Moment Katie Price’s mansion is surrounded by bailiffs on eviction day
SHOCK footage showed the moment Katie Price’s Mucky Mansion was surrounded by bailiffs today as she was officially evicted from her £2million home.
The former glamour model, 45, appeared unbothered as she updated her fans about having her 17th boob job, posting a photo from her surgery bed while abroad.
At least 10 officials have turned up to the £2million Horsham property, pulling up in five vehicles including a Ford Transit van.
The bailiffs were joined by security staff, who are believed to have been used to guard the site.
Officials were inside for nearly an hour before leaving and keys have been retrieved by the mortgage lender.
It comes after the reality star was slapped with the eviction notice earlier this year amid her bankruptcy battle.
A letter previously seen by The Sun, was reportedly pinned to a fence outside the property ordering Katie to leave.
It read: “The court has issued a warrant or writ for the possession of the above property (land) at the request of the claimant.
The property has been sat derelict since the mum-of-five was handed the order – which was previously extended by a month.
It comes after the former Loose Women personality took to social media to show fans her moving preparations and “yard sale”.
She shared a video on her Instagram story which featured her kitchen.
The large room was scattered with household items boxed and ready to go.
Among the items viewers could see were her grey and peach coloured crushed velvet sofas and a cross trainer for working out.
She also listed a number of the furnishings on Facebook Marketplace to flog what she could before leaving.
Three large removal trucks were spotted arriving at the end of May to clear the property.
An insider said previously: “Katie has been dreading this day for so long but now it is here, she can’t wait to leave.
“The house has caused her so much grief and was too much to handle on her own. With work and the kids, it all became too much in recent years.
“She’s convinced it’s haunted.”
Pictures on Wednesday showed huge amounts of rubbish and debris left piled up outside the mansion.
The outdoor swimming pool was covered in green algae, looking it came out of an apocalyptic movie set.
Even a deserted mobility scooter was seen parked outside the garage.
Amid the chaos, Katie was on Wednesday updating her Instagram followers about her boob job.
In a series of stories, she tagged a Belgian plastic surgeon saying he was the “best in the business”.
She boasted that she was “first on the list” and thanked JJ Slater for his support, as well as stating she couldn’t wait for Dublin pride celebrations.
The Sun also exclusively revealed snaps that showed the former glamour model’s garden strewn with piles of rubbish and old furniture.
Debris sat on muddy ground surrounded by overgrown bushes, next to a fleet of vehicles including her infamous pink Range Rover.
The 3.5 acre mansion’s outdoor swimming pool is also plagued by green algae.
Photos revealed how Pricey left behind a large 5ft glitter sign of her daughter’s name “Princess” in the muck heap by the stable block.
Unwanted sofas and wardrobes also lay abandoned throughout the £2million pad.
Katie’s Mucky Mansion has been a bomb site for years having been burgled, flooded, and fallen prey to an overflowing septic tank.
But the former Celebrity Big Brother star previously denied she was being evicted from the mansion.
She said: “My house isn’t being repossessed, I’m not being evicted and I’m not moving into a caravan, although if I had to live in a caravan, you know what the travellers have, I would love that.

Katie Price’s missing millions
At the peak of her career Katie had an estimated fortune of £45m, thanks to her lucrative modelling career, book deals, and TV appearances.
The cash-strapped mum-of-five was first declared bankrupt in 2019 over unpaid debts of £3.2 million.
In a podcast interview earlier this year she blamed her exes who include Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler and lawyers for her money woes.
She insisted that funding her exes’ lavish lifestyles with cars, watches, luxury holidays and homes left her finances in tatters.
She added: “I went through a breakdown, this is how mine started – lawyers and exes, that is my bankruptcy thing.
“And obviously a bit of HMRC.
“When I had my breakdown, if anyone has been depressed …. I don’t know if you’ve ever had depression…
“It starts with depression and you just want to sleep all day and not talk to anyone, the phone would ring and you wouldn’t answer it.’
Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time in March over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.
The demand for payment was made by HMRC last October.
Katie was due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court but failed to turn up – holidaying in Cyprus with her new man JJ Slater instead.
Her Mucky Mansion was a bomb site for years after it was burgled, flooded and swamped by an overflowing septic tank.
She finally moved out at the end of May and is currently renting a four-bed mansion in Sussex.
