OXO Mum’s Bitter Will Dispute

MUCH loved actress Lynda Bellingham died from cancer at the age of 66 in October, 2014. But while the nation was united in grief, a bitter dispute erupted about her will.

Lynda – star of ITV’s Loose Women, the BBC’s All Creatures Great and Small and the Oxo adverts in the 1980s and 1990s – left everything to her third husband Michael Pattemore. However, there appears to be no love lost between her widower and two sons from her second marriage.

Michael and Robbie Peluso, who did not attend the wedding, are mounting a legal challenge after claims they were given just £750 each and were evicted from the family home by text message. They say their mum told them that she would leave all her money to Pattemore but that the boys would be “looked after”.

A frustrated Pattemore, who has since bought a £600,000 house and enjoyed a round-the- world trip, told the national press the will was “still going through probate”.
