MUCKING OUT TIME
Katie Price is served eviction notice from her Mucky Mansion
Katie Price has been served an eviction notice at her infamous Mucky Mansion home.
Earlier this month, Katie was said to be at “real risk” of losing the £2million West Sussex home, amid her growing money woes.
The model recently made headlines after she swerved her second bankruptcy hearing and flew to Cyprus with her new boyfriend Married at First Sight star JJ Slater, 31, instead.
A letter dated April 24 states that “the eviction will take place on May 29th, 2024, at 10am” – leaving the troubled star less than three weeks to pack up.
Horsham county court’s eviction notice, which is addressed to Katie and “any other occupiers”, also instructs her “to arrange to leave the property with [her] belongings before this time and date”.
The letter also states: “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.
“A writ gives a High Court enforcement officer the authority to evict you and hand over possession to the claimant. In this notice, the term ‘Authorised Person’ is used to refer to either the Bailiff or the High Court enforcement officer.”
earlier this year, Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time due to an unpaid tax bill of £750,000 owed to HM revenue & Customs.
She bought the home in 2014. It is said to have cost her £1.3million at the time and featured in her Channel 4 Mucky Mansion renovation series after falling into a state of disrepair.
In March, Katie insisted “no one can take her Mucky Mansion” in the face of her problems.
She told fans: “You’ve followed my life, my journey, I say it as it is. Yes, I’m in a bankruptcy. But guess what? I own my house. No one could take it off me as well.”
The same month, the High Court ruled that the 45-year-old will lose half of her monthly earnings. She has since been earning money by selling personalised messages to her fans.
The court heard that trustees went to court to ask for an income payment order, which means money from her earnings would go towards her debts.
Joshua Harris, Bankruptcy Trustee at Harris & Partners, said: “Not settling financial duties can lead to severe outcomes, including the loss of assets and further financial hardship.”
In october last year, the mum of five said she was “fed up” with threats of legal action. She discussed her bankruptcy and said she would genuinely not care if she was jailed.
