A bankruptcy order has been filed against the Cheeky Girls, led by the taxman who is seeking to recover £60,000 in unpaid tax.
Accountancy Age understands that Louise Brittain of Baker Tilly could be named as the bankruptcy trustee to recover the money and will examine song rights and the last album released in 2007 as part of efforts to recoup the debts.
A hearing took place last month with Romanian twins Monica and Gabriela Irimia represented by their mother and manager Margit. The case adjourned until early July.
It was reported in August 2006 that the girls whose hit Cheeky Song (Touch my Bum) sold more than a million copies worldwide faced bankruptcy over unpaid VAT, but they claimed it was due to their record company Telstar collapsing in 2004 owing them £2m.
Accountancy Age contacted the Cheeky Girls’ agent but received no comment before going to press.
