Her talents include modelling, showjumping, skiing and television presenting. But when it comes to being a good neighbour, it seems Jodie Kidd has a lot to learn.

The glamorous 36-year-old is accused of refusing to pay her portion of a shared water supply to her home, with the outstanding bill now reaching a whopping £6,500.

The claim is made by businessman Simon Denyer, 44, who lives in a £1.5 million seven-acre property which provides road and water access to Jodie’s £1.25 million cottage in a West Sussex hamlet.

Mr Denyer says Ms Kidd has not paid her share for four years and that she was ‘dismissive and arrogant’ when he challenged her.

‘I just want her to pay what she owes me and take responsibility for paying her own bill.’ Mr Denyer says he has paid an £8,000 water bill and a £5,000 bill for pipe repairs.

He added: ‘It is in the land deeds that we are both responsible for 50 per cent of all water and pipe repair. It cannot be any clearer than that. But she has ignored numerous requests and copies of the bills that were left with her housekeeper.

‘I finally managed to get hold of her last week and we ended up in a heated exchange because she was very dismissive and arrogant. She continues to use water, but seems to think she is above paying me for it.’

Ms Kidd has told Mr Denyer that the bills from Southern Water are excessive and caused by a leak on Mr Denyer’s property – which he denies. With the pair in deadlock, lawyers are now involved.

It’s another financial controversy for the Kidd family, who are trying to hold on to their beloved estate in Barbados after a demand for £340,000 by creditors over the collapse of their cosmetics business.

Ms Kidd is in the throes of divorcing her second husband, author David Blakeley. They were only married in August.

Mr Denyer said: ‘If she’s having financial difficulties, then she could have come to me and discussed some kind of settlement.’

Ms Kidd described the dispute as a ‘boring and pathetic little squabble’. She added: ‘It was being handled by my ex-husband and we are now separated. I have my lawyers on it.’
