MINDER star Gary Webster has revealed he is still clearing debts he built up when he was declared bankrupt 18 years ago.<\/p>\n
The actor and his TV presenter wife Wendy found themselves broke and homeless after Gary couldn\u2019t come up with the \u00a325,000 that he owed the taxman.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
But although his career is now on the up, he has admitted he is still paying back the money he owes.<\/p>\n
Gary, 59, explained: "We are stable and we are working and things are getting better, so we are on the way up, which is lovely, but it doesn\u2019t happen overnight.<\/p>\n
"A drug addict or an alcoholic, they go into the Priory for four weeks and expect the excesses of 20 years before to be over in four weeks. It\u2019s not like that.<\/p>\n
"Nobody gets into debt overnight, it\u2019s over a period of time, so if you\u2019ve been struggling for ten years it will take you about ten years," he told Kaye Adams on her How to be 60 podcast.<\/p>\n
