Britain’s Got Talent winner George Sampson in High Court battle to get mum evicted
The dancer, who triumphed on the ITV show in 2008 aged just 14, used part of his £100,000 winnings to buy a home in Warrington
BRITAIN’S Got Talent winner George Sampson is taking his mother to the High Court – to have her evicted from a house that he owns.
The dancer, who triumphed on the ITV show in 2008 aged just 14, used part of his £100,000 winnings to buy a home in Warrington.
And he went on to snap up a second property aged 18, which mum Lesley moved into.
But sources close to the youngster, now 23, told how he is now embroiled in a legal wrangle to evict her, as she refuses to leave the house.
One said: “The first house George bought is in Lesley’s name – as he was underage when he bought it – and she collects the rent from that.
“She has also been living in the second property. But George has now decided he wants it back, and he asked her politely to leave this year.
“Unfortunately, she doesn’t want to and they are now due in court to fight it out.
“George never wanted to involve lawyers, or make this business any messier than it needs to be. All he wants is the house that is rightfully his.
“He has a life in London now, and he also needs to support himself.”
George declined to comment.
