Maxine Reid and Andrew Tate, insolvency practitioners at Reeves & Co, have been appointed as joint trustees after celebrity Kerry Katona was declared bankrupt for second time.

Katona, a band member of Atomic Kitten and Celebrity Big Brother winner in 2011, was declared bankrupt following her own bankruptcy petition at Wigan County Court on 2 July 2013, under the name Kerry Jayne Elizabeth Katona.

Despite this being her second bankruptcy in a five year period, she is expected to be discharged from her bankruptcy after 12 months.

Maxine Reid, joint trustee and director of restructuring at Reeves, said: 'Our primary duty as trustees of a bankruptcy estate is to realise a debtor's assets for the benefit of their creditors. We are therefore in the process of establishing the full extent of Ms Katona's assets and liabilities.'

Separately, a bankrupt plasterer who won £35,000 on the TV show Deal or no Deal has been jailed for not disclosing his winnings to the Official Receiver and his creditors following an investigation by the Insolvency Service.

Andrew Barker was made bankrupt on 23 November 2011, when he declared he owed his creditors £61,438. In April 2012, while still an undischarged bankrupt, he appeared on the programme and won £35,000 which was paid into his account on 2 May 2012.

Instead of declaring the windfall to the Official Receiver, an officer of the Insolvency Service, as required, Barker went on a spending spree, buying plane tickets, hotel stays, jewellery and making large cash withdrawals. By the time the programme aired on 21 August 2012, the entire sum had been removed from the bank account.

Barker pleaded guilty to one count of failing to disclose property acquired after he was made bankrupt to the Official Receiver and one count of failing to hand in that property to the Official Receiver. He was sentenced to 13 weeks imprisonment for each count to run concurrently, and ordered to pay £3,418.36 prosecution costs.

Deputy chief investigation officer Glenn Wicks from the Department for Business Innovation and Skills, said: 'Mr Barker thought he could get away with taking the money he had won and not informing the Official Receiver who could have used it to pay the creditors in his bankruptcy. He had however appeared publically on a television quiz show and was seen by people affected by his actions. This sentence should serve as a reminder that the rules of bankruptcy are there for a reason and must be followed. '
