The mother of Real Madrid star Thibaut Courtois' love child is worried she will be made homeless.
Elsa Izac, 50, fears her damp-ridden £3million property could be repossessed as she owes £63,000 in mortgage payments.
Elsa, mother to seven-year-old Enzo, said, via The Sun: "Our house is falling apart. We simply can’t continue to live like this."
Courtois was ordered to pay Elsa's maintenance in 2020, according to the former Versace fashion designer. The pair had a fling back in 2014, when he moved in next door following his move to Chelsea - they had Enzo three years later.
Elsa added: “I’m scared the bank will repossess our home and worry whenever someone knocks on the door. I don’t want to find us homeless suddenly.

“It is not acceptable for me to see Thibaut travelling on private jets, partying in yachts, then leaving his child here in this environment.
“Surely he can spare a bit more to look after his son?”
Courtois also has an 11-month-old daughter with his wife, and two other children from a previous relationship.

Courtois looks set for a sensational comeback to the Belgian national team - after he stepped down from Belgium duty after a fallout with former boss Domenico Tedesco.
However, he is now set to be welcomed back into the fold, causing current No.1 Koen Casteels to quit.
"It's strange that the football association has turned 180 degrees and is rolling out the red carpet and welcoming him back with open arms," he told Belgian podcast MidMid.

"First of all, I think it's a bit strange that Courtois can decide for himself whether he can come back.
"It is not so much towards Thibaut, but mainly towards the football association. That does not fit in with the standards and values that I have about what a team sport or a sporting organisation should have. As of today, I am no longer available [for the national team]."
