Katie Price is paying a hefty price for new four-bed pad in Sussex after she was forced to leave her Mucky Mansion amid her double bankruptcy woes.
The former glamour model, 46, who was pictured moving out on Tuesday, is forking out almost £5,000 per month for her new property.
The huge family home, which includes a double garage and open-plan kitchen, will be Katie and her five children’s new house.
However, after checking out her new property, confused fans queried how she has been able to afford the £4,995 monthly payment amid her financial issues.
They asked: ‘Double bankrupt. Where did the money come from?’; ‘For someone who is bankrupt how can she afford it?’; ‘How can she afford that property if she’s bankrupt!’

It was revealed on Tuesday that Katie would finally leave her infamous ‘Mucky Mansion’, with removal vans arriving at the sprawling home.
And later that day, pictures showed her new Tudor-style home in Sussex as the vans dropped off boxes of her belongings at the property.
The removal team were seen carrying Katie’s things into the garage of her new home – which the reality star will move into with her five kids.
Katie said that she couldn’t ‘wait to get out’ of her Mucky Mansion – which she bought in 2014 from Tory peer Francis Maude – as she revealed vandals ‘threw acid on her Pink Range Rover’ on Saturday night.
Removal vans arrived at the sprawling estate in Sussex on Tuesday, as Katie and her five kids prepare to move out.
Three large removal trucks were pictured on the driveway, while workers started loading them with furniture.
Explaining the situation, she shared on Instagram: ‘Due to acid attack on my car at my house I’ve now been advised by authorities not to stay at Mucky Mansion anymore’.
An insider told The Sun: ‘Katie has been dreading this day for so long but now it is here, she can’t wait to leave.
‘The house has caused her so much grief and was too much to handle on her own. With work and the kids it all became too much in recent years. And she’s convinced it’s haunted.’
Katie confirmed for the first time on Thursday that she’s finally moving out after she was served an eviction notice to leave the property.
But Katie has now revealed that she is looking forward to leaving the house after taking to Instagram on Sunday to share a video of her car covered in splatters of a substance which has eroded the paint.
Over the video Katie could be heard saying: ‘It’s nice to know someone in the night has come to throw acid all over my car, everywhere, all on my car. Thank you whoever that was.’

Katie also included text on the clip which read: ‘Scumbags outside my house on my private property. I can’t wait get out of this house in a few months’ time.’
MailOnline has approached Katie’s representatives for comment.
On Thursday, Katie revealed she will soon be collecting the keys for a new home and denied recent reports she was looking to move her family into a caravan.
After nine years, Katie says she ‘can’t wait’ to relocate and admits, ‘I’ve had nothing but bad memories in that house’, insisting moving will be the start of a new chapter in her life.

The former glamour model, who’s currently in a relationship with Married At First Sight UK contestant JJ Slater, 30, was declared bankrupt for a second time in March over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.
Speaking about the West Sussex property, branded the ‘Mucky Mansion’ because of its constant state of disrepair, Katie said: ‘I absolutely hate the Mucky Mansion, even how it’s been called the Mucky Mansion because of all the stuff that happened there before.
‘I can’t wait to get out of that house I’ve had nothing but bad memories in that house for nine years. I hate the Mucky Mansion, I never want to see it again and I can’t wait to move into my new place, I am so excited. New beginnings, new start, reset button, I love it.
‘But don’t worry, I’ll be featuring my new house on my YouTube channel when I get the keys and welcoming you to my new house, I can’t wait, I just want to get rid of all the bad stuff in the past and have a fresh start. Although I would love a big caravan, it wouldn’t fit us all in so it’s definitely not a caravan I’m moving into.’
Katie, who’s a mum to Harvey Price, 21, as well as Junior, 18, and Princess, 16, who she shares with Peter Andre and Jett, 10, and Bunny, nine, from her relationship with Kieran Hayler, was first declared bankrupt in 2019.

In March, she became bankrupt for a second time after she failed to pay her taxes, saying the reason she has debts is because she went through a ‘breakdown.’
Speaking on the Stripping Off podcast with Matt Haycox, Katie said she wasn’t even aware of the second bankruptcy, insisting, ‘I will pay it, but it just has to be when I’ve got it.’
She said: ‘Yeah, you should always pay your tax, this and that. But obviously, I went through a breakdown so then I didn’t pay tax and that’s sort of where the bankruptcy thing has come from.’
Katie has been given until June 26 to leave the Mucky Mansion, which became the subject of a Channel 4 documentary when she attempted to install life back into the property for the last time.
During an Instagram live on Tuesday, she confirmed there will be no further renovation shows based around the house, saying, ‘Is there going to be anymore Mucky Mansions shows? No.’

Earlier this month it was revealed the former glamour model, 45, has reportedly been informed by lawyers she would have to move out of the property in in Dial Post, West Sussex, by May 29, after two eviction notices appeared outside her home
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Katie shared a clip showing a huge pile of things in her living room that she was set to sell
She was served an eviction notice on April 24 and told to leave by the end of May but has been given an extension by her mortgage provider.
Katie was due to give evidence at the High Court over her finances last month but failed to turn up because she was on holiday in Cyprus with boyfriend JJ.
The ‘Mucky Mansion’ earned its nickname following years of damage to the property, including flooding, burglaries, mould and even reports of it being haunted.
On Wednesday, Katie celebrated her birthday and was presented with a cake by JJ, who joined her on stage as she tours with her podcast The Katie Price Show.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, JJ revealed he’s already thinking about proposing to Katie and he sees their 14-year age difference as ‘irreverent.’
Katie’s Financial Woes
2019 – Katie was declared bankrupt with debts of £3.2m from her failed company Jordan Trading Ltd, that was set up to oversee her perfume and cosmetics line.
She set up the company in 2003 but in 2017 an application was put in to wind up the company as she tried to sort out her finances.
When she was declared bankrupt she vowed to pay back £12,000 a month to creditors of the firm through an individual voluntary arrangement.
The bankruptcy meant Katie, once worth a reported £45million, faced losing her £2million 11-bedroom mansion.
She took out a second mortgage on the property in 2015, but faced monthly payments of £12,300.
2022 – The former model had been due to attend the Royal Court of Justice to explain to a judge why she has failed to repay millions owed to creditors.
However, the hearing was adjourned at the last minute with her solicitors giving no reason for Katie’s no show before the court.
March 2024 – She was again declared bankrupt over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05. The demand for payment was made by HMRC in October 2023.
A court was told the bill ‘derives from self-assessments’ for 2020-2021 and 2021-22 and includes income VAT, tax, surcharges and interest.
Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Sebastian Prentis told the hearing at London’s Rolls Building: ‘There has been no response from the debtor. The papers are in order.
‘There is a substantial debt due from Ms Price to HMRC and therefore I will make a bankruptcy order.’
May 2024 – Katie is evicted from her home after being served with a notice and given weeks to leave. She is told bailiffs will arrive at 10am on 29 May to ensure she and any other occupants have vacated the property.
