Corrie’s Phil Middlemiss declared bankrupt

FORMER Corrie star Phil Middlemiss has been declared bankrupt.

Broke Phil, 48, who played bookie Des Barnes for eight years, racked up a huge
tax bill he could not pay off.

His troubles began when he went to Africa to direct a film he partly funded
before it went bust.

The skint actor, who lives in Bury, Greater Manchester, said: “It has been a
difficult time.

“Three-and-a-half years is a long time to fund myself without any income.

“I have had to get money from family and friends.”

Last week we revealed how his co-star Beverley Callard, barmaid Liz McDonald,
was served with a bankruptcy order over unpaid tax.
