Clearly selling yoghurt does not a fortune make!
Let's hope she has some to settle her stomach.
hasnt been paying her taxes!
she should walk or get the bloody bus then
I have no sympathy for celebs like this (and Kerry Katona) who end up owing all that tax - and it annoys me that they can just 'go bankrupt' They earned the money or they wouldn't be due tax on it. What did they do with it all (ok, we know what happened to Kerry Katona's) do they think they've got a God given right to employment and just spend their all assuming they'll have a job when bill paying time comes around?

What annoys me is that they seem to get a "reality show" out of it, thus making more money !!!
How easy it seems to come to some who do not appear to appreciate their good fortune.
Can she just write off her tax debts now? Unfair.
They do what companies do,declare that they have folded etc.then open a new company with a "new" director etc.

Asparagus and Yoghurt.
It's like a bone with me, just won't let it go.
Greedy and wreckless and now we pick up the bill, right?
Great idea. Blow ALL your money then stick two fingers up to the taxman. Wish I'd though of that.
Hope she fecks off into obscurity. She better not be playing the sympathy card round the magazines + tabloids
Joe If she was in obscurity - then by definition she wouldn't be in the press.
YOU ARE SO FLIPPING ARGUMENTATIVE

Apparently she's not long since had a lovely wedding at Lake Como. Nice that the cash went to good use
Comic, ain't she

Dunno who's funnier - her or the judge. She'll be discharged in January.

Am I misreading this, she's gone bankrupt for owing less than a mortgage on a garden shed in the east end

it seems so - times are hard. She's been very nice to her Twitter followers though - she's getting lots of sympathy.

Well she'll get none from me!
Surely she should be made to repay this?
Can't she earn ÂĢ180k

The trustees can sell all her assets and pay back as much as they can with the funds. If she has enough assets, then the debts will be paid in full. If not, then they will take any earnings she has over the next year, give her enough to live on and use the rest to pay her creditors.

Members of the Jackson family - first Michael's parents with debts of $45m , then some of the children - Tito, Jermaine, Randy and Rebbie.
Apparently, Michael and his songbird sisters Janet and LaToya did nothing, saying they had no part of the family firm.
La Toya Jackson then went bankrupt herself, & Michael is rumoured to have been heading for bankruptcy himself. At one point, he'd managed to reduce his spending to ÂĢ1m a month.

Sir Richard Branson

quite an interesting thread here about it
http://forums.moneysavingexper...wthread.php?t=420969
and this post on there sums it all up for me .... so true
It always amazes me though when celebs go bankrupt they seem to continue to live in the same house, have the same lifestyle etc yet when ordinary people go bankrupt it has a devastating effect on their lives.

Very true. When ordinary people get into financial trouble, bailiffs are sent round - apparently if a window is open they can enter to take whatever belongings they can + even tow your car away.
