Leslie Ash’s bar and restaurant business collapses with debts of nearly £1m

ACTRESS Leslie Ash’s bar and restaurant business has gone up in smoke with debts of nearly £1million.

Paperwork lodged with Companies House confirmed the Men Behaving Badly star, 62, has called in liquidators for her firm Souk.

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."

The London-based business fell into debt in 2014 and has continued to lose money.

Last year, Ash made a TV return in BBC show Doctors.
