1 month ago 19

Constance Hall has been forced to issue a dire warning to fans after putting her online fashion business Queen The Label into voluntary administration

The mother-of-six, 40, took to Facebook on Thursday to announce the brand has gone under but was stunned to find followers were still ordering from the store.

She went on to beg fans not to buy stock from her website because she could not deliver the orders and couldn't issue them refunds.  

'Omg guys please don't buy stock from Queen,' she quickly commented beneath the post about her business going bust.

'Two orders have just come through - I can't deliver orders and and I can't refund them (I'm not allowed to do anything with the money at all).

'I've tried to make every product draft but they keep bouncing back to active for some reason. I don't own the website - I never did so I can't deactivate it.' 

However, chaos ensued as orders kept coming in, leaving Constance scrambling to prevent them and issue refunds from accounts she's 'not supposed to touch'.

She went on to add another desperate message to her post, writing: 'Queens the website is being weird and it's showing products that are available when they aren't.

'I'm franticly trying to refund orders (even though I'm not supposed to touch the accounts) because they are slipping through.

'I can't actually deliver anything from Queen anymore, I would have damn straight had a closing down sale if I could. 

'I'm not the owner of the website so I can't deactivate it or do anything it looks.'

Just hours before her dire warning, Constance announced she was shutting up shop on Queen after being 'stressed out for seven years'.

In a long-winded post, Constance said she 'dreaded' breaking the news, and that administrators will be coming in to sell her remaining stock and repossess her car. 

'I have put Queen The Label into voluntary administration,' she announced to her 1.3million followers. 

'I'm still coming to terms with losing the companies 300k subscribers and my car and the original investment of money. But this is the price of freedom and peace of mind.'

Constance admitted she was heartbroken with the decision, and it's left her feeling like a 'cliché'.

'It's broken my heart, I started the brand on revenue from my books and to have nothing left is a really tough pill to swallow,' she went on.

'I feel like one of those clichés that wins lotto and then has nothing left a decade later.' 

Constance went on to reveal that while all the business's suppliers and wages had been paid, an outstanding loan and tax bill were the catalyst for the closure.

'I thought I could easily pay the remaining tax bill and outstanding loan with a closing down sale,' she said.

'I have paid off way more every year than I owe atm but unfortunately for reasons out of my control I was unable to hold that last sale.'

Constance went on to reveal she's been wrestling with the decision for a week, with the stress of the situation eventually overwhelming her.

'After a week long panic attack with confusion over book work that I simply do not understand, I was told that nobody should have to live with the stress that this company puts on me and my life,' she admitted.

'And they were right. I have been stressed out for 7 years, 7 years of not giving my kids the time they deserve, 7 years of not enjoying my life while the impending doom of not having made enough money hung over me, and it stops now.'

Constance also revealed she was yet to break the news to 'many family or friends' as losing a business was a difficult thing to fathom.

'It's a hard feeling to describe, I'm stressed af but I'm also excited about my future,' she wrote. 

'I know I will be able to pay the debts off, they aren't huge, the never ending divorce trial is finally going to be over at the end of this year,' she continued, referencing that up until recently she was still legally married to her first husband, British carpenter Bill Mahon.

'I feel like I'm about to take a huge breath at the top of the water that's been slowly drowning me for years.'

Just hours before her dire warning, Constance announced she was shutting up shop on Queen after being 'stressed out for seven years' 

Constance also took it upon herself to let her followers know while Queen The Label was no more, her other business which sells homewares and accessories was still intact.  

'The Loverhearts Club isn't going anywhere,' she said.

'It's a small business with only me and my kids to support, only creating the things that bring me joy without the pressures of a huge company landing on my shoulders every morning when I wake up.'

The controversial blogger ended her post on a high.

'I'll be looking hot in my garden pretending life's going just swimmingly if anyone needs me,' she said. 

Constance and partner Denim Cooke share seven children.
