Katie Price has revealed she’s contacted the police over a terrifying acid attack on her pink Range Rover.

The reality star previously revealed she’d been advised to leave her Mucky Mansion after vandals threw acid on her vehicle, and she has since increased security while appearing at her live shows.

Now it’s been revealed that police have received a report of a vehicle that was damaged overnight on May 25.

Katie had shared snaps and videos of damage to her car the following day, and in a statement to The Sun, police urged any witnesses to come forward.

The statement 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.’

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Sussex Police for further comment. 

Katie previously revealed vandals ‘threw acid on her Pink Range Rover’ last month, leaving her no choice but to leave her Mucky Mansion. 

She explained on Instagram: ‘Due to acid attack on my car at my house I’ve now been advised by authorities not to stay at Mucky Mansion anymore.’

Katie has moved into a new house in Sussex after she was forced to leave her Mucky Mansion amid her financial woes.

It was revealed last month that Katie would finally leave her £2million Mucky Mansion, with removal vans arriving at the sprawling home.

And later that day, pictures showed her new Tudor-style home in Sussex as the vans dropped off boxes of her belongings at the three-bedroom property.

The removal team were seen carrying Katie’s things into the garage of her new home – which the reality star will move into with her five kids.

Katie said that she couldn’t ‘wait to get out’ of her Mucky Mansion – which she bought in 2014 from Tory peer Francis Maude – as she revealed vandals ‘threw acid on her Pink Range Rover’ on Saturday night.

Removal vans arrived at the sprawling estate in Sussex on Tuesday, as Katie and her five kids prepare to move out.

Three large removal trucks were pictured on the driveway, while workers started loading them with furniture.

Explaining the situation, the former glamour model, 46, shared on Instagram: ‘Due to acid attack on my car at my house I’ve now been advised by authorities not to stay at Mucky Mansion anymore’.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Katie has been dreading this day for so long but now it is here, she can’t wait to leave.

‘The house has caused her so much grief and was too much to handle on her own. With work and the kids it all became too much in recent years. And she’s convinced it’s haunted.’

Katie previously confirmed that she’s finally moving out after she was served an eviction notice to leave the property.

She said she was looking forward to leaving the house after taking to Instagram to share a video of her car covered in splatters of a substance which had eroded the paint.

Over the video Katie could be heard saying: ‘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.’

Katie also included text on the clip which read: ‘Scumbags outside my house on my private property. I can’t wait get out of this house in a few months’ time.’

The former glamour model, who’s currently in a relationship with Married At First Sight UK contestant JJ Slater, 30, was declared bankrupt for a second time in March over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.

Speaking about the West Sussex property, branded the ‘Mucky Mansion’ because of its constant state of disrepair, Katie 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. Although I would love a big caravan, it wouldn’t fit us all in so it’s definitely not a caravan I’m moving into.’ 

Katie, who’s a mum to Harvey Price, 21, as well as Junior, 18, and Princess, 16, who she shares with Peter Andre and Jett, 10, and Bunny, nine, from her relationship with Kieran Hayler, was first declared bankrupt in 2019.

In March, she became bankrupt for a second time after she failed to pay her taxes, saying the reason she has debts is because she went through a ‘breakdown.’

Katie’s Financial Woes  

2019 – Katie was declared bankrupt with debts of £3.2m from her failed company Jordan Trading Ltd, that was set up to oversee her perfume and cosmetics line.

She set up the company in 2003 but in 2017 an application was put in to wind up the company as she tried to sort out her finances.

When she was declared bankrupt she vowed to pay back £12,000 a month to creditors of the firm through an individual voluntary arrangement.

The bankruptcy meant Katie, once worth a reported £45million, faced losing her £2million 11-bedroom mansion.

She took out a second mortgage on the property in 2015, but faced monthly payments of £12,300.

2022 – The former model had been due to attend the Royal Court of Justice to explain to a judge why she has failed to repay millions owed to creditors.

However, the hearing was adjourned at the last minute with her solicitors giving no reason for Katie’s no show before the court.

March 2024 – She was again declared bankrupt over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05. The demand for payment was made by HMRC in October 2023.

A court was told the bill ‘derives from self-assessments’ for 2020-2021 and 2021-22 and includes income VAT, tax, surcharges and interest.

Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Sebastian Prentis told the hearing at London’s Rolls Building: ‘There has been no response from the debtor. The papers are in order.

‘There is a substantial debt due from Ms Price to HMRC and therefore I will make a bankruptcy order.’

May 2024 – Katie is evicted from her home after being served with a notice and given weeks to leave. She is told bailiffs will arrive at 10am on 29 May to ensure she and any other occupants have vacated the property.
