Katie Price has claimed she was evicted from her home because fly-tippers made a mess on her land, leaving her with an £800,000 bill she didn’t want to pay.
The former glamour model, 46, who was declared bankrupt for a second time in March, was slapped with an eviction notice in April for her ‘Mucky Mansion’ in West Sussex and moved out into a smaller, rented home in May.
In the latest development, Katie has now suggested she was forced out because trespassers dumped rubbish and she didn’t want to fork out to have it cleared.
Speaking to The Sun, Katie explained: ‘The eviction came from a guy who flip tipped on my land and the council and the mortgage people gave me two years to clear the fly-tipping.
‘It would have cost me £800,000 to do it and it was a police investigation and I thought ‘do you know what, I don’t want to do it, it’s not going to add value to the house’.

‘So it was a question of, I can either give the keys back and they can sell the house and whatever they sell it for at the market value then I get what’s left.’
Katie previously admitted she was looking forward to a fresh start in a new home because she was tired of living with ‘bad memories’.
Back in May, the star revealed she ‘couldn’t wait’ to move out after vandals ‘threw acid on her Pink Range Rover’.
She said: ‘I absolutely hate the Mucky Mansion, even how it’s been called the Mucky Mansion because of all the stuff that happened there before.
‘I can’t wait to get out of that house I’ve had nothing but bad memories in that house for nine years. I hate the Mucky Mansion, I never want to see it again and I can’t wait to move into my new place, I am so excited. New beginnings, new start, reset button, I love it.
‘But don’t worry, I’ll be featuring my new house on my YouTube channel when I get the keys and welcoming you to my new house, I can’t wait, I just want to get rid of all the bad stuff in the past and have a fresh start.’
Katie bought the mansion in 2014 from Conservative Party politician Francis Maude in 2014 for a reported £1.35m.
The ‘Mucky Mansion’ earned its nickname following years of damage to the property, including flooding, burglaries, mould and even reports of it being haunted.

And it looks like Katie is set to get a new boost to her bank account, after revealing her life story is going to be the next big budget hit for Netflix
While nobody has been living in the pricey mansion since she moved out, a security guard has been posted at the gates of her home.
Pictures taken in June outside her 11-bedroom pad in Horsham, West Sussex showed a man sitting at the entrance of the driveway.
She is hoping her new family home, which includes a double garage and open-plan kitchen, will be a safe haven for her brood
And it looks like Katie is set to get a new boost to her bank account, after revealing her life story is going to be the next big budget hit for Netflix.
Katie disclosed she will be working with the streaming giant on her own series.
She told MailOnline: ‘It’s massive. I’m doing my life story for Netflix. I am actually doing a three-parter about my life for Netflix.’
It will be a welcome sum of money for Katie after she was declared bankrupt for the second time earlier this year over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.
In February, a court also ordered her to forfeit 40 per cent of her income from the adult subscription website OnlyFans for the next three years following a separate dispute over unpaid debt.
