Michael Flatley has been living the “lifestyle of a Monaco millionaire” by borrowing money, and has an “insatiable appetite” for “lifestyle cash”, a court in Belfast has heard.

Lawyers representing Mr Flatley in the fight to clear an interim injunction said he had secured half a million euros “overnight” to end his agreement with the company blocking him from engaging with stage show The Lord Of The Dance.
