Harry Potter actress faces serious grilling from authorities
The usually squeaky clean actress Emma Watson is facing a grilling from immigration officials after claims she had been employing an illegal housekeeper.
The woman was said to have been employed at the Harry Potter star’s £2 million London home while she had only a tourist visa, and not one that allowed her to work legally in the UK.
Home Office chiefs can impose civil penalties of up to £10,000 per worker on bosses who breach immigration rules.
Yikes!
The housekeeper first started working for Emma in her New York apartment at the beginning of last year.
But Border Agency staff launched a probe after receiving a complaint that she travelled to London off and on and was paid to help the actress at her home.
It is alleged the housekeeper spent a total of three months in Britain between September last year until early February this year.
We’re not sure how this is going to turn out for the Hollywood star!
