Made In Chelsea's Ollie and Gareth Locke face eviction from luxury £4m London home in TWO weeks over £25k in unpaid rent - as they're accused of blowing thousands given to them by housemate and are 'close to bankruptcy'

Made In Chelsea star Ollie Locke and his husband Gareth are facing eviction from their luxury west London home after failing to pay their rent and are believed to be at risk of bankruptcy. 

Ollie, 38, an original cast member on the E4 show when it launched in 2011, and Gareth are understood to owe more than £25,000 in rent on the property, worth a staggering £4,000,000. This includes three months' rent plus a fine.

They lived with a tenant who paid her rent directly to Ollie and Gareth, only to later discover that the money had not been paid to the landlord but she believes was used to 'finance their luxury lifestyle'.

As a result, the tenant, despite keeping up with her payments, could now face the fallout - and potentially be placed in financial difficulty.

The married couple have rented the four-bedroom, four-bathroom property near the affluent King's Road since 2023, often frequenting Notting Hill's Portobello Road and using the home as the setting for their YouTube series, Our Daddy Diaries.  

A source told the Daily Mail that the Chelsea couple, who share two-year-old twins, have been attempting to maintain appearances with luxury overseas holidays, stays in idyllic country homes, and dinners at London's priciest restaurants. 

According to insiders, they even jetted off to Barbados on a free Caribbean cruise with TOWIE's Lydia Bright on the very day they were told their eviction, scheduled for March 2, was imminent. 

A source revealed: 'Ollie and Gareth have struggled to meet their monthly rent payments for almost a year. 

'They live in a very affluent area of London, just a stone's throw from the King's Road, yet have been enjoying the high life, going on Caribbean holidays and dining at places like Scott's, where prices can be extortionate.

'They have failed to pay three months' rent and were warned multiple times about breaching their contract, with a deadline of January 30 to settle their outstanding payments. 

'After missing it, accruing additional fees, they now face the risk of bankruptcy as well as being evicted from their home with their two young children.

'To make matters worse, a tenant living in the property, who paid her rent directly to Ollie and Gareth, has been left in the lurch. 

'After paying on time every month, she trusted the money was passed on to the landlord.' 

A source close to Ollie and Gareth told the Daily Mail: 'This is a simple case of friends falling out and a difference of opinion that has become very sad. It's all petty and is being resolved.' 

They added: 'This is deeply upsetting for Ollie and Gareth. 

'They had become close friends with their tenant - she's even godmother to their children. 

'The relationship turned sour, and they are doing their best to repay the money they owe and restart their lives in a new property.'

After failing to pay their rent and settle outstanding costs by January 30, the couple are now set to be evicted on March 2. 

They share the rented home with their two-year-old twins, who were born via surrogate in July 2023. 

The £4million Chelsea townhouse where Ollie and Gareth have been living boasts four bedrooms and four bathrooms - including two en-suites - as well as a downstairs cinema room and a leafy garden. 

In January, as they fell further behind on rent, the couple jetted off to Barbados on a Caribbean holiday paid for by P&O Cruises, with both Ollie and Gareth sharing sun-soaked Instagram photos marking the trip as an advert. 

P&O Cruises posted on their Instagram profile: 'We loved welcoming @lydiabright and @ollielockeworld on board Arvia in the beautiful Caribbean. 

'They explored breathtaking ports, watched endless oceans views and experienced the magic of everything included in a cruise holiday.'

Earlier this week, Ollie shared glamorous photos from a friend's 40th birthday party held at a castle, where he and Gareth both wore tuxedos and drank champagne, wine and espresso martinis. 

Over the past year, they have attended several red carpet events together, including the BAFTA TV Awards in May and October's Pride of Britain Awards, often coordinating in matching suits or tuxedos. 

The couple announced the birth of their babies in 2023 with an exclusive shoot for Hello! magazine before later posing with the twins on Instagram.

They went on to document their journey into parenthood in a YouTube series titled Our Daddy Diaries, though no new updates have been shared for the past two years. 

The couple also hosted their own podcast, NewlyDads, but have not shared any new episodes or content since February 2024. 

Ollie and Gareth married in November 2020 at London's Natural History Museum, becoming the first same-sex couple to wed at the iconic venue. 

The ceremony was filmed for E4's Made In Chelsea, with co-stars Olivia Bentley and Binky Felstead acting as bridesmaids. 

Ollie signed up to Made In Chelsea when the show first burst onto screens in 2011.

He was famed for his storylines with close friend Binky and was one of the first reality stars to come out on TV.

Throughout his career, he has also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2014 and Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls in September 2016. 

The Daily Mail has approached Ollie and the couple's spokesman for comment.
