Celebrity Big Brother winner and former Happy Mondays' dancer Bez has been declared bankrupt for a second time.
Bez, real name Mark Berry, was declared bankrupt at a high court on Match 31st.
He was previously declared bankrupt in August 2004, a year before he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother.
He went on to win £50,000 on the Channel 4 reality TV show and at the time declared the money would help ease his financial problems.
"I've got bankruptcy on my case, all sorts going on and now I can just pay my bills and walk straight with no stress," Bez said at the time.
"I was in a great deal of trouble. Now I've bailed out and I'm forever grateful."
Bez rose to fame as a dancer with the Manchester band Happy Mondays in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
According to the Insolvency Register, Bez is today described as a "journalist and a musician".
The Happy Mondays recently reformed and released a new album entitled Uncle Dysfunktional in August last year.
