It owes £974,107 to 12 creditors, including suppliers, HMRC and BT.

Leslie’s husband — former Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday striker Lee Chapman, also 62 — is owed £869,933.

Liquidators believe Chapman, who is also a company director, and the other creditors will be left out of pocket as Souk’s assets amount to £186,999.

Documents revealed Ash has agreed "the company be wound up voluntarily."
