Mansell in yob terror
Former world motor-racing champion Nigel Mansell is having to barricade himself inside his £6million mansion after being attacked by yobs.
The ex-Formula 1 ace has been beaten up and harassed by gangs rampaging across his land to get to rocks behind his cliff-top property on the island of Jersey.
Dad-of-three Nigel, 54, is now being forced to put up an 8ft steel fence around the house at Beauport, where the multi-millionaire and wife Rosanne live as tax exiles on the Channel Island.
The 1992 world champ said: "We're fighting to survive and live in our home.""
A source close to the family said: "The final straw was when one of these yobs went after his pet labradors.
"His garden has been trashed and when he comes out to ask these guys what they're playing at, they just yell at him to f*** off.
"There's a lot of animosity round here to English guys who just come over to avoid paying any tax at home, but this is ridiculous."
Nigel was once left with cuts and bruises after he was beaten up by four men taking a shortcut through his garden.
He added: "We've been told to get this new kind of fence by the police. It's the same type they use on high-security establishments in the UK."
