Chris Tucker has been forced to sell two of his luxury homes in order to pay back anm $11million tax bill.

It has emerged earlier this year that the comedian had received the hefty bill for not making payments between the years 2001-2006, and it was rumoured that he would have to sell his homes in order to settle the bill.

Those rumours came true in October as Chris sold two of his Florida homes, and he had to settle with less than the asking price. Chris sold one of the residences in the 'sunshine state' for a little over $1m (638,000), less than the $1.5m (£957,000) he paid for it.

His second home in Lake County was sold for $2m (£1.2m), again, less than the $6m (£3.8m) he paid for it. Chris is alleged to have owed $4.4m (£2.8m) on the home which was facing foreclosure.

It is not all bad news for Chris though as he is currently in talks to star in the fourth instalment of Friday alongside Ice Cube.
