English Defence League (EDL) founder and former leader Tommy Robinson has admitted mortgage fraud offences.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiring with others to obtain a mortgage by misrepresentation from the Abbey and Halifax.
The 30-year-old committed the offences in 2009, according to a BBC report.
He was warned he could face a prison term when he is sentenced next year.
Earlier this year, Robinson was jailed for 10 months for using someone else's passport to travel to the US.
Yaxley-Lennon founded the EDL in 2009 after five Muslim men demonstrated in Luton against a homecoming parade by the Royal Anglian Regiment.
But he left the organisation last month, saying it had increasingly attracted racist elements.
Robinson's address and the court where he appeared cannot be named for legal reasons.
