A FORMER Eastenders star could be forced to sell his Woodford Green home after being declared bankrupt over a £20,000 tax bill.
Joe Swash, 27, left his role as Micky Miller in the long-running soap in 2006, before reviving his career by winning I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! last year.
He is apparently unable to pay the final instalment of the £120,000 he owed to the taxman and his assets have been seized after a hearing at the High Court.
The divorced father-of-one, who has can be seen presenting Living With My Idol with former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson on Living TV, owns a home in Woodford Green reportedly worth £400,000. He is currently in Australia to appear as a guest host on this year's I'm A Celebrity... series.
His agent Becca Barr insisted it had all been a mix-up and the bankruptcy was a mistake which would be cleared up in the near future.
