Ant and Dec have taken their art dispute to court. The TV hosts want a judge’s help to obtain information about Banksy artwork deals. They claim an intermediary took “secret and unauthorised profits.”The pair paid £550,000 for one set of Banksy works. However, the seller apparently only received £300,000. Therefore, they want to know what happened to the missing £250,000.
Further Concerns Raised
The court heard about “similar concerns” involving another transaction. They may have been deprived of “a substantial sum” from selling 22 items. As a result, this Ant Dec Banksy art dispute covers multiple deals.

The order would also cover a separate art consultant who acted on their behalf.The High Court will now consider their request. The stars seek transparency and accountability. Their missing funds remain unaccounted for.
