Andrew Tweedy, the estranged brother of singer Cheryl, has been observed living in a tent and soliciting money outside a Morrisons supermarket in Jarrow, South Tyneside. This situation has come to light with recent photographs depicting his living conditions.
Tweedy, 45, has a documented history of crime and addiction, having previously undergone three stints in rehabilitation, funded by his sister, totaling £20,000. He has appeared in court over 50 times, with past offenses including robbery and violent altercations dating back to his teenage years.
He was previously reported to be homeless in 2021 and has spoken about his struggles, mentioning his pride and the difficulty of his circumstances. Despite his sister's past attempts to help him, his current situation remains unclear, with a recent court appearance for being drunk and disorderly.
Reports indicate that local authorities were aware of his presence and he was awaiting temporary accommodation. Tweedy's long battle with drug and alcohol addiction began in his youth on a challenging estate in Newcastle.
