A retired teacher has been evicted from the £15,000 beach hut she bought as a 'mermaid haven' after her divorce amid a row with locals over 'antisocial behaviour'.
Mother-of-two Michele Spicer purchased the hut in Goring-by-Sea, West Sussex, last year.
However, her relationship with neighbours quickly deteriorated due to arguments involving a campaign to reopen a public toilet, accusations of 'antisocial behaviour' and the parking of her Mercedes.
She claims to have had angry notes and dog poo left on her car by residents furious that she continues to use a 'private' car park.
Ms Spicer, who says she has done 'nothing but good for the community', believes locals have simply become 'jealous' of her.
She said: 'I've done nothing wrong - it's a conspiracy against me to get me removed.
'I think it's because they're jealous of me because I'm a model and I'm very glamorous with a sports car.'

Worthing Borough Council stepped in last month after saying the number of complaints left it with 'no choice'.
The hut was removed from its spot and the locks were changed, she claims.
The council said it was the first seafront eviction in 25 years.
Ms Spicer said: 'I went to the beach hut one morning a few weeks ago and the locks were changed - then it was removed without my knowledge.
'I am just a beach hut owner quietly enjoying the area because it's good for my mental health - but neighbours started bullying me and conspiring against me.
'I don't think there is anything wrong with my parking - and I only tried to get a toilet re-opened.
'I did nothing but good for the community - but they're jealous of me because I'm glamorous.
'It feels like this has ruined my life - I've lost my beloved beach hut.'
