TV GYPSY Danny Cooper is locked in a bitter £2million legal fight with his own daughter over claims she faked documents to secretly lay claim to his beloved home.
Cooper, who starred in the Channel 5 documentary Here Come The Gypsies, accuses Tracey of forging his signature to secretly transfer the property into her name.
He says she even kicked him out of the property.
Cooper, a former strawberry farmer who used to run one of the biggest horse drives in Britain, has now launched a legal case to win back the sprawling house he lost in 2023.
In court papers seen by The Sun he accuses his daughter of obtaining the house in Totton, Hants., by “fraud or reckless misrepresentation” and wants it returned into his ownership.
His lawyers say his daughter took advantage of his inability to read or write and signed the crucial deed document transferring the property solely into her name.
They add: “Ms Cooper forged his signatures on the deed without his knowledge and/or consent in order to effect the transfer of the entire property to herself for no consideration.
“She knew that Mr Cooper had not signed the deed and had no knowledge of it, that he did not wish to transfer her the property in full or at all and/or had not instructed or authorised the said transfer to be made.”
Mr Cooper, who was suffering from cancer and depression, was later turfed out of the property by his daughter.
The court documents add: “After his cancer diagnosis, Mr Cooper was prescribed heavy medication and anti-depressants, and struggled to think clearly or to get out of bed.
“He was therefore particularly vulnerable to exploitation.
“Ms Cooper knew and understood that Mr Cooper did not wish to transfer more than half the property to her.
“Nevertheless, without informing Mr Cooper or gaining his authorisation or consent, Ms Cooper instructed alternative solicitors that her father wished to transfer the entire property to herself as a gift and to prepare the documents necessary to effect said transfer.
“Mr Cooper was induced to sign the deed by the fraudulent and/or reckless misrepresentations of Ms Cooper.”
Mr Cooper, who continues to receive electricity bills for the property, wants the £2million home back, his daughter evicted and the deed corrected.
