Katie Price has claimed her Mucky Mansion is cursed and has warned off any potential new owners.
The glamour model, 46, purchased the £2 million pad in Horsham, West Sussex, in 2014 but had many problems with the home over the years, including break ins, structural issues and reports of ‘seeing ghosts’.
Last month, she vacated the sprawling mansion and moved to a new four-bedroom home in a sleepy Sussex village after being declared bankrupt for the second time and issued with an eviction notice.
Yet in an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Katie insisted that it had been her choice to vacate the premises and that it marked a new chapter in her life.
The mother-of-five insisted: ‘I’ve been wanting to get out of my old house for absolute years. It’s been nothing but hell in there. I’ve not had any luck in that house, ever!’
Katie continued: ‘I hate that house. Whoever buys it, I warn them, they will get bad luck there.
‘It is absolute cursed. My anxiety got worse with that house. There was a point when I couldn’t even walk up the driveaway without having a panic attack.
‘I had therapy about the house. I should never have gone back there. Now I’m out of it it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.’
Last month, Katie shared pictures of two men she feared were trying to break into her Mucky Mansion – just days after she was forced to call police over another gang of strangers outside her home.
Katie posted alarming doorbell footage on Instagram of an intruder approaching the front door before walking away.
She followed it up with a picture of him and a second man as well as a photo of a white Ford they had parked on her driveway.
Sussex Police told MailOnline it had received a report of ‘suspicious behavior involving a possible break-in’ at around 9pm. The two men were searched and given ‘words of advice’ before being released after no items were found, police said.
It marked the latest incident to take place at 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.
Katie also revealed how someone had snuck into her property in the middle of the night and splashed a corrosive substance over the Range Rover which had some of its pink paint stripped off.
She revealed: ‘There is 24 hour security now at the property for protection.’
Katie is hoping her new family home, which includes a double garage and open-plan kitchen, will be a safe haven for her brood.
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.
During her chat with MailOnline, Katie hit out at scrutiny over her finances, insisting: ‘I’m sick to death of dealing with this bankruptcy story. I’ve sorted it out.
‘It happened when I had a breakdown and anyone can go through bankruptcy but the papers are so obsessed with it.
‘It’s nothing to be ashamed of. I earn well. I earn good money. I’ve sorted my situation out and it is what it is. Now I’m on the up.’
In March, Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time after failing to pay over £750,000 in unpaid tax.
The former glamour model failed to appear at a court hearing in London to explain why she has not paid any money to HMRC.
It is the second bankruptcy faced by Katie as she is being chased by creditors for a £3.2million payment over the failure of her company Jordan Trading Ltd.
Creditors are owed the £3.2million from her company selling perfume and cosmetics.
Elsewhere in the chat, Katie told MailOnline that she is training to become a life coach and has enlisted the help of The Psychopath Life Coach, Lewis Raymond Taylor
Elsewhere in the chat, Katie told MailOnline that she is training to become a life coach and has enlisted the help of The Psychopath Life Coach, Lewis Raymond Taylor.
The glamour model wants to move forward from the trauma of her past – and of that there has been plenty.
Katie has been subject to rehab stints, financial woes, prison threats and even attempted kidnappings, all documented in her seven biographies and in the papers, not to mention the numerous boob jobs, face lifts and tweakments.
As for the ‘Psychopath Life Coach’ Lewis, 34, he has a history of violence, drug addiction and prison stints.
However, as Lewis pointed out, this is exactly what makes them the perfect candidates for life coaching.
Lewis explained: ‘I think a lot of people are going to be laughing and joking and saying, “how can a psychopath be a life coach? How can Katie Price be a life coach when she’s put herself in this situation and that situation?”
‘But you’ve got to think Katie’s been in the industry for decades, still inspiring people and still has millions of followers. It takes a lot of resilience to be able to do that.
‘There will be a lot of people that have a lot of negative things to say, but there’ll also be a lot of people that have been inspired and empowered by Katie for decades now.
‘She will make a very big difference to a lot of people because they will resonate and connect with her in a way that they won’t resonate and connect with anybody else.
‘So watch out, Katie Price is here to make a difference.’
The pair are so hellbent on proving their doubters wrong that they are filming a TV show about their life coaching journey in Bali this year.
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.
