Just days after Katie Price confirmed she will be leaving her Mucky Mansion for good, the TV star’s car was attacked by vandals with acid while parked at her property.
Former glamour model Kate, 46, has expressed her excitement to vacate the mansion, located in Horsham, West Sussex, which she purchased in October 2014 for £1.35million.
Ever since Katie moved in, the property has made headlines, most recently when she was allegedly handed an eviction notice amid her second bankruptcy.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday (May 26), the reality star shared a video of her pink Range Rover doused in acid.
This isn’t the first time the house has been targeted by vandals, as she’s also had her fences graffitied in the past.
‘It’s nice to know someone, in the night, has come to throw acid all over my car,’ Katie began in the video.

‘Everywhere, all on my car. Thank you, whoever that was.’
Katie also wrote alongside the video: ‘Scumbags outside my house on my private property I can’t wait to get out this house in a few months time [sic]’.
The mum-of-five has made no secret of her disdain for her Mucky Mansion in recent weeks.
Speaking at a live show of The Katie Price Podcast in London on Friday night (May 24), Katie told the audience: ‘No, I am still in my mansion! And guess what? I absolutely have hated my mansion.’
She added in quotes from The Sun: ‘I tell you why, nine years of hell I’ve had there.
‘Fly-tipping, it’s haunted… and I am living with it. And whoever buys that house, good luck! I hate it.’
While she has confirmed she’s moving out and moving on, Katie has made it known that she hasn’t been formally evicted, despite previous reports that she had days to get out.
Initially, according to The Mirror, Katie was sent a letter, dated April 24, 2024, stating that ‘the eviction will take place on May 29, 2024, at 10am’.

The letter also stated that the court had ‘issued a warrant or writ for the possession of the property’.
Furious, Katie hit back, with her team releasing a statement reading: ‘Katie will not be evicted from her property on 29th May.
‘All paperwork regarding this has been obtained, opened, and shared with media illegally by a local resident. The police have been notified and will be investigating.’
Katie herself later shut down rumours that she was ‘moving into a caravan’.
She added on her Katie Price Show podcast: ‘My house isn’t being repossessed, I’m not being evicted and I’m not moving into a caravan.
‘Although, if I had to live in a caravan, you know what the travellers have, I would love that.’
Those who follow the turbulent life of the Pricey will know that she has been declared bankrupt twice.
In February this year, the I’m A Celebrity icon was declared bankrupt for the second time as she owes a six-figure sum to HMRC.

It was reported that she had failed to pay over £750,000 in tax, VAT, and other fees.
Katie also failed to show up to court to give evidence about her finances, citing ‘health issues’ as the reason why and saying she was not ‘strong enough’ to be cross-examined.
She stressed that she is ‘taking [her] bankruptcy so seriously’, though, despite being slated for holidaying with boyfriend JJ Slater, 31, at the time of the hearing.
Katie justified her actions by arguing that she ‘needed a break’.
