In a candid chat, actor Charlie Lawson has shared his current financial struggles, admitting the soaring energy costs have hit hard as he reveals being unable to afford heating in his home.
The situation was exacerbated when his wife Debbie had to shut down her Cheshire farm shop, propelling them into a legal quagmire over debts close to £50,000.
Opening up on The Nolan Show, Charlie expressed: "2024 is the most unsuccessful year I've had in 44 years. And there are a lot of issues to do with that. I've got lots of white hair, I'm 64 and there are less parts around."
When Stephen Nolan probed about how he manages his finances currently, Charlie revealed: "I work for GB News at the moment and I've got to renegotiate that contract next year and my wife Debbie runs a women's refuge," reports the Mirror .
He also discussed the measures they've taken to cope, admitting: "You have lean times, I mean last year the heat was on all the time in the winter, this year it will not be."
He elaborated: "Debbie is manager of a women's refuge, she has a wage. I have a wage at the moment until January so we're all right but we haven't been abroad this year, we don't eat in The Ivy when we go back to Belfast. You cut your cloth. I live 50ft from a local bar in my village - The Rodney so I don't have to get a taxi there, I can walk there and get a tab. There are a lot of people worse off than me. We have two incomes coming into the house - they're not huge but we're better off than an awful lot of people."
