Katie Price is set to move into a new house in Sussex after she was forced to leave her Mucky Mansion amid her double bankruptcy woes.
It was revealed on Tuesday that the former glamour model, 46, would finally leave her £2million 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 three-bedroom 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, the former glamour model, 46, 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.’
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.’
