MIKA'S BAD CREDIT

British pop star MIKA was left red-faced when his application for a new mobile phone was turned down - because he had no money.

The singer, whose album Life in Cartoon Motion has sold almost 2 million copies worldwide, was told by shop staff he did not have a reliable credit history and was laughed out of the store.

He says, "The salesman was determined that I was not getting a phone from him. He took a real delight in announcing to the entire shop that was broke, skint and penniless."

"I went into a mobile phone shop and failed every credit rating check there is. I didn't even know what a credit rating was until then.

"The guy serving had no interest in who I was. My friend who was with me was just p**sing himself with laughter."
