Clarissa Dickson Wright, the beloved BBC chef and star of 'Two Fat Ladies,' died with virtually no money to her name, leaving behind a legacy of financial struggles.
According to records, she had only £9,000 in her bank account when she passed away in March 2014 at the age of 66.
Despite inheriting £2.8 million from her mother in 1975, she squandered the entire fortune within 12 years due to her battle with alcoholism and was declared bankrupt three times.
Despite these challenges, she was determined to leave something for her family.
Her possessions were sold at auction, raising approximately £40,000, which was used to settle a £17,000 tax bill owed to HM Revenue and Customs.
Her goddaughter, Sara Wain-Heapy, ultimately inherited £33,000.
Close friend and solicitor Derek Morris stated that the auction made her estate 'solvent,' which was what she had wanted.
He described her as a 'delightful character' who was also 'very generous to people.' A range of items, including a sketch by her artist friend Joseph Oppenheimer, a gun-cleaning kit, and 19th-century kitchen tools, were sold.
Clarissa became the youngest barrister in Britain at age 21 before pursuing her culinary career.
She overcame her alcohol addiction and remained sober for 27 years.
She joined Jennifer Paterson in 1996 for the BBC2 show 'Two Fat Ladies,' which featured the duo traveling the country on a motorbike with a sidecar.
After Paterson's death in 1999, Dickson Wright claimed she was fired by the BBC after her pro-hunting views angered then-prime minister Tony Blair.
