Linda Bellingham linked to Turkish property fraudTHE

THE turbulent past of the OXO mum’s lover refuses to go away.

Advert star Linda Bellingham’s convict partner Michael Pattemore, 54, has been drawn into the Royal Resorts Turkey property scandal, uncovered by the Olive Press.

It has emerged that Pattemore – who Bellingham calls ‘Mr Spain’ – was a business partner of New Zealander Lionel Andrews, who was arrested last month on suspicions of fraud.

As exclusively reported in the Olive Press, Lionel was picked up by police in Alicante for his role in the Europe-wide investment scam.

Along with his brother Nigel and his wife Margaret, Andrews sold flats in a non-existent Turkish Mediterranean resort.

Prior to setting up the scam, Lionel had a real estate business with Pattemore in Calpe.

Now it seems the Kiwi could soon be going down the way of his former pal.

In the late 90s, Pattemore served two years in prison for fraud, according to the Daily Mail.

Bellingham, who now stars on the UK’s popular daytime show Loose Women, previously said: “Michael has done his stint and it should be left to rest.”
