Love Island star Paige and celebs’ fury as fashion firm goes into liquidation owing them thousands amid legal battle
LOVE Island star Paige Thorne and a raft of other top celebrities are said to be "furious" as fashion label Forever Unique goes into liquidation after signing big money deals with them.
It was revealed today that the company owned by Real Housewives of Cheshire star Seema Malhotra has collapsed.
In October of last year Paige released her first collection with the brand – a 40 piece party range.
A source told The Sun: "Paige is furious as it's been stressful enough taking legal action, but now creditors have got involved, chances are she will never see the money she was owed."
They added: "She's angry and upset, the whole thing feels like a nightmare.
"Paige isn't the only one who is upset either - lots of celebs have worked with the brand over the years and are owed money that they likely will never claw back."

Last week The Sun revealed that Paige was suing the fashion label - just six months after signing a big money deal with them.
Paige was the first Islander to work with Seema and was very excited.
After Paige landed the fashion opportunity she flew to Rome to shoot the classy snaps.
Liquidators Begbies Traynor say Manchester-based Dress Me Online, which trades as Forever Unique, employed 21 people.

The Forever Unique brand and website remains fully operational and is still fulfilling orders.
But Seema is not a director of Dress Me Online. The only director is her husband Sandeep Malhotra.
According to its most recently available accounts, the company turned over £2.3m in the year to December 2020.
The appointment is said to have come "after all options had been explored to keep the business open".
Insolvency director Amie said: "Every option was explored but there was no choice but to enter the company into liquidation.
"A combination of the economic climate, inflation and issues in recovering from the pandemic have resulted in these circumstances.
"Creditors have been informed and we will keep them up to date with progress."
The brand's clothes have previously been worn by a number of famous faces including Holly Willoughby, Amanda Holden, Aisleyne Horgan Wallace and Charlotte Dawson.
The Sun has contacted Forever Unique for comment.
