Chris Eubank 'Homeless'

    Sounds like he's a real life Alan Partridge...

    FALLEN millionaire boxer Chris Eubank's money troubles have left him HOMELESS and ALONE.


    The once swaggering ex-world middleweight champ has been forced to swap his lavish ways for a sad, lonely life in a hotel room.


    The 42-year-old dandy-who earned more than £35million from the ring-has lived at the hotel in Brighton for FOUR MONTHS because he has nowhere else to stay.


    Staff say he is a "loner" who sips lime and sodas in the hotel bar, then surfs the internet in his room at night.


    Lisping Eubank was a hero to millions of British boxing fans in the 90s.

    But he was delivered a knockout blow by the Inland Revenue in 2005, when he was declared bankrupt owing £1.3million in unpaid taxes. Once so rich he used Evian water to wash his hands at petrol stations, Eubank now treats himself to sweets from Tesco's across the street from his £149-a-night MyHotel pad in the Sussex town.


    "We don't think of him as a guest any more, he lives here," said one worker. "He'll talk to fans and sign autographs. But we never see him taking a woman up to his room.

    "Sometimes he'll get a massage in the hotel spa. Other than that, he keeps to himself."


    Eubank was attracted by the hotel's New Age theme. It has a feng shui design to "refresh your soul" and rooms have a decor of crystals and lotus flowers.


    He was forced to move there after selling his £4m Brighton mansion and another £850,000 former home in nearby Hove to pay off his debts.

    Last year ex-wife Karron, 43, told how Chris had begun globe-trotting to exotic spots. But now he has been deserted by his circle of hangers-on and is having to watch every penny.


    A friend told us: "The good times are over and the day of reckoning has finally arrived.


    "Chris just drinks Evian now, rather than washing in it."

    He can't be doing that bad if he's holed up in 150 quid a night hotel.

    The 150 quid a night equates to over 50k a year. I assume he has some cash left if thats the case. I hope it is only temporary.

    Yeah for 4 and a half grand a month I'm sure he could rent somewhere pretty nice if he chose to. Some people like living in hotels because it's a really easy life.

    Typical media drivel. So poor but in a £150 a night hotel. Four months of £150 isn't cheap.
