The entertainer revealed that in recent years her house has become a “financial crucifix”.

She 64-year-old explained: “You never own a big Georgian house like that, you’re the custodian of it for a period of time in your life.

“As custodian of it I absolutely love it, I put my life, soul, heart, money, earnings, everything into that house.

“It was the home I bought my children up in, was married to David in.”

The entertainer also spoke about her efforts to save the house she raised her daughters Chloe and Naomi in.

She said: “I’m working all the hours God gave me to sort of keep it week to week, month to month.

“I foresee having to part with it which will. Oh my God, I can’t even talk about it. Break my heart, break my heart.”
