Twink in mortgage promise

Adele King, better known as Twink, hopes to be able to resume full monthly mortgage repayments on her home which is under threat of repossession by a bank, a judge was told yesterday.

Barrister Shaula Connaughton-Deeny told the circuit civil court that a solicitor on behalf of Ms King and her estranged husband, musician David Agnew, had contacted the bank with proposals to renew full repayments.

Ms Connaughton-Deeny, who appeared with Clodagh Buckley of solicitors Ivor Fitzpatrick and Co for the bank, said Ms King indicated she was agreeable to the name of Bank of Scotland, on possession proceedings against her and her husband, being changed to Start Mortgages which had taken over the mortgage debt.
