Days after attackers threw acid on Katie Price’s pink Range Rover, she was forced to alert the police to a group of men lurking on her property.
The 46-year-old star was advised to leave her famous £1.35million Mucky Mansion after her safety was called into question last month.
Her property has become iconic over the years but Katie was allegedly handed an eviction notice amid her second bankruptcy.
The glamour model has relocated to a house in Sussex and now has ’24-hour security’ at the property after a van was seen waiting outside her new home.
‘Rushed to my house after being informed of a white transit van with 8 ppl not from this area waiting in my grounds [sic],’ Katie wrote on Instagram.
She shared a snap of her pink car, which still had the visible mark from the acid attack, as well as police vehicles in the back.

The mum-of-five continued: ‘A thanks to Sussex police who were instantly there and 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.’
On May 25, a report was filed with the police over the vandalism on her car with the officers asking for witnesses to come forward.
In a statement to The Sun, they 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.’
Previously sharing the damage in a video, Katie said: ‘It’s nice to know someone, in the night, has come to throw acid all over my car.
‘Everywhere, all on my car. Thank you, whoever that was.’
She added in the caption: ‘Scumbags outside my house on my private property I can’t wait to get out this house in a few months time [sic]’
The former I’m A Celeb star doesn’t appear to have let the incident deter her from heading out on ‘date nights’ with boyfriend JJ Slater.

Keeping things low-key the pair had been out for the evening, documented on Katie’s Instagram, hours before the incident with the van.
On her Katie Price Show podcast, she addressed the swirling rumours that Mucky Mansion was being taken from her.
Katie said: ‘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.’
At a live show, however, she did confess it had been ‘nine years of hell’ living there and was rather relieved to be leaving.
