Former Celebrity Big Brother and Love Island star fails to repay debts of £250,000
REALITY TV star Calum Best has failed to repay debts of £250,000.
The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant earned huge sums on shows including SAS: Who Dares Wins, Celebrity Love Island and Celebs Go Dating.
But he appointed liquidators to close his failing media firm Trouble to Triumph Limited in 2022.
Liquidators have discovered the company had run up substantial debts, including a £48,971 director’s loan and a £85,625 tax bill.
Best, the 43-year-old son of football legend George, has now agreed to pay back £60,000 in monthly instalments.
Company liquidators said: “Following substantive correspondence with the director, and in consideration of his current financial means, a full and final settlement of £60,000 has been agreed.”
In 2013, Calum was forced to surrender a £75,000 18-carat gold Jean Lassale watch after declaring bankruptcy due to unpaid tax bills.
The firm was set up in 2015 when he made his first Celebrity Big Brother appearance, which he was paid £50,000 for.
He returned to the show for another stint in 2017.
The former model is also chairman of Dorking Wanderers FC women’s team.
