Katie Price is facing a council probe over concerns the car park of her Mucky Mansion is reportedly being used by her fiancé Carl Woods as a secondhand car lot.
Several vehicles including a VW Beetle, Mercedes, Jaguar and Range Rover have been spotted parked outside the reality star’s £2million West Sussex home over recent months.
Local council officials have now launched an investigation into claims a secondhand car business is being run from the property, according to The Sun.

Carl, 32, previously ran his dealership from his father’s Essex home but has recently upgraded the business address to Katie’s infamous property.
Local planning laws state that the storing and selling of cars from a private residence could be classified as an unauthorised “change of use”.
Katie, 44, could be forced to apply for planning permission if the council rules the car lot is “not incidental to the enjoyment of the house”.
The investigation will mark the second time council officials have investigated claims Katie’s driveway is being used by Carl as a base for his business.

Last December, officials opened their first inquiry into allegations the property was being used in the running of a second-hand car business.
The case was officially closed in March with a fresh inquiry opened earlier this month.
The new investigation is now “pending consideration”, with a verdict due to be rendered on December 5.
Katie and Carl have been plagued by split rumours over recent months but recently put on a united front at a local farm.

The duo were spotted shopping for pumpkins alongside Katie’s son Harvey, 20.
Katie was also recently supported by fans as her harrowing Channel 4 documentary Katie Price: Trauma and Me finally made it to air.
The one-off programme was initially pulled from schedule following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and aired several weeks later.
Despite their years-long romance, Carl did not feature in the programme.
