Former Strictly Star and Rugby Ace Escapes Bankruptcy as HMRC Can't Find His Address

A former England and British and Irish Lions rugby player, Ugo Monye, 41, found himself in a peculiar situation as HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) failed to locate his address, allowing him to escape bankruptcy.

High Court Drama

Despite a bankruptcy petition being filed against Ugo Monye after his appearance on Strictly in 2021, the High Court revealed that the papers couldn't be served as HMRC was unable to find his current address, leading to the withdrawal of the petition.

The Mysterious Address

Ugo Monye, now a sports broadcaster, continues to make appearances on television and radio, including his participation in Strictly Come Dancing 2021 and his contributions to BBC Radio 5 Live and TNT Sports.

Financial Troubles and Company Closure

Reports of financial issues surfaced in January, following the closure of Monye's company, Show Me The Monye, by HMRC due to unpaid taxes and social security contributions amounting to nearly £200,000.

A Career Rollercoaster

Ugo Monye faced challenges not only in his financial matters but also in his career, as the BBC's show, A Question of Sport, which he was a part of, faced cancellation in 2023 after a controversial revamp led to a decline in viewership.

Current Engagements

Despite the setbacks, Ugo continues to work on the Rugby Union Weekly podcast for the BBC and remains a pundit for TNT Sports, showcasing his versatility and resilience in the face of adversity.
