Hollywood lovebirds Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have commissioned a £70million mega-yacht, it was reported yesterday.

The couple are said to have ordered the 240ft, three-decker yacht from a boatbuilder near Rome. It will boast six ensuite bedrooms ? kitted out with luxury marble and gold fittings ? a swimming pool, helicopter pad and gym.

Boat builder Mario La Via said Privilege Yard in Civitavecchia has had orders to build several yachts, including a 240-footer. But he refused to name its client list for ‘privacy reasons’, said the Sun newspaper.
