Katie Price<\/a> has revealed that she was forced to leave Mucky Mansion after being conned.<\/p>\n The former reality TV star, 46,\u00a0moved out of the dilapidated house in May 2024\u00a0<\/a>after reports of an eviction notice due to her\u00a0financial issues\u00a0<\/a>(which she has denied) and undergoing a \u2018hellish\u2019 ordeal while living there.<\/p>\n It was reported at the time that the star had been served an eviction notice after filing for bankruptcy, which Katie has also denied.<\/p>\n The star now claims that she \u2018handed back the keys\u2019 to the home, known as Mucky Mansion after her renovation TV series, after being conned in a fly-tipping scam.<\/p>\n In an interview on The Disruptors<\/a> podcast<\/a>, Katie claimed that she thought she was turning her land into a wedding venue.<\/p>\n \u2018So the reason I got out of my house. I was introduced to a guy who said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t we turn your house into a wedding venue? Because you\u2019ve got stables, we\u2019ll do a big gallop track in your fields.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018And where your tennis court is, we\u2019ll knock that down and we\u2019ll build you a brand new one and a brand new five-bedroom house. And you can use your house as a wedding venue.<\/p>\n \u2018Showed my mum all the stuff, all legit, had this architect there, all the drawings, all the planning. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s real and what\u2019s not and he sold us the dream.<\/p>\n He started getting everything at my house, putting scaffolding up on the house and knocked my tennis court down. Every time I\u2019d go to the house, there was all diggers in the field.\u2019<\/p>\n She then revealed things took a turn:\u00a0\u2018And then one day, when we went to the house to film, I went out in the fields and I thought. What is actually going on here?<\/p>\n \u2018This doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s a gallop track, and that\u2019s when people messaged me and said \u201coh my god, Kate is with this fraudster\u201d.<\/p>\n \t\t She revealed the man gave her various names, and eventually it led to her being caught out for flytipping and being given an enormous bill to sort out the rubbish on her land.<\/p>\n \u2018He fly tips on your fields. Then we caught him out. Then I\u2019m left with the house. Council on my case saying you\u2019ve got to get rid of all this flytipping \u2013 it\u2019s contaminated, this and that.<\/p>\n \u2018And I\u2019m like but it wasn\u2019t me that\u2019s done it. We had quotes that it was going to cost me about \u00a3800,000 to get it all back right.<\/p>\n \u2018So I was like, do you know what? I\u2019ll give the keys back, I don\u2019t want it. You can have it back.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t The estate, which includes nine bedrooms, four bathrooms, 12 acres, and a disused swimming pool, was bought by the reality star in 2014 for an estimated \u00a3 1.35 million.<\/p>\n Katie sold the property in December 2024<\/a> for a loss. A public notice on Rightmove stated at the time: \u2018Mortgagees in possession are now in receipt of an offer for the sum of \u00a31,150,000,\u2019 per the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n The star previously called the Sussex mansion \u2018cursed\u2019 and told\u00a0the\u00a0Daily Mail<\/a>: \u2018I\u2019ve been wanting to get out of my old house for absolute years. It\u2019s been nothing but hell in there. I\u2019ve not had any luck in that house, ever.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018I hate that house. Whoever buys it, I warn them, they will get bad luck there. It is absolutely cursed. My anxiety got worse with that house. There was a point when I couldn\u2019t even walk up the driveway without having a panic attack.<\/p>\n \u2018I had therapy about the house. I should never have gone back there. Now I\u2019m out of it, it\u2019s the best thing I\u2019ve ever done.\u2019<\/p>\n The mum-of-five now lives in a\u00a0four-bed Sussex home for a reported \u00a35,000 a month<\/a> with her boyfriend JJ Slater.<\/p>\n Got a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk<\/a> entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff<\/a> page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow![\"uncleared](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SEI_245918797-8982.jpg\")
