On ITV's Loose Women: George Sampson is allegedly taking his mother to court

Britain's Got Talent winner and recent Emmerdale actor George Sampson is reportedly taking his own mother to court.

The street dancer shot to fame on the ITV talent show in 2008 at the age of just 14 winning £100,000 and the chance to perform in The Royal Variety Show.

He is best remembered for his 'singing in the rain' performance but since then has acted in StreetDance 3D movie and dramas like Waterloo road and more recently Emmerdale.

It was reported in May this year in an interview on ITV's Loose Women that the 23-year-old fell out with his mother following the show because money issues put a strain on his family life.

Now according to The Sun, George is taking his mother to High Court to have her evicted from a house that he owns because she is refusing to leave.

George first bought a property with his winnings in his home town of Warrington, Cheshire, in 2008 - a £120,000 end-of-terrace house. But after turning 18 he purchased a second property in London.
