Nicola Roberts has her £1.25million mansion repossessed by the bank

Nicola Roberts has had her stunning £1.25million Surrey mansion repossessed by the bank, it was revealed on Saturday. 

The former Girls Aloud star, 34, was forced to do a mutual deal with the bank so she start afresh after being left terrified of her stalker ex-boyfriend Carl Davies, who sent her 3,000 email and threatened to burn and stab her. 

The singer has explained that it was ‘her own decision’ to go to the bank after the property, which she purchased in 2009, failed to sell at a heavily slashed price of £825,000.  

‘It was my decision’: Nicola Roberts, 34, has had her stunning £1.25million Surrey mansion repossessed by the bank, it was revealed on Saturday 

Speaking to The Sun, Nicola has admitted that she is finally at peace after having her former home repossessed by the bank.

Nicola revealed: ‘It was my decision to go to the bank and ask if they would take the house in exchange for clearing the mortgage.

‘I had been trying to sell the house for years, and was so unhappy there that I decided to take the hit financially in order to move on and find a new property away from the bad memories.’

Nicola was able to secure her belongings from the home – which was first listed in February 2017 – before it was put back on the market, due to the mutual bank agreement.

The star initially took out a mortgage with the bank Coutts, and then went onto transform the Surrey pad with new facilities such as a hi-tech gym, a dreamy walk-in wardrobe, and a terrace overlooking the idyllic gardens.

Nicola’s decision to have her home repossessed came after she was subjected to an ill-fated relationship with Carl Davies, now 44, over ten years ago. 

Davies – who sent Nicola up to 3,000 messages from 35 different accounts, including threats to stab and burn her – was given a suspended 15-month prison sentence by Guildford Crown Court, Surrey in 2017. 

At the time she was also granted a lifetime restraining order last year from the former soldier, who was also banned from looking at her social media posts.

She revealed at the time she was scared to leave her windows open at night or take her dogs for a walk.

Nicola said in a victim impact statement: ‘The messages he sent reminded me of all the terrible things that happened when we were together.

‘It was like walking on eggshells and the constant messaging was bringing all those feelings back.’

Last year, Nicola hit out at the CPS after the prosecution of Carl was dropped because prosecutors thought there was no chance of conviction after he breached the restraining order by following her on social media again. 

She said prosecutors had thought the case was ‘trivial’ because the harassment was taking place online, The Sunday Times reported.

Roberts told the newspaper Davies had started following her again on Instagram after restraining order to let her know that ‘he was still watching me’

Nicola split up with Davies at the height of her fame in 2008 after dating the businessman for 18 months.

She met him in 2007 but decided to call time on their romance after becoming ‘fed up’ of public rows, according to a report at the time.

Nicola soared to fame in 2002 in the successful PopIdol formed group Girls Aloud, which came to an end in 2013.
