Cliff Richard has put his house on the market following police raids that occurred last August in relation to alleged sexual offenses.

"Cliff told me he's just put the flat on the market. It's the saddest thing for him, but he had to do it.

He said he never wants to live there again. It's awful. Cliff is not all right, not at all," singer and friend Cilla Black confirming that the £3m Berkshire property was now on the market.

She adds, "He doesn't want to go back there because he's worried this is still hanging over him. When the police raided it was an invasion of his privacy.

I can't even advise him because — my God! — though I've been through a lot, this is outside my experience. He will never, ever go back there again. I don't blame him."

Richard was first interviewed by police in relation to an alleged historical sex offense back in August 2014.

He has never been arrested or charged.
