       The two bailiffs have accused Gary Robinson, the owner of the company - Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd - of underpaying them and breaking agreements.

       According to Mr Pinner, 66, and Mr Bohill, 77, they agreed to work for DCBL when the show started in 2014 in exchange for a 20 per cent share of the company directorships and a 60% cut of featured enforcement work, reports the Mirror.

       The pair, who starred in 81 episodes of the Channel 5 hit show before it was cancelled in 2018, claim their earnings fell despite the firm recording rising profits.

       The writ says: “They featured very prominently in the programme and were central to the great success of the pilot first series and the further series which followed it.”

       But Mr Robinson has hit back, claiming Mr Pinner and Mr Bohill's claim has no " validity".

       He told the Sunday People: "It's just a couple of disgruntled ex-employees.”

       It comes after an OCD sufferer sued Channel 5 for ￡100,000 after finding bailiffs and a TV crew in her home.

       Natasha Lowe was shocked to discover strangers picking through her possessions and stomping over her carpet while filming Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away!.

       Ms Lowe, who suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, said she "experienced a tightening of the chest and had difficulty breathing" as a result of the ordeal.

       She was even forced to reach for an asthma inhaler after discovering the two bailiffs and three-man film crew shooting the episode in her flat.

       She says bailiffs involved in the programme - which follows debt collectors - told her they were going to haul away ￡6,000 worth of goods because of debts allegedly owed by her then-boyfriend Daniel White to his ex-girlfriend.

       Ms Lowe, who was using crutches due to medical problems at the time, says her OCD "exacerbated the upset" of encountering five random people in her home "touching her possessions and walking on her carpet".

       In a case filed at the High Court, she sued for invasion of privacy by "misuse of her private information".

       She complained that her distress was broadcast to "many millions" of viewers and is demanded up to ￡100,000 compensation.

       Channel 5 apologised to Ms Lowe and offered to pay "substantial damages".
