KATIE Price has revealed she was slapped with a huge bill for her Mucky Mansion before being evicted.
The star, 46, revealed she was slapped with an eye-watering £800,000 bill for her former home.
Katie said a trespasser who had fly tipped on her land left her with an ultimatum from the local councils.
It comes after she was evicted from the now derelict site last month.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the launch of her seventh book, Pricey 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 added that police have detained a suspect in connection after a spate of burglaries at the Sussex mansion.
She said: “They’ve got someone in remand now until August.
“He was selling my stuff on Facebook Marketplace, we’ve got all the evidence of everything so they’ve actually arrested him and got him in remand at the minute.”
During her packed show with sister Sophie, the mum-of-five boasted to fans that she had ‘loads of money’.
She addressed her double bankruptcy and having to pay 40% of her entire income.
Katie explained: “I’m not going to go into the bankruptcy, because I’ve sorted that out.
“Put it this way, she’s going to be f***ing cako bako again. I still have good money, but they’re going to have to pay 40%.
“That’s not for long. Nine months and I’m out of it.”
At the peak of her career Katie had an estimated fortune of £45m, thanks to her lucrative modelling career, book deals, and TV appearances.
The cash-strapped mum-of-five was first declared bankrupt in 2019 over unpaid debts of £3.2 million.
In a podcast interview earlier this year she blamed her exes who include Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler and lawyers for her money woes.
She insisted that funding her exes’ lavish lifestyles with cars, watches, luxury holidays and homes left her finances in tatters.
She added: “I went through a breakdown, this is how mine started – lawyers and exes, that is my bankruptcy thing.
“And obviously a bit of HMRC.
“When I had my breakdown, if anyone has been depressed …. I don’t know if you’ve ever had depression…
“It starts with depression and you just want to sleep all day and not talk to anyone, the phone would ring and you wouldn’t answer it.’
Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time in March over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.
The demand for payment was made by HMRC last October.
Katie was due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court but failed to turn up – holidaying in Cyprus with her new man JJ Slater instead.
Her Mucky Mansion was a bomb site for years after it was burgled, flooded and swamped by an overflowing septic tank.
She finally moved out at the end of May and is currently renting a four-bed mansion in Sussex.
