The former Gadget Shop business tycoons who were caught in an alleged cocaine scandal are selling their Scottish mansion for just £850,000 - knocking nearly half a million off the asking price.

Chris and Mary Gorman moved to England seven years ago after Mrs Gorman was accused of assaulting a police officer in America and possessing cocaine at a Florida nightclub.

The couple put their eight-bedroom property in Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, up for sale at the time for £1.2million.
