The acrimonious battle over George Michael’s £105 million fortune has taken a new turn, as his ex-partner Kenny Goss has decided to challenge the superstar’s will.

Michael is believed to have left his money and properties – including the house in Oxfordshire where he died of heart and liver disease on Christmas Day 2016 – to his sisters Melanie and Yioda.

The will is already being disputed by Fadi Fawaz, the Lebanese hairdresser who had a five-year romance with Michael before his death.

But The Mail on Sunday has learned that Goss, the star’s ex-boyfriend of 15 years, has also instructed lawyers to mount a claim for a substantial portion of the legacy, on the grounds that he supported Michael through his most turbulent years. One friend said: ‘George always told Kenny he would look after him, see him right and that he would not want for anything. They were together for many years and Kenny looked after him so much. He doesn’t feel the will reflects this.’

Goss last year spoke of how he protected Michael, flushing his drugs down the toilet to try to curb his addiction. He refused to comment last night.

Earlier this year, Michael’s family were left devastated when Fawaz hired a lawyer in his fight over the fortune. He has also refused to move out of the star’s £6 million three-bedroom Central London mansion and says he is selling off some of the singer’s possessions because he is broke.
