Katie Price admits the real reason she was forced to leave her Mucky Mansion

Former glamour model Katie Price has claimed that she had to leave her beloved Mucky Mansion after she was conned. The 46-year-old TV personality lived at the nine-bedroom home for a number of years before being evicted for failing to pay the mortgage.

The lavish property, which sits on 12 acres of land, was the feature of a TV show with the star. She bought the home from Tory grandee Francis Maude in 2014 but earlier this year, she was served an eviction notice after filing for bankruptcy, which she has denied. And now, the star revealed the supposed real reason she had to leave her home.

Katie shared the supposed real reason she moved out of the Mucky Mansion

In an interview on The Disruptors podcast, Katie claimed she moved out of the house after being conned into a fly-tipping scam. She said she thought she was turning her land into a wedding venue.

“So the reason I got out of my house. I was introduced to a guy who said, ‘Why don’t we turn your house into a wedding venue? Because you’ve got stables, we’ll do a big gallop track in your fields,’” she said.

‘And where your tennis court is, we’ll knock that down and we’ll build you a brand new one and a brand new five-bedroom house. And you can use your house as a wedding venue.’”

“Showed my mum all the stuff, all legit, had this architect there, all the drawings, all the planning. I don’t know what’s real and what’s not and he sold us the dream.

“He started getting everything at my house, putting scaffolding up on the house and knocked my tennis court down. Every time I’d go to the house, there was all diggers in the field.”

However, it wasn’t what she was promised. Katie continued: “And 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?

“This doesn’t look like it’s a gallop track, and that’s when people messaged me and said, ‘Oh my god, Kate is with this fraudster’.”

The star went on to claim that the man gave her multiple names and it led to her being caught out for fly tipping. She was then given an enormous bill to deal with the rubbish on her property.

“He flytips on your fields. Then we caught him out. Then I’m left with the house. Council on my case saying you’ve got to get rid of all this flytipping – it’s contaminated, this and that,” Katie claimed.

“And I’m like but it wasn’t me that’s done it. We had quotes that it was going to cost me about £800,000 to get it all back right. So I was like, do you know what? I’ll give the keys back, I don’t want it. You can have it back.”
