Katie Price faces a bleak Christmas, as she was forced to sign over her £2million so-called ‘mucky mansion’ after being declared bankrupt, according to reports. The 41-year-old, who is currently having extensive renovation work done on the Sussex mansion, now faces homelessness. It comes after Katie, who was once worth £45million, was declared bankrupt at the High Court in November after failing to settle debts via a payment plan. Now, according to Sunday People, Land Registry documents confirmed Katie – who has just returned from a glitzy NYC trip – was recently forced to sign her 11-bed mansion over to her trustee. A source said: ‘Katie faces being made homeless any day if the property is sold now that the bankruptcy charge has been applied.’ Katie bought the extensive pile in Horsham, West Sussex, from ex-Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude in 2014 for £1.3million.
據報道，“波霸喬丹”凱蒂•普萊斯（Katie Price）在被宣佈破產後，被迫簽字轉讓200萬英鎊的所謂“骯髒豪宅”，面臨著一個黯淡的聖誕節。現年41歲的他目前正在對蘇塞克斯豪宅進行大規模的翻修工作，現在面臨無家可歸的困境。此前，曾身價4500萬英鎊的凱蒂在去年11月被高等法院宣佈破產，原因是她未能通過一項付款計劃解決債務。現在，據《星期日人物》報道，土地註冊處的文件證實，凱蒂最近被迫將她的11間臥室的豪宅籤給了她的受託人。凱蒂剛剛從紐約市一次光彩奪目的旅行回來。一位消息人士說：“現在破產指控成立，房屋要出售，凱蒂隨時面臨無家可歸的情況。”凱蒂2014年以130萬英鎊的價格從前內閣辦公廳部長弗朗西斯·莫德手中買下了位於西蘇塞克斯郡霍爾沙姆的一大堆房產。
The sprawling mansion stands in 12.25 acres and once boasted a glistening swimming pool which has now been drained and is barely a murky puddle, as well as overgrown tennis courts, unused stables and paddocks – with a small green area to the back of the home that sports play equipment for her young children. The mansion currently lies in a state of disrepair, with the star candidly speaking about the renovations needed on her reality show My Crazy Life. Fans were also treated to a guided tour of the house on Katie’s YouTube channel where she showed off her home in the middle of the renovation.
這座佔地12.25英畝的豪宅曾經擁有一個波光粼粼的游泳池，現在已經被排幹了水，幾乎不是一個陰暗的水坑，此外還有雜草叢生的網球場、未使用的馬廄和圍場——在家的後面有一個小綠地，可以為她的孩子們提供體育遊戲設備。這座豪宅目前處於年久失修的狀態，這位明星在真人秀《我的瘋狂生活》中坦率地談到了裝修的必要性。在凱蒂的YouTube頻道上，歌迷們還可以在導遊的帶領下參觀這座房子，凱蒂在裝修過程中展示了自己的家。
She explained: ‘My house… Everyone is calling it “mucky mansion”. Yes, because I’m not living in my house. It’s empty. ‘I’m doing stuff to it and something has gone wrong. I’ll explain that in due course. I have builders inside my house, my post gets moved here, there and everywhere.’ Katie had revealed she moved out of the main home and into her annexe while the works were being done, with reports emerging she also splits her time between boyfriend Kris Boyson’s house in Kent as well as staying with family and friends.
她解釋道：“我的房子……大家都叫它‘骯髒的宅邸’。”。是的，因為我不住在我的房子裡。它是空的。“我做了一些事情，但出了點問題。我會在適當的時候解釋的。我的房子裡有建築工人，我的工作地點在這裡、那裡或任何地方。凱蒂曾透露，在工程完工時，她搬出了主樓，搬進了自己的附屬建築。有報道稱，她住在男友克里斯·博伊森（Kris Boyson）位於肯特的房子或者與家人和朋友住在一起。
To add to Katie’s money woes – after she recently claimed she spent £1,000 on her weekly grocery shop – the star has been ordered to pay ex-husband Alex Reid £150,000 following a legal battle amid revenge porn claims. Back in 2018, Katie miraculously swerved bankruptcy by entering an IVA after facing £22,000 in debt. Her luck ran out though and in November, the star’s statement pink Range Rover was pictured on sale at a used car dealership in Essex, with a sign reading ‘repo’ on the window signalling it had been repossessed.
加之凱蒂最近聲稱自己每週花1000英鎊在雜貨店購物，她還面臨著更大的經濟困境。在一場因色情片復仇而引發的法律糾紛後，凱蒂被勒令向前夫亞歷克斯•裡德支付15萬英鎊。早在2018年，凱蒂在面臨2.2萬英鎊的債務後，通過進入IVA，奇蹟般地扭轉了破產的局面。不過，她的運氣現在已經沒有了，11月，這位明星的座駕粉色路虎攬勝在埃塞克斯的一家二手車經銷店被拍到在出售，車窗上有一個寫著“回購”的標誌，表明它已經被收回。
