Kaye Adams's dispute with HMRC over a potential £124k tax bill is being heard in court for the third time, four years after the legal battle first began.The Loose Women panellist, 60, won a previous court case in 2019, which was then reheard in 2021, with an upper tribunal also siding with the TV star.
