Former Reality TV Star Humiliated by Bankruptcy

Grant Bovey, former contestant of reality TV show Hell’s Kitchen, confessed to feeling humiliated by his current financial problems that will lead to his bankruptcy filing later this week. An entrepreneur, Bovey has also had five of his companies fold up over the last few years resulting in £50 million of debt, largely from his property companies.

Bovey details his humiliation and anguish especially when he had to disclose his financial problems to his children. Not wanting to have them read it in the newspapers or hear it through other sources, Bovey explained to his children everything about his financial woes, an experience he described as humiliating. The hardest thing, according to Bovey, was explaining things to his daughter, Lily. Not even having to talk to his wife, TV star Anthea Turner, was more difficult. Bovey admitted that he felt he had let many people down, including his wife, children and many others who had faith in him.

Once worth more than £100 million, it all virtually disappeared within a short period of time for Grant Bovey. Everything happened so quickly for Bovey and when they did, he described it like ‘trying to turn round an oil tanker’. Every day, Bovey would be down by £1 million here and another million there.

Bovey’s wife Anthea also expressed her personal anxiety over their financial situation as she admitted that it had put a strain on her marriage with Bovey. At the same time, she expressed her pragmatism in declaring that their problems had served to bring the family closer together in the long term. While musing that many marriages of other celebrity couples have fallen apart under less pressure than theirs, she stated her preference of having to deal with financial problems over infidelity issues with Bovey.

Bovey’s financial problems have taught him one important lesson – the true value of a good family. Although it had been difficult to keep going, the support he receives from Anthea and his children have been vital.
