From pop star to poverty - all the millionaires who squandered their cash

These stars have blessed our ears with iconic music over the years, but the fame and fortune sometimes proved to be too much.

From Westlife’s Shane Filan to Blue’s Lee Ryan, many of them earned millions with their hits only to declare themselves bankrupt years later.

Not all of them stayed bankrupt, as some managed to secure gigs and better deals to make their way back to luxury living.

Blue singer Lee Ryan was recently fined 1,501 over motoring offences and claimed he had “no money” due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Meanwhile, Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona declared herself bankrupt in 2008 after failing to pay tax bills.

Mirror have put together a list of stars who went from riches to rags after years in the limelight.
