'Big Brother: Power Trip' star Mark Byron is reportedly set to get a visit from bailiffs.
The psychic claims he can predict the future, but he might be getting a visit he didn't see coming when his landlord David Dowie takes him to court over allegedly not paying his rent.
The flamboyant TV star is said to owe £1,414 in rent for his London flat and furious property owner David is considering sending bailiffs into the 'Big Brother' house to claim the £5,000 prize Mark was given by power housemate Pauline Bennett on launch night earlier this month.
He ranted to the Daily Star newspaper: "I was watching 'Big Brother' and he was sat in the diary room and had won that money. He was saying he was going to used it to buy a pug dog. I don't have someone living in that flat for the high life, it is because it helps to balance the books."
A court spokesperson revealed a warrant had already been issued against the 24-year-old reality star, and a letter demanding Mark pay his debt within five days has been sent to the Elstree TV Studios in Hertfordshire.
A Channel 5 spokesperson added: "We will deal with any legal procedures as is required."

'Coronation Street's Gary Windass is to have an affair with newcomer Alya Nazir.
The builder - played by Mikey North - is set to cheat on his girlfriend Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) after he finds himself in bed with the beautiful receptionist (Sair Khan) following a boozy night out.
However, the flame-haired hunk's world will come crashing down when he discovers his one night stand actually lives on the cobbles and is the daughter of gym instructor Kal Nazir (Jimi Mistry).
Gary begs Alya to keep his dirty little secret under wraps, but she threatens to expose his naughty antics to wheelchair-bound Izzy, who is also the mother of his infant son Jake.
In scenes to be screened later this month, Gary pleads: "Please don't tell anyone about last night. I messed up. She's not my wife, but I have never cheated on her before. I really regret it."
However, feisty Alya leaves Gary fearing the future of his relationship after she snaps back: "The mother of your child? Who is lovely, by the way. Why didn't you tell me about her last night? Slipped your mind, did it? You wanted to get me into bed. Mentioning her and your child might have spoiled your plans.
"You really know how to make a girl feel special. Izzy deserves to know about the sleaze-ball she's going out with."
Meanwhile, newcomer Sair's sexy storyline meant she was forced to lock lips with Mikey on the second day of filming on the ITV soap, but she insists her co-star made her feel totally at ease.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said: "It was really surreal, such an odd experience. But Mikey was great and helped me out."

Rik Mayall has died.
The actor passed away this morning (09.06.14) aged 56, his agent has confirmed, though no further details have been released as yet.
The comedian was best known for his comedy partnership with Adrian Edmondson and appearances in anarchic sitcoms 'The Young Ones' and 'Bottom', as well as scene-stealing Lord Flashheart in 'Blackadder'.
He also appeared on the big screen in 'Drop Dead Fred' and 'Guest House Paradiso'.
Rik's death comes 16 years after he was involved in a near-fatal quad biking accident which left him in a coma and suffering from epilepsy.
He is survived by his wife Barbara Robbin and their three children Rosie, Sidney and Bonnie.
Just last year the actor admitted he was "desperate" to work on proposed 'Bottom' spin-off 'Hooligan's Island' - which was to be based on the 1997 tour of the same name - but Adrian wasn't keen to do it just yet.
He said: "I thought it would be fun and Ade thought it would be fun but then he had a change of heart. It's a shame.
"Of course, I f***ing tried to persuade him to change his mind. But if he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to.
"I'm desperate to do it. I thought it would be lovely to have them in a different situation and being much older.
"Ade said we weren't old enough to be mad old b******s - but if we leave it another ten years, how the f**k are we going to do anything?"

Kiefer Sutherland fears he is too old to continue '24'.
The 45-year-old star isn't sure he can sustain playing action man Jack Bauer in the hit counter-terrorism drama - which was recently revived for a new season, '24: Live Another Day', three years after it initially ended - and worries his body can't keep up with the death-defying stunts required for the role.
Kiefer is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "I have loved bringing Jack back and my heart says I want to play him until I am an old man. But my head says that now is the right time to stop.
"There are no plans to kill Jack off, and while he is alive I guess there is always a chance for a new season. But at the moment there are no plans."
While his famous role has earned him numerous accolades, the Emmy Award-winning actor admits he can't quite fathom how he managed to film 192 episodes of '24' during its initial run from 2001 to 2010.
Kiefer explained: "Physically, '24' is a hard show to do. I look back and see we did 192 episodes over eight seasons. I don't know how we did it. It makes you want to go take a nap."

He also talks about the day he found Stuart's body in his swimming pool after a party at his home 13 years ago.
Michael said: "I just froze. That was my very first thought. I ran back into the house to get help, then the two boys started giving CPR and then the ambulance was called for and that in turn calls the police. And I was stood ... just in complete shock.
"The first thing I did wasn't run away, the first thing I did was run to get help."

'The Only Way is Essex' cast's plane was grounded due to excess weight.
The reality stars delayed their flight to Marbella, Spain - where they are filming a special episode - by an hour after the pilot refused to take-off due to the plane being 200kg overweight.
'TOWIE' stars James 'Arg' Argent, 26, Jasmin Walia, 23, and Bobby Cole Norris, 24, were the main reason for the delayed flight after they were accused of over-packing for the 10-day trip with several suitcases each.
Bobby told the Daily Star newspaper: "The pilot said we were 200kg overweight and people had to get off. They said they'd give each volunteer £100 and a flight from Luton but no-one budged."
Eventually four passengers agreed to get off the plane and travel to the sunny destination on a later flight.
Bobby added: "The attendant said, 'This hasn't happened in my whole career!' and I said, 'You've never had TOWIE on board, baby!' "
Meanwhile, the reality TV stars were read the riot act by show bosses yesterday (07.06.14) following co-star Mario Falcone's suspension after he was allegedly caught on camera snorting cocaine on a night out three months ago.
Show hunk Elliott Wright believes he and his co-stars have a responsibility to their young fans to behave appropriately.
He told The Sun newspaper: "Of course being on 'TOWIE' comes with responsibilities. We all act silly sometimes but I can't afford to be seen in that light. From my point of view you do have to be careful. You make choices.
"You have to be careful what you say and what you do."

Collabro get sent naked pictures from older women.
The 'Britain's Got Talent' winners have been inundated with raunchy pictures and messages by middle-aged housewives and are grateful to have inspired such passion among a more "mature" fanbase.
Jamie Lambert, the operatic boy band's frontman, told The Sun newspaper: "They're not so much girl fans as older women fans. We've had a few lingerie pictures - a lot of them are from, er, mature women. We applaud them for their confidence.
"We were just a bit surprised when it started happening ... we were like, 'Bloody hell, have you seen this?' It's very surreal. It's weird when you're on the tube looking at your notifications and a naked picture comes up and you're like, 'Oh!' "
The five friends scored over a quarter of the votes on Saturday night (07.06.14) and were shocked to discover they were more popular than Bars and Melody, Lucy Kay and Paddy & Nico.
Jamie added: "We got the percentages through on the night. We got over a quarter of the votes which is incredible when there are 11 acts."
Collabro are meeting with 'BGT' boss Simon Cowell this week to discuss a potential record deal with his Syco label
Matt Pagan added: "One Direction really established themselves as the kind of band they wanted to be. Simon said that's what he liked about us - that we've chosen musical theatre and we're sticking with it."
