Sinitta Reveals Struggles with Homelessness on Loose Women

In a candid appearance on the talk show "Loose Women," singer Sinitta opened up about a challenging period in her life when she was homeless. The '80s pop icon shared that during the '90s, she found herself living in her car after facing financial difficulties, including a significant tax bill. Sinitta admitted she was too embarrassed to seek help from friends, which led her to sell her house to cover her debts, ultimately leaving her without a place to live. The discussion, which included panelists Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan, Dame Kelly Holmes, and Kèllè Bryan, highlighted Sinitta's struggles with managing her finances. She reflected on her decision to sell her home in a panic, stating, "I probably should have taken advice and had a mortgage or something." Sinitta expressed that the most difficult aspect of her experience was not the physical act of living in her car, but the shame and embarrassment that accompanied it, especially as a public figure. Sinitta recounted her efforts to keep her situation hidden, revealing that she had access to water for showers and a storage unit for her clothes, but struggled to afford food. As she spoke about her past, her emotions surfaced, and she fought back tears, emphasizing the stark contrast between her public persona and her private struggles. "On the outside everything looked great and fine, but I was actually sleeping in my car," she said, shedding light on the hidden challenges faced by many.
