But debts at Prestbury’s Farm Shop have passed £50,000 with liquidators’ fees of £14,500 included.

The 64-year-old, last seen in the soap in 2018, has been threatened with legal action.

Liquidators claim Lawson and his wife Debbie “may be unfit to be involved with managing the affairs of a company in the future”.

But they also admitted there is little likelihood of any funds being available to pay creditors.
