KATIE Price has reportedly landed a £45,000 payday for her new “mucky mansion” renovation TV series.
The Channel 4 series will see the Brighton-born former glamour model renovate her 10-acre, 19-room property in Horsham.
The show, called Katie Price’s Mucky Mansion, is set to air tonight.
“Katie hit the jackpot with the show - she got a £45,000 fee and didn't have to put any of her own money into the project,” a source told The Sun.
“The costs are being paid by the production company and she's landed a lot of freebies from companies who want the exposure of being on her show or her social media.”
A trailer for the show saw Katie at the top of a cherry picker, where she accidentally drops a chimney pot off the roof, knocking the guttering off the side of the house.
Another clip shows her in a gardening centre with son Harvey where she buys artificial turf to be used as wallpaper for her son Jett’s bedroom.
A spokesperson for Channel 4 told MailOnline: “Production did not pay for the costs of any renovations of the house.”
The alleged payday will be a welcome financial boost for Katie after her latest bankruptcy hearing was delayed until February 2022.
She was also given a 16-week suspended prison sentence and 100 hours of unpaid work after her drink-driving crash on the B2135 near Partridge Green in September.
She was also disqualified from driving for two years.
The new documentary series will explore the events that led up to the crash and the consequences of her actions.
It will also document the steps she is taking to rebuild her life, as well as feature some of those helping her to recover, according to Channel 4.
“My house has been called the Mucky Mansion in the past, but it’s not that anymore, I’m making it a home,” Katie previously said.
“I’m getting my hands dirty and doing a lot of the work myself and, with the help of my amazing family and some brilliant friends, I’m putting the past behind me and rebuilding.
“My house is a bit like my life, it’s being put back together like I’m being put back together.”
Clemency Green, commissioning editor for Channel 4, said: “In Katie Price’s Mucky Mansion, we see a different side to Katie and learn more about her battle with mental health, as well as seeing her close bond with her family. It’s compelling viewing.”
In a recent interview on Good Morning Britain, , Katie said: “I’ve made the decision, finally, to see a
Katie also recently announced she will be releasing her eighth autobiography, which will include tales of her stay at The Priory.
She has previously released seven autobiographies - Being Jordan, A Whole New World, Pushed to the Limit, You Only Live Once, Love, Lipstick and Lies and Reborn.
The book documented her life with her eldest son Harvey, who suffers from autism, blindness and genetic disorder Prader-Willi syndrome.
