"Mr Opik has claimed a total of £68,031 for the flat since 2004. Last year, he claimed £12,655 for extensive renovation work. This included a new kitchen, repainting throughout and the installation of wooden flooring in his bedroom.In a note to the fees office, Mr Opik said the flat was “turning into a bit of a maintenance disaster”.

While most of the work was approved, claims for garden decking and removing a wall between his kitchen and the living room were rejected. " The Daily Telegraph website
