Married, not on house deeds/mortgage, husband has racked up debts, need advice (UK)?

Hi all, I'm asking on behalf of my mother (UK/England)


She's married, isn't on the mortgage, nor the deeds, but used the proceeds of her previous house to pay the deposit on their current house.


They've been married for a fair few years and during that time, he's racked up a ton of debt on credit cards/loans without telling her, so the house/mortgage may now be at risk


What would be the best advice I can give her?
