Lovers' Guide star Wendy-Ann Paige was surviving off just £6 a day in her final days and lived 'like a hermit', her partner has revealed. The actress, who shot to fame in the nineties as a sex guru, was found dead at her home in Southend at the age of 61.

At the height of her fame, Ms Paige was a millionaire after her breakout film sold 1.3million copies in Britain and led to her being snapped up on a five-book deal to write about sex and relationships. But following battles with depression and PTSD and a £70,000-a-year cocaine habit, she spent her final few years living on benefits.

The shocking revelation was made by her partner Christian Bines, who told the Sun that on some days Ms Paige 'wouldn't eat' and would 'go without basics'. 'She went from so much money to nothing. She was such a lovely person. Imagine going from all that to where she ended up,' he said.

'We just about got through together, but it was really tough. 'There was never any heating, it was becoming really difficult to pay off the bills she had. Unbelievable isn't it?'. Lovers' Guide star Wendy-Ann Paige has been found dead at home in Southend at the age of 61.
Ms Paige shot to fame in 1991, aged just 28, as the actress in non-fiction movie The Lovers' Guide, which sold 1.3million copies in Britain (pictured with then-partner Tony Duffield). Mr Bines found Ms Paige unresponsive on the morning of December 13. Police officers are investigating the death and a post-mortem is yet to be carried out to determine her cause of death.
