Princess Andre raised eyebrows this week when she branded her former home a ‘very scary place’ – confessing she had a lot of ‘bad experiences’ inside the Mucky Mansion.

Yet it’s not just Princess who has an issue with the West Sussex property, with her mother Katie Price branding the place ‘cursed’ last year, when she was evicted by bailiffs for failing to keep up on her mortgage repayments.

The glamour model exclusively told Daily Mail that she believed the home was the root of her problems following years of issues, including break ins, numerous pets dying, and even reports of ‘seeing ghosts’.

Katie claimed the home, which she lived in for a decade, was ‘hell’ and left her battling anxiety and overcome by panic attacks which forced her into therapy.

She bought the detached, nine-bedroom pile, which became renowned for its state and even subject of a reality show, for £2 million in 2014.

Katie finally sold the property in December 2024 for £1.5 million amid her financial woes. She didn’t see a penny for the sale as it was swallowed up by the debts she previously ran up against the home.

After leaving the property, she issued an ominous warning to the new owners, telling Daily Mail: ‘I hate that house. Whoever buys it, I warn them, they will get bad luck there’.

She continued: ‘It is absolute 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’.

‘I had therapy about the house. I should never have gone back there. Now I’m out of it it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.’

Katie also spoke in the past about her fears that the home is haunted by the spirit of a small child, while a number of her pets have died in the property.

In 2024 Katie shared pictures of two men she feared were trying to break into the Mansion – just days after she was forced to call police over another gang of strangers outside her home.

She posted alarming doorbell footage on Instagram of an intruder approaching the front door before walking away.

Katie followed it up with a picture of him and a second man as well as a photo of a white Ford they had parked on her driveway.

Sussex Police told Daily Mail at the time that it had received a report of ‘suspicious behaviour involving a possible break-in’ at around 9pm.

The two men were searched and given ‘words of advice’ before being released after no items were found, police said.

Katie’s treatment of animals has also come under scrutiny after five dogs, a horse, and a chameleon all died while in her care – many of them in traffic accidents near the property

It marked the latest incident to take place at the Mucky Mansion, which became the subject of a Channel 4 documentary when she attempted to install life back into the property for the last time.

Katie also revealed how someone had snuck into her property in the middle of the night and splashed a corrosive substance over the Range Rover which had some of its pink paint stripped off.

She revealed: ‘There is 24 hour security now at the property for protection.’

Ahead of her departure from her former home last May, a source said: ‘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. And she’s convinced it’s haunted.’

During her time living at her Mucky Mansion Katie’s treatment of animals also came under scrutiny after five dogs, a horse, and a chameleon all died while in her care – many of them in traffic accidents near the property.

She attributed these tragedies to ‘bad luck,’ with most occurring while she was away. She has since secured the garden of her new home to ensure her pets’ safety.

Responding to people who say she shouldn’t own animals, Katie 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.’

After reports that Katie had given away her puppy Tank due to ‘losing interest,’ PETA penned an open letter to her in February 2024.

They offered her £5,000 if she signs a contract to not acquire another animal.

‘While your intentions may be good, the ever-growing number of animals who have either died under your supervision or been given away is impossible to ignore, and people are rightly concerned,’ PETA Vice President Elisa Allen wrote, in the letter shared by The Sun.

‘Whatever you may offer as reasons for their suffering, relinquishment, or demise, the fact is that you are consistently harming these sensitive, sentient individuals, and I hope you agree that this is a solution.’

PETA added: ‘things have gone horribly wrong with many of the animals under her supervision’.

In response to the open letter, a representative of Katie’s told MailOnline: ‘Katie has asked PETA many times to have a conversation with her directly, but instead they continue to play the narrative out in the media.’

‘If they want to have a direct conversation with Kate they can get in touch.’

‘Isn’t it a waste of charity money or have they got funds available to give out to celebrities, which should be going towards animals?’

Leading animal charity PETA has previously slammed Katie after her seventh pet died in her care – saying she has ‘blood on her hands’.

On the ‘chaotic’ life at Katie’s Sussex home, which has become famous for its dilapidated state and repossessions, Princess admitted ‘bad experiences’ happened in the house: ‘It was a really scary house. A lot went on there. So I didn’t really like it.’

While Princess did not specify what her own experiences were, Katie has famously sworn the home is haunted while also being victim of attacks on her home.

Reflecting on the house, Princess said: ‘No. It was a really scary house. A lot went on there. So I didn’t really like it. I guess when you have bad experiences somewhere you don’t like the place.’

Discussing contrasts of life at her parents’ respective homes, Princess went on: ‘Dad’s house is a lot quieter, a lot more peaceful, a lot more organised. Whereas my mum’s house is much more just do what you want…

‘I love being in the middle. I love the two different houses, because if I fancy a bit more chaotic and busy I’ll go to Mum’s and if I fancy more relaxed I’ll go to Dad’s.’

Princess went on to reflect on her mum and dad’s fractious relationship, in the wake of scandal surrounding her absence on the reality show.
