💔 Katie Price’s Empire Collapses: £750,000 Tax Debt Forces Sale of £2 Million “Mucky Mansion”

Katie Price, the once-glittering reality TV star turned business mogul, is facing the biggest financial crisis of her life after being hit with a devastating £750,000 tax bill and forced to sell her infamous £2 million “Mucky Mansion.”

The bankruptcy courts have reportedly imposed new financial penalties on the 46-year-old mother of five, who has spent the past few years battling mounting debts, legal disputes, and failed business ventures.
What began as another chapter in Price’s long-documented financial struggles has now spiraled into what insiders describe as a “complete collapse of her empire.”

“She’s Completely Broken,” Says Insider

According to court filings, Katie Price has fallen behind on multiple payments owed to HMRC (His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs).
The £750,000 tax debt includes unpaid income tax and VAT dating back several years — a total sum so large that officials have moved to enforce the sale of her West Sussex property, the once-lavish home she famously dubbed her “Mucky Mansion.”

“Katie has been clinging to that house for years,” a close friend told The Mirror. “It was her last bit of pride, her last symbol of who she used to be. But this latest blow has broken her completely.”

The same source added that Price is “devastated” and “exhausted” after being ordered to cooperate with the court’s financial administrators, who will now oversee the sale of her assets.

“It’s not just about money anymore,” the insider added. “It’s about her mental state. She’s been through divorces, scandals, surgeries, and endless media attention — but this time, she’s genuinely frightened.”

From Glamour to Chaos

Katie Price first rose to fame in the late 1990s as “Jordan,” a glamour model whose fame quickly evolved into one of Britain’s most recognizable reality TV careers.
Over two decades, she built a brand empire that included books, fragrances, clothing lines, and TV deals, reportedly earning her over £45 million at her peak.

But over the last decade, that empire has crumbled under mounting debts, failed relationships, and a string of bankruptcies.

In 2019, she was officially declared bankrupt for the first time, after failing to pay over £3.2 million in loans and taxes. She was given time to restructure her finances — but new reports confirm she’s fallen behind again, prompting HMRC and the courts to step in.

The “Mucky Mansion” — From Dream Home to Legal Burden

The sprawling 10-acre property in Horsham, West Sussex, was once the crown jewel of Katie’s world. Purchased in 2014 for £2 million, the mansion became infamous after years of neglect, floods, and damage — earning its tabloid nickname, the “Mucky Mansion.”

In 2022, Price fronted a Channel 4 series called Katie Price’s Mucky Mansion, where cameras followed her attempt to renovate the decaying property and rebuild her life.

But the reality was far from glamorous.
Neighbours frequently complained about noise, trespassing, and security issues, while Price herself admitted to ongoing struggles with debt and stress.

“That house holds memories, good and bad,” she said in a 2023 interview. “But it’s also become a weight around my neck. Sometimes I wish I could just walk away from it all.”

Now, that wish may have come true — though not by choice.

Court officials have confirmed that a forced sale order is underway, with proceeds expected to go toward clearing her outstanding tax debts.

“She Can’t Escape the Chaos”

Katie’s financial downfall has unfolded alongside a series of personal and legal challenges.
Earlier this year, she narrowly avoided a driving ban for the third time, while continuing to fight custody and support arrangements involving her five children.

Those close to her say the constant public scrutiny has taken a toll.

“She’s constantly being chased — by the press, by the courts, by creditors,” another friend told The Sun. “She can’t escape the chaos anymore.”

Despite her hardships, Price has continued to post upbeat videos and photos to social media, often featuring her children and promoting brand deals.
But fans have begun noticing a more somber tone behind the smiles.

“People see the lashes, the filters, the confidence,” one former colleague said. “What they don’t see is the fear. She’s terrified of losing everything.”

What Comes Next?

Sources close to Katie say she is “cooperating fully” with financial administrators and hopes to settle her debts to avoid another full bankruptcy declaration.

“She’s trying to rebuild — again,” one insider said. “But it’s hard to keep going when every headline reminds you of your mistakes.”

While Warner Bros. has declined to comment on rumors of future reality projects, Channel 4 has reportedly paused any new Mucky Mansion installments pending the outcome of her court proceedings.

If the sale goes through, Katie will lose her most iconic property — but possibly gain something more important: a chance to start again.

“She’s Still a Fighter”

For all the criticism and chaos, those who know Katie best say one thing remains constant — her resilience.

“Katie’s been written off a hundred times,” said a longtime friend. “But somehow, she always finds a way to rise again. Whether she’s living in a mansion or a flat, she’s still a fighter.”

But this time, the stakes are higher than ever.
The debts are bigger, the pressure heavier, and the spotlight brighter.

And as one tabloid editor put it:

“If the ‘Mucky Mansion’ really falls, it won’t just mark the end of an era — it’ll be the collapse of the Katie Price myth itself.”
