Katie Price reveals ‘24 hour security’ at her Mucky Mansion after acid attack that caused her to flee property
KATIE Price has revealed she’s installed “24 hour security” at her Mucky Mansion after a sick acid attack and yet another worrying incident.
The mum of five, 46, was forced to call the police after the horrifying incident last month, which left the side of her hot pink Land Rover ruined by the corrosive material.
At the time, Katie was quick to brand the culprits “scumbags” and has now taken more measures on the ground to keep the west Sussex home safe after yet another security alert.
The former glamour model – who was forced to pack her bags and leave the nine-bed home due to an eviction order – told how police had been called after a van parked up in her grounds.
She captured the officers at her infamous former home, which featured on it’s own Channel 4 show, as well as her pink people carrier.
In the caption she wrote: “Rushed to my home after being informed of a white transit van with eight people not from this area waiting in my grounds.
“A thanks to Sussex police who were instantly there and who are guarding the property.
“After the recent acid attack at the mansion all breaches of security are taken seriously by all now.
“There is 24 hour security now at the property for protection.”
We reported how the concerned star had called the police just yesterday to inform them of the attack, with witnesses urged to come forward.
OFFICIAL COMPLAINT
Cops are now urging witnesses to come forward after The Sun was able to confirm they received a report of a vehicle having been damaged overnight on May 25.
A statement released said: “Officers engaged with the informant to identify any viable lines of enquiry.
“No reasonable lines of enquiry have been identified at this stage, but anyone with information that could help is asked to contact police online or via 101, quoting serial 1053 of 26/05.”
ALL CHANGE
Katie moved out of her Mucky Mansion last month after purchasing the property in 2014.
The shock attack came after Katie left the sprawling pad littered with rubbish prior to her move.
We previously revealed how she was kicked out of her dilapidated family pile on May 29.
An eviction notice is said to have been pinned to a fence outside her 8,000-square-foot Horsham home, which was the subject of its own Channel 4 show.
Katie Price's missing millions
At the peak of her career she had an estimated fortune of £45M, thanks to her lucrative modelling career, book deals, and TV appearances.
The cash-strapped mum-of-five was first declared bankrupt in 2019 over unpaid debts of £3.2 million.
In a podcast interview earlier this year she blamed her exes who include Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler and lawyers for her money woes.
She insisted that funding her exes’ lavish lifestyles with cars, watches, luxury holidays and homes left her finances in tatters.
She added: ‘I went through a breakdown, this is how mine started – lawyers and exes, that is my bankruptcy thing.
‘And obviously a bit of HMRC.
‘When I had my breakdown, if anyone has been depressed …. I don’t know if you’ve ever had depression…
‘It starts with depression and you just want to sleep all day and not talk to anyone, the phone would ring and you wouldn’t answer it.’
Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time in March over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.
The demand for payment was made by HMRC last October.
Katie was due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court but failed to turn up – holidaying in Cyprus with her new man JJ Slater instead.
Mucky Mansion was a bomb site for years after it was burgled, flooded and swamped by an overflowing septic tank.
She finally moved out at the end of May and is renting a four bed mansion in Sussex.
An eviction letter, seen by The Sun, reads: “The court has issued a warrant or writ for the possession of the above property (land) at the request of the claimant.
“A warrant gives a county court bailiff the authority to evict you and hand over possession to the claimant.”
It was issued on April 24 and claimed all occupants will be evicted at 10am on May 29.
