Made In Chelsea Star Ollie Locke Evicted from £4 Million Home Over Unpaid Rent
Ollie Locke and his husband Gareth have been forced to leave their luxurious Chelsea townhouse after failing to settle a substantial rent debt. The couple, who are parents to two-year-old twins, now face the looming threat of bankruptcy following their eviction.
Eviction Details and Financial Struggles
The eviction stems from an outstanding bill of £25,000, which covers three months of unpaid rent plus additional fines. According to sources, Ollie and Gareth had been struggling to meet their monthly rental payments for nearly a year, despite living in one of London's most affluent areas near King's Road. They were given a deadline of January 30 to clear the debt but missed it, accruing further fees and leading to their removal from the property.
The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home, which they had rented since 2023, served as the backdrop for their YouTube series, Our Daddy Diaries. Insiders reveal that the couple continued to maintain a lavish lifestyle, indulging in luxury overseas holidays, stays in country homes, and dinners at high-end London restaurants like Scott's, even as their financial troubles mounted.
Post-Eviction Sightings at Binky Felstead's Home
Just two days after being seen loading their belongings into a removal van, the pair were spotted at the home of their Made In Chelsea co-star, Binky Felstead. In a social media clip shared by Binky, she humorously referred to the visit by joking, 'Got the squatters over.' Another video showed Ollie casually drinking wine and reminiscing about their pre-fame days, recalling how 'skint' Binky once was.
During the move, which involved the Davis And Mac removal firm—the same company used by Emily Atack recently—Ollie was seen carrying shopping bags while Gareth handled their dogs. Notable items included a £2,000 Louis Vuitton holdall and a £1,130 Rimowa suitcase, highlighting the contrast between their opulent possessions and dire financial situation.
Tenant Fallout and Additional Controversies
Complicating matters further, a tenant living in the property who paid rent directly to Ollie and Gareth is now facing potential financial difficulties. Despite making timely payments, the money was allegedly not passed on to the landlord and may have been used to fund the couple's extravagant lifestyle. This has left the tenant in a precarious position, with possible fallout from the eviction.
Adding to the drama, insiders claim that on the very day they were informed of their imminent eviction, scheduled for March 2, Ollie and Gareth jetted off to Barbados on a free Caribbean cruise with TOWIE star Lydia Bright. This move has drawn criticism as it appears to underscore their disregard for their mounting debts.
Representatives for Ollie Locke were contacted by the Daily Mail for comment but have not yet responded. The situation continues to unfold, with the couple's future uncertain as they navigate both eviction and bankruptcy risks.
