Katie Price has been left horrified after her new dream home turned out to reportedly be infested with hundreds of rats.

Katie has been renting the property since the summer, after briefly staying with a palwhile she renovated her famous ‘mucky mansion’, and has since made the move permanent after deciding her former family home was “cursed”.

But it looks like her new property might not be much better as within months of moving in she’s had to beg the landlord for help after discovering the troubling rat problem.

"There are hundreds of them trying to get into the house from outside - everyone thinks they've come over from a nearby garden centre which has rat problems, and have been attracted by the bins,” a source told The Sun.

A birds-eye view of Katie's country mansion and expansive fleet of cars. Sadly, you can't see her jeep that was famously removed from eBay after £66k in bids.

And the back of Katie's country home looks EVEN bigger up close. Her expansive tudor-style mansion is set on a plot of large land in the sussex countryside.

Fans were shocked at the mess when Katie Price let Keith Lemon give a tour round her home - with some even slating her for living like a pig - but it looks like the Pricey has bought an even pricier cleaner to get the place looking a lot tidier.

Katie's home may be decked head to toe in glitter, silver ornaments and crushed velvet furnishings, but it looks like the mum of five has chosen to keep some of the original features - like these solid oak doors.

Speaking of the silver ornaments, let's take a look at the decor that lines Katie's side tables and shelves. This sweet snap in black and white is our fave.

And there are plenty more cute family snaps. This one gets all of the kids into one picture without any funny faces or any painful attempts to capture awkward 'cheese' smiles.

Not that we can smell through the photo, but those room diffusers just look like they would smell nice, right? Katie opts for a metallic and monochrome theme throughout.

Nothing spruces up the home more than flowers - this beautiful bunch even made it to Katie's Instagram feed. Valentine's present or just a gift to herself? Either way, they're GORGEOUS.

It's fair to say the living room is pretty grand - and it needs to be big to fit all five kids in at the same time. Check out that glitzy light fitting...

No chill-out night on the sofa is complete with matching dressing gowns with the whole family. And no cheesy family photoshoot is complete without a descending height-order pic. Obviously.

Katie's gigantic bed looks pretty plush with the rows of countless cushions, opulent throw and glamorous headboard. With all of those cushions, we dread to think how long it takes to make the bed in the morning.

On each side of Katie's extravagant bed is an equally as fancy side table and matching lampshades. Because when your house is this glamorous, why not?

Not stopping at the traditional bedroom furniture, Katie has a crushed velvet sofa underneath the bay window in her bedroom. Oh, and a huge TV.

Her big brood may have free roam of the 9 bedroom house, but it looks like this is Katie's calm corner. Although saying that, she has previously admitted that Jett and Bunny are regulars at her dressing table - not to mention Princess, who has come under fire for her makeup selfies.

Katie's marriage with Kieran came to a very final and bitter end on Katie's reality show, and producers even captured Kieran walking out the door - quite literally.

Katie fools around with her beloved mum, Amy in the guest bedroom. The mother and daughter prove that family can be bestfriends, too.

Now onto the kids' bedrooms... have you ever seen anything quite like this? We never thought we'd be putting chandelier and giant lego into the same sentence, but here we are.

And this palatial pink bedroom for one of Katie's brood puts her swanky master bedroom to shame.

Despite ditching her luxury cars for caravans at the end of 2018, it looks like Katie has still kept some of her impressive fleet. Here she poses in front of one of her many vehicles.

"It's horrible and Katie's terrified - the cat keeps bringing them in and it causes chaos. She's complained to the landlord and hopefully they'll sort it out."

It’s no wonder Katie wanted to start afresh with a new home after her old country mansion was plagued by one issue after another.

In 2018, she claimed the house was haunted after seeing “ghosts come through my mirror” and shared a creepy video with fans, who seemed to agree.

Later that year, after being declared bankrupt, it was deemed “unsellable” due its state of disrepair. This year she decided to renovate it but while work has been ongoing, vandals have broken in and flooded the basement and in September the emergency services were called to a fire at the property.

“It was a huge fire - a neighbour called the fire brigade thinking the house was burning down,” said a source at the time. “It was put out in the end but you could see the smoke billowing across the road. She says the house is cursed.”
