Kate Lawler has revealed she has ‘broken the law’ and ended up locked in a dispute with her neighbour.
The Big Brother winner, 45, took to Instagram on Sunday to share that she had got herself into ‘trouble’ with her neighbour after painting the back of their shed.
Kate revealed that her gardener had painted it because because she didn’t like the colour of it, but her neighbour was furious she had done so without permission and the TV personality later discovered it was in fact illegal, and considered trespᴀssing.
She quickly took to social media to explain her predicament and sparked a nationwide debate as some agreed with her that they wouldn’t care, while others were horrified that she had painted someone else’s property.
‘Why do I always get myself in these situations?’ Kate wrote. ‘I’m in trouble with my neighbour for painting the back of their shed a different colour. Won’t be doing it again as in hindsight I know I should have asked first, but I didn’t think it would be a big deal given that they can’t see it?
‘It has made me wonder though… Would you be annoyed if you discovered the back of your shed (which you couldn’t see) had been painted by the neighbour whose garden backed on to yours?

‘Have you had a similar fall out with your neighbour? Basically, am I an a***hole and should I buy them flowers and a box of milk tray to apologise?’
The next day Kate again took to social media to reveal she had since discovered it was illegal.
‘I’ve just found out I’ve broken the law,’ she began. ‘Um… I found out that me painting someone’s shed is actually illegal. I can’t believe I didn’t know this. Genuinely I did not know that me leaning over the end of my garden, sorry not me my gardener, that him leaning over the end of our garden and into somebody’s else’s garden and painting the back of their shed is trespᴀssing.
‘Um… so I’m sorry if that offends you and I’m sorry to my neighbour because I didn’t know that what I was doing was illegal and I also, genuinely, I just didn’t think someone would mind me painting the back of their shed which they couldn’t see and I know that a lot of you would.
‘And that’s what’s so interesting about this debate because it has sparked a nationwide debate.’
She continued; ‘Half the people in the comments of my last video wouldn’t care either. I genuinely wouldn’t care if somebody paint. In fact if you want to paint the back of my shed go for it, it just wouldn’t bother me.
‘We’re all different, we’re all human beings, none of us are the same. Some of you would care, some of you wouldn’t. That was the question I was asking more. I’m not asking if what I did was wrong. I know what I’ve done was wrong, I know it was illegal, now, I didn’t know it at the time otherwise I wouldn’t have done it but I’ll never do it again.
‘So don’t be like me. Don’t paint the back of somebody’s shed without asking first because it is illegal, it is trespᴀssing. And what a debate! It is quite fascinating. Anyway… I’ll leave it there.’

Kate also captioned her video: ‘WARNING! Do not lean into your neighbours garden and paint the back of their shed / fence or anything as it’s actually illegal. It’s considered trespᴀssing or vandalism, which I genuinely didn’t realise I at the time.
‘So like I suggested in my previous video, I’m going to buy them a sorry present and apologise. Sorry if I offended you in my actions too.
‘Just remember what Albert Einstein once said…. The man who never made any mistakes never made anything x.’
It comes day after Kate had fans in sтιтches as she shared a behind-the-scenes video of her battle with a SKIMS unitard ahead of the BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday night.
Kate took to Instagram to document her hilarious ordeal trying to squeeze into the ultra-snug shape wear from Kim Kardashian’s clothing line.
Standing in front of the camera in the skin-toned bodysuit, Kate exclaimed: ‘Have I ripped the crotch or do these actually have pee holes in them?’
The clip then rewound to the former reality star puffing and panting as she tried to wrangle the skinтιԍнт garment into place, at one point gasping: ‘Oh God, it’s on.’

With visible relief but growing concern, she added: ‘I can’t breathe,’ as she tried to catch her breath from the effort.
Surveying herself in the mirror, Kate joked: ‘I tell you what – it’s skin-coloured that’s for sure. That is a camel’s hoof if ever I did see one.’
Still unconvinced by the underwear’s comfort or design, she delved further into the mystery of the crotch area.
‘I can’t work out if I’ve torn the crotch or if there’s a pee hole in there,’ she said, frowning.
Then came her final verdict: ‘If there is a pee hole in there, it means I can’t wear it. The hole is encouraging my tuppence to move outwards.’
She then added: ‘It’s a big fat no’.
