Katie Price jettisons her mucky mansion for good as doctors warn her ‘stay away’

Katie Price says she’s completely done with her so-called ‘Mucky Mansion’ and won’t ever be moving back.

The mum-of-five, 42, has moved in with partner Carl Woods, and says she’s happier than ever.

Her old run-down home in West Sussex has too many “bad memories”, so much so that her doctors at The Priory, who she is still in contact with weekly, have warned her to never go back.

The property has caused misery for Katie lately, with burglars targeting it in a string of break-ins.

The reality star was forced to hire 24/7 security guards to protect her home after she moved into a temporary place while work was being carried out.

On July 24, Katie called the police after three men were spotted on her property.

It came just days after Katie found that intruders had entered her home and flooded her newly renovated kitchen by leaving taps running upstairs.

But now, Katie is leaving it all behind after moving in with Carl in Essex.

During an exclusive chat with Mirror Online, Katie said: “I’ve still got the house here with the kids for the minute, but we’re looking for somewhere. I’ve moved in with him, the kids will stay at his, but his house is the show home, it’s immaculate, but mine is more like the Jungle Book.”

She laughed: “Mine’s the Jungle Book where the kids can be as feral as they like but his is tidy, immaculate – you would spot a bit of dust if it was there.”

Katie said that work at her £2million home has ceased following the break-ins.

She said: “The doctors from The Priory have said that my house, mentally, is a place I can’t ever go back to because there’s too many memories.

“Even just walking up the driveway drives me mad, and when I’m in I want to get out of there. I can’t explain it in my head and it’s just so sad what’s happened to my house.

“It’s sad because it could be such an amazing place, but no I’m done it with. I own that house but it just literally sits there until mentally I’m ready to do something with it. It’s weird to know that I still own that big house, it just sits there, I sometimes forget that I’ve even got it.”

After all the drama, Katie and Carl are looking forward to the future.

The former glamour model says she knows things are different with Carl because she’s doing things with him that she’s never considered with anyone else.

She declared: “I’m happy, I’ve moved on, there’s loads of Mr Price wannabes out there but the truth of it is, I’m not even going to be a Price, I’m going to be a Woods.

“And I’ve never ever changed my name or my surname for a reason, because there’s obviously been something.

“I’ve never bought a house with anyone, a car, but with Carl, I’ve moved into his house and I would buy a house with him, I’d do anything with him and I’d change my surname to Woods – I’ve never done that.

“That’s how I know it’s real. I was young before, I was in my early 20s and I’m 42, and they do say in your 40s your life changes and I’m telling you, it’s been a whirlwind change, it’s been s**t but now it’s going to be good.”

And Carl is just as smitten with Katie.

He gushed as he told us: “For me, she’s a dream girl. I couldn’t fault her, she’s the pinnacle for me, it doesn’t get any better.

“I don’t have any other visions of anyone else, as far as I’m concerned Katie’s the ultimate. She’s beautiful, she’s got the biggest heart, she’s caring, she’s just very misunderstood and she’s been taken advantage of a lot of times and unfortunately when people take advantage of her, because she’s acted a bit wild in her past and we all know that she has, she’s been portrayed as an idiot, when people take the piss out of her, because that picture’s been painted of her, ultimately it’s always her fault.

“So I just want to be somebody that she can rely on and she can. I say to her all time time, ‘I just want to protect you, I’ll never let anyone take the piss out of you while you’re with me’.
