DISOWNED: Eddie Fewtrell (right) wants nothing to do with daughter Abigail Keogh
Eddie Fewtrell has vowed daughter Abigail will never set foot in the 1million mansion he built for her and instead he’ll sell it. The 85-year-old former clubland kingpin is furious about the novel “The Accidental Gangster”, written by Abigail’s husband and musician David Keogh and based on information supplied by Abigail, 42. The book alleges the pensioner had a violent feud with the Kray twins and had frequent fights, after he chucked them out of his nightclubs but Eddie denies this.
Mum-of-two Abigail, of Ivybridge, Devon, said she found out her dad’s reputation as an alleged gangster after she became an English Literature student at University of Gloucestershire.

The fuming granddad, who lives with his second wife Marlene, 40 years his junior, near Ross-on-Wye, Heref., added: “I’m not a villain, I was a good talker.
“The only bother I’ve had is with my daughter.
“People felt safe in my clubs. I wouldn’t let anyone fight.
“I was totally anti-drugs I’ve never even smoked a reefer.”
But David Keogh said he was left “sad, shocked and confused” by Eddie’s ire. His book is poised to become a Peaky Blinders-style film.

SHOCKED: Abigail and David admit they wee saddened by Eddie’s anger
He continued: “Eddie has always made it clear to all his children that he will be leaing nothing to any of them in his will and Abi is proud that she has always been financially independent since leaving home at 18.
“We would also like to clarify the subject of the 1million pound house Eddie had supposedly built for Abi. In 2012 we became concerned about Eddie s health. Abi and I gave up our jobs and moved, along with his grandchildren, to a vacant house on Eddie s land.
“We stayed there for six months and were made to sign a tenancy agreement and paid a rent of 1,000 per month.
After six months and not being able to afford such a high rental, we had no choice but to move back to Devon and take up our previous jobs.”
