Eddie The Eagle Loses His Biopic Fee, Living In Shed Following Divorce

Eddie Edwards has said that he’s lost nearly all of the £180,000 he earned from ‘Eddie The Eagle’, the biopic movie made about his life, following his divorce. Edwards also revealed that he’s now living in a shed in his garden, surviving mostly on egg sandwiches after the settlement ‘wiped him out’. The British ski jump star, who shot to fame in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, has had to hand over around 85% of his wealth to his now ex-wife Samantha Morton (not the film star).
