Made In Chelsea stars Ollie and Gareth Locke were evicted from their £4million London home on Wednesday. 

The reality stars packed up their belongings and moved out of the property after being forced to leave over a £25,000 bill in rent - which remains unpaid. 

The couple, who have two-year-old twins, enlisted Davis And Mac removal firm for the job - a company which moved Emily Atack into her new country home last week. 

It is not known whether Ollie, 38, and Gareth, 37, paid for their services, but Ollie was seen documenting the move on his phone. 

The pair are said to be at risk of bankruptcy. The £25,000 owed covers three months' rent plus a fine. They were evicted after failing to pay their rent and settle outstanding costs by January 3. 

Daily Mail has contacted Ollie's representatives for comment.

Ollie and Gareth lived with a tenant who paid her rent directly to them, only to later discover 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 series, Our Daddy Diaries.

A source told the Daily Mail the Chelsea couple 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 's on the very day they were told their eviction, scheduled for March 2, was imminent. 

A source revealed earlier this month: '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.'
