Katie Price’s £2M mucky mansion left abandoned with piles of rubbish after she moved out to rent ‘eye-wateringly’ expensive apartment despite double bankruptcy woes

Must read

Katie Price‘s mucky mansion in Sussex was left looking a sorry state on Friday after the ex glamour model finally moved out earlier this week. 

The £2m property, which the 46-year-old purchased in 2014, had piles of rubbish stacked on the driveway along with an array of vehicles seemingly abandoned by the star. 

As well as Katie’s Barbie pink Range Rover – which was the recent victim of an acid attack – there was also a horse trailer and dozens of children’s toys.

There were numerous wooden fences broken with the 10-acre grounds left overgrown and the pool’s water having turned green. 

Katie, who was pictured moving out on Tuesday, is forking out almost £5,000 per month for her new property after being forced to leave the Mucky Mansion amid double bankruptcy woes.

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.

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.’

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.

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.’

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.
