I really cannot feel any sympathy for people like this - they have earned shed loads of money in their time, they obviously have not invested wisely.

My husband has earnt shed loads of money in his time too! Believe me in the 80's he was earning a vast amount, we're in an IVA. We didn't invest nothing, once the money dried up in the late 90's we carried on with the lifestyle forgetting we didn't have the income. We earn the least now we ever had, have an IVA but do you know what we're happy!

We know just what you mean Lesley, however I can't feel sorry for anyone who has earned as much as a celebrity has earned and still ended up bankrupt.

I'm too embarrassed on the forum to say how much we used to earn, an obscene amount. When I look back I do cringe. Celebrity or not they're human and we all make mistakes and a lot of misjudgements as in my case. x

I wonder if Ms. Callard will keep a respected low profile while in bankruptcy...........you know, like Kerry Katona has......[:D]

She probably will - Ms Katona is still bankrupt even while she pretends that she has been discharged!!

Lesley - I can concur with what your are saying - we too let ourselves down, but actually we are far happier now having learnt our lessons and moved on with our lives.
Just because they are celebrities does not mean they don't make mistakes, and actually I know that some of them don't actually earn that far off what some of us have earnt or are earning now !

I'm sorry, but anyone with any intelligence knows that you have to pay tax. While I can understand that self employed people may struggle sometimes there is no excuse for celebrities - they can afford to pay the tax and they can afford to pay an accountant.

I have to disagree Liz - they earn a lot more than we ever have either through salary for their acting, plus promotional stuff, pantomimes, things like that.
Having seen some of the salaries they earn - it's a lot more than us!!
