KATIE Price has insisted “everything is sorted” with her bankruptcy as she vowed to “never to hit rock bottom again”.
And the former glamour girl is launching a new career – using her past heartbreak as inspiration.
The star was on the news promoting her new autobiography, and told fans she has her financial matters under control after being booted out of her Mucky Mansion.
Katie said past traumas led to severe depression and two stays at a psychiatric hospital.
But the mum has learned to tackle demons which led to her having a breakdown three years ago.
She told Channel 5 News: “I’m doing really, really good. I’ve learned a lot about myself, a lot about mental health and obviously being diagnosed with the severe ADHD, learnt a lot about that, which I wish I knew years ago.”
She continued: “It becomes noise in your head, and then you just can’t cope with it, you think there’s no light at the end of the tunnel and then that caused depression, then a breakdown, suicidal, ended up at the Priory.
“Then started to realise, get to the root of each trauma that I’ve had, knowing how to deal with it – doesn’t mean to say you forget it, but you learn to deal with them.
“I’m only human at the end of the day, and it takes a toll on you, and in a way, I’m not glad that it’s happened, but it’s happened and I know that I would never ever hit rock bottom again, because now I know how to deal with issues.”
Katie has also been made bankrupt twice, most recently in January.
And she has appealed a decision by her local authority not to fund her son Harvey’s school fees.
Harvey, who has Prader-Willi syndrome, and is also autistic and partially blind, moved away from his family and to the college in September 2021.
She went on: “So with my bankruptcy, everything’s sorted there.
“To be honest, I’m not ashamed about the bankruptcy thing either. It can happen to anyone at any time, and I’m glad in a way when I look that everything’s happened at once because it made me sort everything out.
“But with Harvey, I’ve never had to fund it. And the latest thing, what the socials have said, there’s CNH, I think it’s called.
“They said he hasn’t got any healthcare needs and it’s pretty obvious Harvey has health care needs and they don’t want to fund for it.”
She said she has been busy soldiering on with work, and is now “having to turn work down, which is amazing for me.”
She added: “I’ve come through the other end and now I’m training to be a life coach, because I just feel I’ve gone through so much that I know I can help people.”
Katie recently addressed her double bankruptcy in an interview with The Sun and said she had to pay 40% of her entire income.
