Cheeky Girls mum denies bankruptcy threat

The Cheeky Girls’ mother laughed off suggestions today that the pair are facing bankruptcy proceedings over a VAT bill.

Margit Semal said a mix-up led to court papers being filed in London demanding payment of a £4,500 (€6,662) VAT bill from the Transylvanian twins, who shot to fame in 2002 after appearing on ITV’s Popstars.
