The forced sale of the couple's 'matrimonial' home had been reported in a liquidation update for Ant's company Sway and Starting.
Filed at Companies House, a Progress Report on the 'media representation' business, stated: 'During the period a settlement was entered into with the director whereby he would pay £300,000 in full and final settlement of his overdrawn Directors Loan Account.
'The director failed to adhere to the payment plan and only one instalment was received.
'A statutory demand was served on the Director with a view to petitioning for his bankruptcy. He subsequently agreed to sell his matrimonial home and provide the remainer of the amount owed under the settlement agreement.'

Cash boost for thousands of Irish homeowners as big mortgage savings expected after ECB cut rates for 8th time this year
HOMEOWNERS are set for more savings after the European Central Bank cut interest rates today for the eighth time this year. Tracker mortgage holders will see their rates automatically cut from 2.25 per cent to two per cent, while also putting downward pressure on other rates.

Advertisement READ MORE IN MONEY However, domestic While personal spending on goods and services grew by just 0.6 per cent. Employees saw a 0.9 per cent rise in wages. Assistant Director General with responsibility for National Accounts & Price Statistics, Chris Sibley, said the growth was driven by a 'significant growth in exports of goods'. Advertisement Most read in Money He said: 'Overall, the multinational-dominated sector rose by 12.4 per cent in the quarter.

Trump doubles steel and aluminium tariffs and threatens China and its 'shoddy' exports in latest trade war escalation 'This was reflected in personal spending increasing by 0.64 per cent and growth in wages of 0.94 per cent over the same period.' Economist at audit, tax and consulting firm RSM UK and RSM Ireland, Thomas Pugh, said there was a 'strong start' to 2025 but there are 'risks abound'. Advertisement 'RISKS & HEADWINDS AHEAD' He said: 'Ireland's domestic economy (on the MDD measure) managed to grow by a solid 0.8per cent . 'However, risks and headwinds are building. Good exports may fall back in Q2 and the pernicious impacts of uncertainty will weigh on consumer confidence and business investment, dragging down growth. 'Looking at GDP as a whole, the clear story was a 12.4 per cent surge in net-exports and a whopping 41.1 per cent increase in capital formation, almost certainly due to firms front-running the imposition of US tariffs in April.' 'STRONG CONSUMPTION' There was strong growth in consumer spending, government expenditure and domestic investment.

Meanwhile, experts are predicting that this might be the last rate cut from the ECB for a while. PAUSE PREDICTION Some investors are already pricing in a pause in July, and some conservative policymakers have also advocated a break to give the ECB a chance to reassess how exceptional uncertainty and policy upheaval both at home and abroad will shift the outlook. Advertisement Following the Governing Council's decision to lower the three key ECB interest rates by 25 basis points, ECB President Christine Lagarde said they are determined to ensure that inflation stabilises sustainably at its two per cent medium-term target. She said: 'In current conditions of exceptional uncertainty, we will follow a data-dependent and meeting-by-meeting approach to determining the appropriate monetary policy stance. 'Our interest rate decisions will be based on our assessment of the inflation outlook in light of the incoming economic and financial data,the dynamics of underlying inflation and the strength of monetary policy transmission.
