Reality TV star Katie Price has been warned she risks being evicted from her plush new rental property if it descends into a state resembling her notorious former home, dubbed the 'Mucky Mansion'.
Neighbours' Concerns Over Piles of Rubbish
The former model, 47, only moved into the converted barn near Horsham, West Sussex, a few months ago, following a brief stay at another rental. However, residents have already raised alarms after unsightly piles of rubbish were seen dumped outside the three-bedroom house.
Aerial photographs taken on Wednesday revealed bin bags, debris, and general junk strewn around the exterior and at the rear of the property. Locals expressed fears that the mess could attract rats, creating a problem for the surrounding area. "Katie can't treat the exterior land like some sort of dumping ground," a source commented.
A Clean-Up and a Stern Warning
Within 24 hours, the rubbish appeared to have been cleared away. Despite the quick clean-up, the incident has served as a stark reminder to the mother-of-five. The £4,500-a-month home is owned by a syndicate of developers – Mark Hogan, 59, Gary Hall, 58, and Andrew Allen, 61 – who specialise in high-end barn conversions.
"Katie should be careful as the owners won't stand for any mess," an insider told The Daily Mail. "She does not own this property so she needs to ensure it's kept up to standard." The warning comes after Price was evicted from her original 'Mucky Mansion' in Worth, Sussex, which she sold last year following her second bankruptcy declaration in March 2024.
Looking for a Fresh Start After Split
The property drama coincides with a significant shift in Price's personal life. Last week, it was revealed she split from boyfriend JJ Slater, 32, after nearly two years together. She ended the relationship, realising she did not see a future with the former Married at First Sight UK star.
Price had previously stated that leaving the 'Mucky Mansion', which she bought from Tory peer Francis Maude in 2014 for £1.35 million, would mark a new chapter. "I've had nothing but bad memories in that house," she said. However, the concerns over her new rental suggest old habits may be hard to break, putting her tenancy at serious risk.
