Cilla Black has called in police after a pair of angry neighbours cut down one of her trees.

The duo joined forces and hired a tree surgeon before breaking into the grounds of Cilla's £2 million property.

"They were pretty aggressive to the gardener Gareth," a friend told The Mirror. "They scarpered when the police came but Cilla's family have photos of them."

Neighbour Gary Byrne claims that Black's trees block out sunlight and hang into his own garden.

"I have asked politely on many occasions for her to have them cut back," he explained.

South Bucks District Council has confirmed that they are investigating the matter.
