Lorne Spicer, presenter of Cash in the Attic has filed for bankruptcy.
As you would expect the irony that her show helps people to cash in on any valuables they have squirreled over the years and yet the preseter has no cash has been found amusing by numerous posters on internet forums.
Other famous individuals who have been embarrased publicly include Martin Lewis of moneysavingexpert.com and Rachel Elnaugh of Dragons Den and Red Letter Days.
Martin Lewis missed the deadline for filing the annual accounts of moneysavingexpert on August 31 2008 and was fined £100 by Companies House as a result. Rachel Elnaugh's Red Letter Days business went into administration assets and goods were bought by fellow Dragons' Den judges Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis.
