KATIE Price said she will never return to her “mucky” Sussex mansion after moving in with her new partner.
The former glamour model said the property, near Horsham, has too many “bad memories” and her doctor has advised her to never go back.
Earlier this year, intruders broke into her house, nicknamed the “mucky mansion” leading her to hire 24/7 security guards to protect the property.
The 42-year-old has now revealed she hopes to sell the mansion after renovating it and installing a “safe room” following the repeated break-ins.
The mum-of-five has now moved in with partner, former Love Island contestant, Carl Woods in Essex.
Ms Price told The Mirror Online: “I’ve still got the house here with the kids for the minute, but we’re looking for somewhere.
“I’ve moved in with him, the kids will stay at his, but his house is the show home, it’s immaculate, but mine is more like the Jungle Book.
“Mine’s the Jungle Book where the kids can be as feral as they like but his is tidy, immaculate – you would spot a bit of dust if it was there.”
The reality-television star, who was born in Patcham, was admitted to The Priory in January for “severe trauma rehabilitation” after receiving online abuse.
The Priory rehabilitation centre provides treatment for mental illness, alcohol and drug rehabilitation and eating disorders.
Ms Price said doctors at the facility have advised her not to return to her £2million home.
She said: “The doctors from The Priory said that my house, mentally, is a place I can’t ever go back to because there’s too many memories.
“Even just walking up the driveway drives me mad, and when I’m in I want to get out of there.
“I can’t explain it in my head and it’s just so sad what’s happened to my house.
“It’s sad because it could be such an amazing place but now I’m done with it.
“I own that house but it just literally sits there until mentally I’m ready to do something with it. It’s weird to know that I still own that big house, it just sits there, I sometimes forget I’ve even got it.”
The house where Katie lived with her children included a swimming pool, tennis court and horse stables.
