Gillian Filan is being sued by a vulture fund in America.

This comes as another financial hit for the Filan Family.

Former Westlife star, Shane Filan filed for bankruptcy back in 2012 with huge debts before exiting a year later.

The exact details of the case are currently unclear.

“The wife of former Westlife singer Shane Filan is being sued in the High Court by a US vulture fund.

“The case is being taken against Gillian Filan (38) by a subsidiary of Cerberus, which bought a number of mortgage debts she and her husband had with Ulster Bank.

“High Court records indicate the case was initiated by lawyers for the fund on Thursday.

“It is unclear what specific issue is at the heart of the case against Mrs Filan as papers have yet to be filed,” reports Independent.ie

Shane and Gillian are living in Sligo and are parents to three children.

Shane embarked on a solo career following his money woes and he is currently performing a big headline theatre tour.
