CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER - HAPPY MONDAYS' BEZ DECLARED BANKRUPT FOR SECOND TIME

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.
