Bankrupt Swash says he'll pay tax bill

Actor and 'I'm A Celebrity ...' winner Joe Swash has said he will settle a tax bill "imminently" after being made bankrupt.

The former 'EastEnders' star had a "tax issue" and a bankruptcy order was made this week.

However he is aiming to discuss the matter with the Official Receiver when the payment is settled to reverse the order.

The actor can currently be seen appearing with actress Pamela Anderson in Living TV's 'Pamela Anderson: At Home With Joe'.

Swash's agent said: "There was a tax issue for which the final payment is imminent and once made discussions will be held with the Official Receiver to seek to reverse the bankruptcy order. Everyone has to pay tax and Joe knows he is no exception."
