    Inside Katie Price’s ‘cursed’ Mucky Mansion after she warned new owners of ‘bad luck’

    Katie Price is known for her former glamour modelling career as much as her so-called Mucky Mansion these days, and it’s clear it caused her plenty of stress over the years09:13, 19 Aug 2025Katie Price will be trying to move past her old Mucky Mansion – but it’s clearly had a lasting affect on her family. The former glamour model was evicted from the West Sussex home after being unable to make her mortgage repayments. However for a time, she was known for the dishevelled home as much as, if not more than, her modelling career.She first bought the nine-bedroom home for £2million in 2014. It would eventually go on to become the focus of a Channel 4 show, in which she tried to renovate it.But Katie had to sell it in December last year, fetching £1.5m, due to her financial issues. None of the money went to Katie, with it instead being used against debts she’d racked up.So, is it cursed as Katie reckons, or does she just have bad luck?Mucky Mansion ‘curse’Katie Price said leaving the Mucky Mansion was the ‘best thing’ she’d ever done(Image: Channel 4)Katie has previously said that she believes the house was the root of many of her issues in life.Article continues belowShe had a number of break-ins and tragedies involving the deaths of many of her pets. The reality star even said she’d seen ghosts there.In fact, the feeling is so real for Katie that she has issued a warning to whoever moves in.She told Daily Mail last year: “I hate that house. Whoever buys it, I warn them, they will get bad luck there.”It is absolutely cursed. My anxiety got worse with that house. There was a point when I couldn’t even walk up the driveway without having a panic attack.”Katie said leaving, which she insists was her choice, was the “best thing [she’s] ever done”.Haunted by ghostsKatie believed there was a ‘ghost boy’ in the home(Image: Channel 4)Katie said on The Louis Theroux Podcast that she felt a weird feeling whenever she got in the house.She said: “As soon as I get there, it’s like noise, like get me out of this place… I just can’t bear being in that house.”It’s haunted for one, genuinely is haunted, and you know when you walk in a place and it just feels heavy on you. I think that house is cursed.”Katie had previously spoke of the house being haunted by the spirit of a small child.She shared pictures she believed showed ghostly apparitions in the home – a “boy ghost” she said lived in the Mucky Mansion.It was so scary that her son Jett wouldn’t sleep in his bedroom as the “ghost attaches to him” whenever he stepped foot in it.Break-in attemptsThe home was the target of a number of alleged break-in attempts(Image: Channel 4)The Mucky Mansion was targeted a number of times, and last year, before she moved out, Katie shared images of men she believed were planning to break in.It came just days after she called the police over another group of strangers who were spotted outside her home.Sussex Police confirmed at the time they had received a report of “suspicious behaviour involving a possible break-in” at around 9pm.Two men were searched and given “words of advice” but were released as no items were discovered on them.Another time, someone got onto the property and threw a corrosive substance on her iconic pink Range Rover, stripping some of the paint.Pet deathsSeven of Katie Price’s animals died or were killed while she lived at the Mucky Mansion(Image: Channel 4)Katie lost a number of pets during her time at the Mucky Mansion, including five dogs, a horse and a chameleon. Many of the deaths saw the pet hit by cars.She said it was just “bad luck”, ensuring people that she had installed better security around the property to stop the animals getting out.However it saw people demand that Katie should not be allowed to own any more pets.She told The Sun: “When people say I shouldn’t have animals, it’s circumstances that were out of my hands.”It’s no lack of me not looking after them or anything like that. I love animals, I love nurturing.”PETA even went as far as offering her £5,000 in exchange for signing a contract which would mean she could not get another pet.’Scary’ housePrincess Andre has spoke of how ‘scary’ she found the Mucky Mansion(Image: Channel 4)Katie’s daughter Princess, 18, spoke about the Mucky Mansion as she promoted her ITV series The Princess Diaries.Article continues belowShe told The Guardian about “bad experiences” she faced there, adding: “It was a really scary house. A lot went on there. So I didn’t really like it.”Princess didn’t elaborate on any specifics, but it’s not difficult to see that Katie and her family did deal with a lot of issues there.Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?

    Katie Price’s ex Alex Reid leaks video of her counting cash in fresh bankruptcy twist

    Questions have emerged over Katie Price’s finances after a video was released showing her counting wads of cash and discussing properties and her bankruptcy with daughter Princess08:23, 19 Aug 2025Updated 09:05, 19 Aug 2025A video has emerged showing Katie Price counting stacks of cash in the middle of one of her bankruptcies. The former glamour model, who was declared bankrupt for a second time in 2024, can be seen discussing her financial state and a property referred to as “my London flat”. Now, ex-husband Alex Reid, who is spoken about in the one minute, 38 second clip, has vowed to “expose the truth”.The video sees Katie sitting with her daughter Princess Andre handling piles of money. She says she is “enjoying counting” the cash, adding she is “just sorting it out”.Believed to have been filmed in 2020, when Princess would have been around 13, the video shows the teen asking if Katie would be contributing towards her school fees.Katie Price owes Alex Reid £175,000 in High Court damages(Image: PA)Katie, who shares Princess with ex-husband Peter Andre, says: “Your dad can sit on that,” while raising a middle finger to the camera.She then asks her daughter if Peter “goes on about it a lot”. Katie adds: “Well it’s tough because I’m in bankruptcy to next May now.”Article continues belowKatie mentions “my London flat”, which, her representative claims, was “dealt with in the financial settlement proceedings” from her divorce from Peter.The video has been sent to Katie’s bankruptcy trustee who continues to “seek realisations from various third parties”.Katie was first made bankrupt in 2019 with debts of £3.5million. A second bankruptcy followed in 2024 over an unpaid HMRC bill of £7651,994. She has since been discharged from them, something she has labelled a “great achievement”.Katie Price and Alex Reid were married from 2010 to 2012(Image: Getty Images)However Alex, who Katie owes £175,000 in High Court damages after she allegedly shared a sex tape of him filmed without his consent, has said “the time has finally come to reveal all”.In the video, Katie directly mentions him, telling Princess: “Alex Reid wants money from me and he won’t be able to get it… he’s an a*** hole.”Alex said: “Over the years you have seen countless stories by Katie Price directed at me, Peter, Kieran [Hayler] and others. Today I want to be clear. I am spear-heading a campaign to expose the truth. This isn’t about gossip but about evidence. It’s not about rumour, it’s about reality. After years of silence, the time has finally come to reveal all.”Alex Reid has vowed to ‘reveal all’The former Celebrity Big Brother winner brands the footage “unbelievable” before asking if his legal team has seen it.A representative for Katie told The Mirror: “This is a video that was shared with Katie’s Trustee in Bankruptcy several months ago and Katie has fully complied with the Trustee’s investigations into the same.”The cash featured did not belong to Katie and the property referred to was dealt with in the financial settlement proceedings arising out of Katie’s divorce from Peter Andre. Katie’s Trustee in Bankruptcy is aware of the property and has undoubtedly investigated whether the same ought to be comprised in the bankruptcy estate.”Alex released the video on his social mediaKatie’s bankruptcy trustee Farheen Qureshi told the publication: “You should be aware that, notwithstanding that Ms Price has been discharged from both her first and second bankruptcies, both bankruptcies are still live and continuing and, in my capacity as her trustee, I am seeking realisations from various third parties for the respective bankruptcy estates.”I would not wish to prejudice in any way either the outcome of that hearing or the further investigations being undertaken.”Alex’s video follows another of Katie’s ex-husbands, Peter, speaking out in a very rare statement about her “repeated lies”.Article continues belowWant all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?

    BBC pulls Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘Coming Home’ documentary premiere, sparking fan outrage

    A special one-off documentary on the life of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne was due to air on the BBC tonight, but it has been pulled from the schedule at the last minute22:56, 18 Aug 2025Fans were shocked when the schedules changed and Ozzy’s documentary didn’t air (Image: Getty Images)A poignant documentary, described as a “moving and inspirational account of the last chapter” of Ozzy Osbourne’s life, was unexpectedly rescheduled without any given reason.The programme, titled ‘Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home’, was set to air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One at 9pm this evening. It promised “unique and intimate access to the whole Osbourne family”, including wife Sharon, and children Kelly and Jack. However, the one-off, hour-long documentary, which was announced earlier this month, has now mysteriously disappeared from BBC TV listings, replaced by ‘Fake or Fortune’.Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy passed away aged 76 on July 22 due to a reported heart attack, just weeks after reuniting with the band on stage for The Back To The Beginning farewell concert in Birmingham.The Osbourne’s hour-long documentary was set to air on the BBC tonight (Image: PA)Ozzy had been filming his return back to the UK, a dream he’d held onto for years.His homecoming was set to be captured in the BBC TV film, however, fans were left disappointed when it was abruptly removed from listings at the last minute. A spokesperson for the BBC told the Mirror today that the “film has moved in the schedules” and new premiere details will be shared “in due course”.Article continues belowThe BBC hasn’t clarified why ‘Coming Home’ was dropped at the eleventh hour, but sources suggest the family’s reaction to the final cut played a significant role.A source revealed to The Sun: “There have been conversations behind the scenes that maybe the BBC were rushing their show on Ozzy out – especially because Paramount+ also had a film in the offing.”Ozzy Osbourne sadly passed away last month at the age of 76(Image: Getty Images)Originally, the programme was planned as a ten-part documentary titled Home To Roost, following Ozzy and Sharon’s relocation to the UK. But following Ozzy’s death, it was transformed into a single film.The insider revealed: “What mattered the most to the family was the overall tone and theme of the programme, which features Ozzy and Sharon in one of their last interviews together.”It started to feel like the goal being pursued was that the BBC and the makers of the film were to get the show on air faster than the Paramount+ doc. Naturally that has caused some concerns with the family.”The documentary has been shot over three years and “captures the extraordinary rollercoaster of their lives” as Ozzy and Sharon “attempt to complete their long-held dream of moving back to the UK”, the BBC announced earlier this month whilst promoting the film.A source revealed that some people thought the BBC were rushing the documentary (Image: Getty Images)It also shows musician Ozzy as he “heroically battles to get fit enough to perform” and the family coping with “the dramatic consequences of his ill health”, with Kelly quoted as saying in the programme: “Iron Man wasn’t really made of iron.”The rock legend had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019.Clare Sillery, head of commissioning, BBC Documentaries, said on August 7: “We are honoured to have had the opportunity to film with Ozzy and his family. The film captures an intimate glimpse into their journey as they prepare to return to the UK.”It features family moments, humour, reflection and shows the enduring spirit that made Ozzy a global icon. We hope it brings comfort and joy to Ozzy’s fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life.”Kelly and Sharon Osbourne paid tribute to Ozzy at the Black Sabbath bridge (Image: AFP via Getty Images)Ben Wicks and Colin Barr, executive producers at production company Expectation, added: “It was an incredible privilege to spend the last few years with Ozzy , as well as Sharon, Jack and Kelly. Ozzy wanted to make it back to the UK and appear on stage one last time – our film is an inspiring and poignant account of him fulfilling that dream.”Ozzy was loved by millions around the world not just for his music, but for his sense of mischief and his honesty, all of which we saw plenty of in the final years of his life. But one thing shone through even more brightly to us, and that was Ozzy’s intense love for his exceptional family who were by his side through it all.”Article continues belowLast month, mourners joined Ozzy’s family to honour the legend as a funeral procession wound its way through Birmingham.Sharon and their children were visibly emotional upon reaching the Black Sabbath bench, where countless tributes, balloons and flowers had been placed by devoted fans. Bostin Brass musicians performed Black Sabbath tunes to accompany the funeral procession, while fans tossed flowers at the hearse as it solemnly made its way through the city.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.

However, Perrie has now bravely spoken out about the heartbreaking miscarriage they experienced less than a year after Axel was born.Speaking to Celebs Go Dating guru Paul C. Brunson on his podcast, We Need To Talk, Perrie said: “We went for what was a 20-week scan, but we were actually 22 weeks, and that was just the worst day of my life.Perrie and Alex’s son Axel will celebrate his fourth birthday this week”Like horrendous. And I just knew something was wrong in the scan, and [the doctor] just kept going over the same thing, over the same thing… I’ve never experienced an out-of-body experience where everything goes in slow motion.”Perrie added: “So then I remember sobbing. [Alex] was injured at the time and he couldn’t really drive. He was struggling to drive, but I couldn’t see straight. I was just distraught. And yeah, we basically lost the baby at like 24 weeks.”Article continues belowThis was not Perrie’s first experience with child loss, as the singer revealed Axel to be a “rainbow baby” following an earlier miscarriage during her first pregnancy. She said: “I had a miscarriage very early on with my first ever pregnancy, and it was so early. I remember finding out I was pregnant. Obviously, I started bleeding not long after, and I went to the hospital and I had the scan and they were like, ‘There’s no baby.'”Perrie was speaking to Celebs Go Dating guru Paul C. BrunsonHowever, it was the second heartbreaking experience that truly devastated Perrie, occurring after she and Alex had already started making preparations for their anticipated arrival. In the candid chat.She explained: “When you’re fully, like carrying in your 24 weeks and you’ve planned out like that room and all these things, it’s really hard. And nobody knows other than, like, immediate friends and family. And I remember, like, shortly after, like, friends would message and be like, ‘how’s the bump?’ And I’ll be like, there is no bump.”Despite enduring such anguish, Perrie reflects on pregnancy as amongst the most wonderful periods of her existence, expressing pure joy at being Axel’s mum, reports the Mirror.Perrie and her Little Mix bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock were pregnant at the same time(Image: JMEnternational for BRIT Awards/Getty Images)Perrie said: “When I was pregnant with [Axel], like, I loved being pregnant, it was one of the happiest times of my life. Like, I just love carrying babies. And it was lovely. But I was a bit on edge thinking, oh, gosh, like, I want to get past the 12 weeks. I want to get past this. And when I get past every scan and that pregnancy was complete bliss, it was perfect.”The South Shields-born singer has been with footballer Alex, who currently plays for Turkish side Beşiktaş, since 2016, after they connected on celebrity dating platform Raya. The pair became engaged in 2022 following Alex’s romantic seaside proposal, though they have kept wedding plans under wraps.Before her current romance with Alex, which Perrie characterises as “safe, calm and positive”, the star was previously engaged to former One Direction member Zayn Malik.She also spoke about her relationship with Zayn Malik(Image: @perrieedwards/Instagram)Both achieved stardom during their respective stints on The X Factor and shared a four-year relationship before calling it quits in 2015.Reflecting on that “toxic” initial romance, Perrie confessed to Paul: “I think definitely at the time I thought everything we experienced in our relationship was normal. Because it was my first relationship, first love. I was like, ‘Oh, this is how it’s supposed to feel. It’s supposed to feel a little bit toxic. In some ways, this is probably normal, right?’ And then when I became single, I was almost thinking, like, I never, ever want to go through that again. I didn’t even want to meet anybody. I was like, that’s me done. I don’t think I could bear that pain.”Article continues belowPerrie went on to say that the ordeal has made her value Alex’s calming influence more, stating: “But now, reflecting back, I’m thinking, oh, that probably wasn’t good. And I’ve noticed it a lot. Like in the start of the relationship, I would handle things differently with Alex, and he’d come at it with such a level head that it would throw me.”If you have been affected by this story, advice and support can be found at the Miscarriage Association.

    Shameless UK ‘way better than US version’ as ‘gritty’ series lands on Netflix

    The iconic UK comedy-drama Shameless has landed on Netflix and is available to stream now, and many fans believe the series is “far better” than the “Hollywood version”20:13, 18 Aug 2025Shameless UK is now available to stream on Netflix(Image: Channel 4)The original series of Shameless, set in Manchester, is considered “way better” than the US version by many viewers and is now available to watch on Netflix.The Channel 4 comedy-drama stars David Threlfall as Frank Gallagher, James McAvoy as Steve McBride, Rebecca Atkinson as Karen Maguire, Jody Latham as Lip Gallagher, Elliot Tittensor as Carl Gallagher, Rebecca Ryan as Debbie Gallagher and Tina Malone as Mimi Maguire.Shameless was a smash hit and followed the lives of the Gallagher family, their neighbours and their friends in a Manchester council estate.

Macy as Frank Gallagher, Emmy Rossum as Fiona Gallagher, Cameron Monaghan as Ian Gallagher, Ethan Cutkosky as Carl Gallagher and The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White as Lip Gallagher.Shameless US is set in the South Side of Chicago, Illinois as became Showtime’s longest-running original-scripted series.
