Miquita Oliver has been out of the limelight for a while, but it sounds like her life has been fairly dramatic despite the lack of work. The TV presenter faces bankruptcy after she failed to pay a tax bill of more than £170,000, according to a firm of accountants. A statement released by Baker Tilly Restructuring and Recovery said: "HMRC had petitioned for Miss Oliver to be declared bankrupt for unpaid taxes amounting to £174,514.47.

Geoff Carton-Kelly, who has been appointed Oliver's Trustee, said: "At this stage it is too early to comment on the level of Miss Oliver's assets and the likely return to creditors." Miquita, 27, rose to fame presenting Channel 4's Saturday morning music show, Popworld, with Simon Amstell. The pair hosted the show for five years until they bowed out in 2006, with the somewhat smug presenter going on to host T4 for well ages. Miquita’s publicist said today: "We can confirm that Miquita Oliver filed for bankruptcy in November 2011. She has many projects in the pipeline both here and in the US for 2012."
