Tina Malone, Shameless Actress, 'Declared Bankrupt'

'Shameless' Actress Declared Bankrupt

Times are tough for Tina Malone - the Shameless star has been declared bankrupt, according to The Sun.

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant is thought to be on £150,000 a year for playing foul-mouthed Mimi Maguire on the hit Channel 4 series, but she's now fallen into financial trouble after failing to pay back a friend who loaned her £25,000.

Ironically, Tina borrowed the cash to start up a life-coaching firm.

A source told The Sun: "Tina borrowed it to start a life-coaching company before Shameless. She promised to pay her friend back but never did.

"Tina was ordered by the court to pay back the money in April 2010 but she just ignores the orders."

The bankruptcy order was filed against her by solicitors Lees and Partners on behalf of creditors. Tina wasn't in court when a judge signed the petition against her at Manchester Civil Justice Centre on Monday.
