EXCLUSIVE: Bankrupt Blonde Ambition writer Samantha Phillips faces claims she owes widower £350k after living at his property on the Côte d Azur for SEVEN YEARS - as she is evicted from £35m Fulham home in a row over £1m in unpaid rent
Ms Phillips and her businessman partner Mehmet Sozbilir, 59, moved in to the beautiful property in the south of France in 2012
The couple told owner Simon Sladen, 77, that they wanted to rent his home with an option to buy after a year and paid a year s rent of €65,000 up front
At the end of the year the parties agreed a sale price of €1.75m and exchanged contracts
Phillips says she rented property for a year at £14,000 a week with no problem
But last March the owner wanted her to buy the property outright, she alleges
She then agreed to an insane, crazy contract of two years rent for £1.85 million
But her inability to pay has led to bankruptcy and now an impending eviction
Phillips has to leave by May 4, despite offering a painting as security for debts
She claims art is worth £20m but landlord-commission expert valued it at £30k
