Katie Price, the renowned glamour model, has made headlines yet again, this time for her defiance in the face of an eviction notice served upon her. The 45-year-old celebrity, who was declared bankrupt for the second time last month, was reportedly served with an eviction notice for her residence dubbed the ‘Mucky Mansion’ in Horsham, West Sussex.
The notice, issued on April 24, stipulated that all occupants must vacate the premises by 10 a.m. on May 29. However, in a bold move, a source close to Katie has stated that she refuses to comply with the eviction notice, asserting that she will not be leaving her property on the specified date.
The ‘Mucky Mansion’, once an opulent country home, has fallen into disrepair over the years, marred by burglaries, flooding, and a malfunctioning septic tank. The property, which Katie purchased in 2014, boasts 12.25 acres of land, including amenities like a swimming pool, tennis courts, stables, and paddocks.
Despite its potential value, estimated at £1.5 million, the mansion has become a point of contention among locals, who have voiced complaints about the property’s unkempt appearance and the disturbances caused by the model’s activities.
Katie’s financial woes have been well-documented, with her bankruptcy filings in 2019 and again in March 2024 over unpaid debts totalling millions of pounds. The latest bankruptcy declaration, resulting from an outstanding tax bill, has further compounded her challenges.
Amidst the legal battles and financial turmoil, Katie Price remains resolute, refusing to yield to the pressures of eviction. As she confronts this latest hurdle, the celebrity’s future remains uncertain, yet her determination to hold onto her home reflects her enduring spirit in the face of adversity.
With her court appearance to address her finances looming on May 14, the coming days are likely to be pivotal for Katie Price as she navigates through these turbulent times.
