35 million in 2011 by Michele Bridges and her then husband, Bill Moore.

Given Bridges regular recent sightings at the Wharf Road work site, neighbours gleefully thought the Birchgrove property would become the home of Bridges and her new partner, Steve Willis.

The celebrity couple are expecting their first child together, having announced last month that Michelle was four months into her pregnancy.

It was early 2013 when the then Biggest Loser star and her husband, Bill Moore decided to split after nine years of marriage, while keeping their multimillion-dollar fitness empire intact, with Bill retaining his role as business manager.

The couple had met at Moore's Balmain gym and then renovated their Rozelle house, where Moore continues to reside.

Their desired renovations were approved in 2012 despite concerns by a small number of neighbours at the bulk of the proposed garage/gymnasium sought to replace the existing outbuilding.

The C & D Exclusive Constructions work team were prepping the two storey house last week for the furniture staging ahead of the Cobden Hayson auction.
