Toni Braxton has filed for bankruptcy for the second time, citing her heart condition as a major factor in her money woes.

Her lawyer, Debra Grassgreen, said in a statement that the decision came after months of trying to work out deals with creditors.

Court records show that Braxton filed for bankruptcy in Los Angeles on September 30.

The type of bankruptcy she filed could result in the sale of some of her assets to pay off debts listed in court records as ranging between 10 million dollars (£6.3 million) and 50 million dollars (£31.5 million)

Braxton's filing estimates her assets are worth up to 10 million (£6.3 million).

The six-time Grammy winner was forced to cancel a series of shows in Las Vegas in 2008 after being diagnosed with microvascular angina, a heart condition.

Your Horoscopes by Russell Grant

Taurus:

An embarrassing secret will come to light, affecting your reputation. Somebody who once admired you will now turn away in dismay. Instead of trying to win their affection again, lay low for a wee while. You'll make a much better impression by letting your actions speak for themselves. There is a chance this relationship is beyond redemption. If your former friend decides to keep their distance, you will have no other choice than to respect their feelings. Better luck next time.More
