John Leslie ‘renting out plush Morningside cottage for £350 a night’

John Leslie has been renting out his Morningside flat for up to £350 a night, it has been reported.

The Edinburgh-born entertainer, 54, has previously said he couldn’t face a return to television.

Now, according to a Sunday newspaper, he has been making cash as a landlord to a high-end property in the EH10 area of the city.

A source told the Scottish Sun on Sunday: “At his peak he was paid huge sums of money to be a television presenter. Now he is developing new business interests.”

Photos of the property show pictures of Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe and fashion designer Tom Ford. But one negative review of the flat claimed there was “no privacy and no doors on the bedrooms.”
