Britain’s Got Talent’s George Sampson posts heartfelt message to family after revealing he’s taking his mum to court to evict her
The young dancer has spoken out for the first time since his bitter legal dispute with his mother was revealed
GEORGE Sampson has taken to Instagram to pay tribute to his family after it was revealed he is taking his mother to court to evict her from his house.
The 23-year-old Britain’s Got Talent winner posted a picture of a family meal simply captioned: “Family. There when I need them”, and featured George sitting at a restaurant table alongside eight relatives.
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.
“He has a life in London now, and he also needs to support himself.”
George declined to comment.
He isn’t the first star to fall out with his mum – here are some of the worst celebrity-parent feuds of all time.
