Villagers have lost thousands of pounds in savings after a musical organised by their church which was set for an arena tour featuring Russell Watson went bust with debts of £2.6million.

Around 30 people living in Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire, are owed a total of £500,000 between them. 

Now they are facing financial ruin, with some even remortgaging their homes to help fund the International Church's production, reports the BBC.

Congregation members were told they were 'giving to God' by helping with Heaven on Earth, which is based on the story of Adam and Eve.

The show, which was meant to have a six-month nationwide tour, starred Kerry Ellis and Hugh Maynard, as well as Mr Watson as the voice of God.

Just three weeks before the tour was meant to kick off, the show went bust. It is believed to be one of the largest ever debts from a collapsed theatre production.  

Yessika Oakley, 34, told the BBC her family had donated thousands of pounds to the church for the production.

She said: 'Because they did it in the name of God, they were put under the pressure that if you didn't give, you're not being faithful and God isn't going to be very happy with you.

'What's wrong with all of it is that it was somebody's dream. And it's OK to have a dream, but don't use other people's money for it. They should have never used people's money.'

People working on the production, as well as the arenas booked, are also owed money.

Although villagers were told God would provide the rest of the money needed, it ran out of money in late 2017, and Eden International Productions went into administration.

The church itself has also gone into liquidation thanks to the failure of the glitzy show. 

The liquidation of the two organisations means the villagers affected are unlikely to get their money back.

One of the directors from Eden International Productions told the BBC they were sorry for those who had lost money, but added it was given on a 'free will' basis.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
