Legal Issues
In 2024, footballer Joe Bunney claimed that Prescott and partner Amy Lythgoe were squatting in a property that belonged to Bunney, after their tenancy agreement had come to an end. This left Bunney’s grandfather, who was planning to move into the property, homeless. Prescott ‘strongly denied’ these claims, and along with Lythgoe, filed a £60,000 libel and defamation case against Bunney at the High Court.
