Cheryl Baker has been left “broke” because of the coronavirus pandemic. The Fizz singer – whohas 26-year-old twin daughters Kyla and Natalie with husband Steve – admitted the last 12 months have been “hard” because she’s had so little work on, while also faced with a hefty tax bill because of a successful few years before the pandemic.
She said: “I haven’t worked for a year. We had one virtual gig and that was our only income. It’s been ridiculously hard… “I owe lots of tax and VAT because I had a great year three years ago. "But because I had that great year, I now can’t claim anything from the government. “So I’ve had to ring the VAT and tax people and say, ‘You’re going to have to put it on hold. ’ But that’s the only thing I can do.
