Katie Price ‘s mansion was reportedly threatened by a fire on Monday evening, after a caretaker started a bonfire next to the building.
The fire brigade were allegedly called to attend to the blaze, which began next to the 42-year-old’s Sussex property.
According to The Sun Online, neighbours grew concerned after witnessing smoke spreading from the property, spiralling from the fire.
A source told the publication: “Katie was horrified when she was called about the fire – apparently the caretaker built a huge fire right next to the house, and when it went up the side of the house was covered in flames.
“It was a huge fire – a neighbour called the fire brigade thinking the house was burning down.

“It was put out in the end but you could see the smoke billowing across the road.
“It’s the last thing Katie needs – she says the house is cursed.”
Katie’s rep told Daily Star Online: “I can confirm there was a fire at Katies property, the fire brigade attended after a call was placed reporting it.
“Katie was not on the premise at the time of the event.”
