But after failing to report anything, he was accused of dumping it, with the owners claiming they had to use an electronic tracking device to find it.
They say the camper was parked on the farm and was later found “full of rubbish” in the car park.
The star was once reportedly worth £13 million. But now he has been declared bankrupt, his house has been repossessed and he has debts of around £1 million.
Rumor has it that he couch surfs in friends’ homes.

The source added: “Bradley’s bankruptcy makes sense of last year’s chaos when he went to Awol in a borrowed VW camper van. It was in a car park in Manchester for about 40 days.
“He left it unlocked with the back door open. When it was found, the company said it was in bad shape.”
Friends told The Sun that Sir Bradley was loaned a luxury vehicle last August.
Our source added: “No one knew what was going on and why they didn’t do their part. They think Bradley may have been sleeping in the van because he moved it a few times.”
Sir Bradley’s money woes are believed to have started during the 2020 quarantine after his divorce from wife Cath.
