Katie Price finds new home as she rents £4,500 a month three bed mansion in the countryside

The Sun7 days ago
KATIE Price is moving into a stunning £4,500 mansion after securing a guarantor for the rental.
The 47-year-old star was facing homelessness after her previous landlord decided to sell the property she has been staying in.

But with just days to spare, she has secured a guarantor for her new home, which is a three-bed barn conversion.
Katie needed to stump up £5,192 for the deposit for the long-term rental.
The rural retreat features floor to ceiling windows and doors, vaulted ceilings, a large kitchen and living room with a cosy wood-burning stove inside a brick fireplace.
A mezzanine sitting room overlooks the light and airy living area and gives a closer view of the exposed wooden beams in the ceiling.
Speaking on The Katie Price Show podcast with her sister Sophie last month, mum-of-five Katie explained her current tenancy was running out.
She said: 'I was supposed to have this place for about two years. The guy who owns it – such a nice guy – he let me have the place even though I didn't have a guarantor.
"And I've been on time with all the payments, as you should, bills and everything. But now he wants to sell it.'
Katie added that trying to find a new home proved more difficult than expected – even with her good track record as a tenant.
She said: 'It p****s me off. Some houses I look at, I can't get a guarantor. Some people don't earn enough to be one for me.
"One house I do want, the landlord wants six months' rent up front and a guarantor – even though I've got the best reference ever from this guy.
Katie Price moans 'oh my god I'm so ugly' as she shows off BALD eyelids after removing fake lashes and make-up
'It's so annoying. Because that guy has read the papers and that, I get judged on it.'
TV personality Katie was evicted from her dilapidated Mucky Mansion last year amid financial issues.
Her former home became synonymous with its shabby look and constant need for repair.
After being kicked out, Katie moved into her current four-bedroom house in Sussex.
Earlier this year, we exclusively revealed a buyer had snapped up the Mucky Mansion for less than Katie paid for it in 2014.
The rundown pad, which has nine bedrooms and four bathrooms, was bought for £1.15million - £200,000 less than Katie paid for it.
She previously insisted it was worth at least £2million.

Katie Price's missing millions
At the peak of her career Katie had an estimated fortune of £45m, thanks to her lucrative modelling career, book deals, and TV appearances.
The cash-strapped mum-of-five was first declared bankrupt in 2019 over unpaid debts of £3.2 million.
In a podcast interview earlier this year, she blamed her exes who include Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler and lawyers for her money woes.
She insisted that funding her exes' lavish lifestyles with cars, watches, luxury holidays and homes left her finances in tatters.
She added: "I went through a breakdown, this is how mine started - lawyers and exes, that is my bankruptcy thing.
"And obviously a bit of HMRC.
"When I had my breakdown, if anyone has been depressed… I don't know if you've ever had depression.
"It starts with depression and you just want to sleep all day and not talk to anyone, the phone would ring and you wouldn't answer it.'
In March, Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.
The demand for payment was made by HMRC last October.
Katie was due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court but failed to turn up - holidaying in Cyprus with her new man JJ Slater instead.
Her Mucky Mansion was a bomb site for years after it was burgled, flooded and swamped by an overflowing septic tank.
She finally moved out at the end of May and is renting a four-bed mansion in Sussex.

UK-Based Forte Antique Quietly Builds a Global Backbone for Custom Music in the Creator Economy

With content platforms demanding speed, rights, and sonic originality, Forte Antique is becoming a go-to partner for businesses investing in audio as intellectual property.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The internet's economy is no longer driven by just visuals and code — it's driven by sound. And while consumers are familiar with playlists and streaming hits, the real transformation is happening behind the scenes, where music is being treated less like entertainment and more like infrastructure. At the center of this shift is Forte Antique, a UK-based music production firm that has become a silent force in reshaping how content platforms, creative agencies, and app developers acquire their soundtracks. Unlike licensing-based models, Forte Antique delivers fully owned, custom-produced music — offering companies not access, but asset ownership. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad As digital ecosystems race to create immersive brand experiences, industry experts say that companies are rethinking how they source music — and who controls it. "Composing in the Shadows: A music producer reviews her session in a dimly lit studio — part of the growing workforce behind the fully owned audio economy." A Digital Supply Chain Powered by Sound From Derry to Dubai, platforms today rely on quick-turnaround content for mobile, video, podcasts, and interactive media. But the typical licensing model — often tangled with usage limits and royalty obligations — no longer suits the needs of fast-moving businesses. Enter firms like Forte Antique, whose business model mirrors that of a private-label manufacturer — only for music. Instead of offering searchable libraries to the public, Forte Antique works in the background: Building custom music packs by genre Crafting sonic identities for platforms and startups Delivering white-label soundtracks ready for rebranding Operating recurring supply models for enterprise clients Each track is composed, delivered, and assigned with zero reuse, zero royalties, and zero legal ambiguity. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'What we're seeing is the professionalization of music procurement,' said a UK-based entertainment lawyer. 'Forte Antique isn't selling tracks. It's delivering assets with business utility — like owning a film, codebase, or original design.' Why Business Ownership of Music Is Booming This quiet shift in strategy is rooted in real-world concerns: Avoiding copyright flags on social platforms Securing global usage rights from day one Differentiating brand sound from competitors Integrating music into long-term products and IP portfolios The growing demand spans industries. Royalty-free platforms want exclusive music to protect catalog value. Agencies seek scalable assets for client campaigns. Apps want UX sounds that don't expire. Even AI voice and metaverse developers are sourcing music they can control. Forte Antique, with a team of 50+ composers across Europe and Asia, has capitalized on this demand by offering flexible models that support growth, privacy, and platform-agnostic use. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Originality at Scale — Without Licensing Fatigue Whether it's ten acoustic themes for a mindfulness app or a hundred trap beats for a streaming hub, Forte Antique delivers sound at volume without compromising exclusivity. Clients choose from 14 musical genres and receive audio assets in multiple formats (WAV, MP3, STEMS) with embedded metadata. It's a clean transaction — built for integration, not repetition. 'You can think of them as a silent factory for the global audio layer,' said a creative director at a European content agency. 'They're not just producing music. They're supplying infrastructure.' What This Means for Business in the UK and Beyond Forte Antique's model highlights a larger business trend: the shift from subscription-based digital services to asset acquisition in creative industries. As UK startups and agencies explore ways to own more of their digital supply chain, services like this — invisible to the end-user — are becoming mission-critical.

Insiders reveal what Andy Carroll's family REALLY think about ex Lou Teasdale after pair's holiday drama & ‘toxic' split

The former England ace's ex-girlfriend broke her silence on claims her friends 'hate' Andy after bubbling tension behind closed doors NOT A KEEPER Insiders reveal what Andy Carroll's family REALLY think about ex Lou Teasdale after pair's holiday drama & 'toxic' split Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN Andy Carroll's turbulent relationship with Lou Teasdale finally ended, there were more sighs of relief than shocked gasps from the footballer's loved ones. Ever since the breakdown of his two-year marriage to long-term partner Billi Mucklow, those close to the dad-of-five have secretly worried behind the scenes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Andy Carroll with his ex Lou Teasdale Credit: instagram 5 Andy with his parents, ex Billi Mucklow and their three kids Credit: Instagram The couple's 'toxic' romance, pals say, took its toll on the ex Premier League striker - who's gone through one of the toughest years of his life yet. Despite the painful break-up, it's hoped this - and his recent return to England playing for Dagenham & Redbridge - will be the fresh start Andy needs to get back to being himself. An insider told The Sun: 'Behind all the glitz and glamour on social media, Andy's been really going through it. 'He was recently on a family holiday with Lou and his parents, talking about the future now he's back home in England. 'It's undeniable that Andy misses parts of how his life once was. "He's become dependent on Lou who has undoubtedly been there for him, but everyone can see they don't bring out the best in each other. 'It's been very toxic for a long time, which Andy's loved ones have seen first-hand. 'They've been worried about the dynamics of their relationship. They like Lou, but little things would often turn into big arguments. 'It came from a place of passionate, intense love, as there's so much deep feeling there between them, but ultimately it just doesn't work. 'Their fallouts in public would cause a scene. So much so, the police were even called out in Mykonos. 'Everyone who loves Andy just wants him to get back to himself, in a happy and more stable place.' Ex-England star Andy Carroll DUMPS Lou Teasdale after police quiz over boozy rows as he tells pals he's 'sick' of her Holiday drama The ex-couple got together weeks after he split from Towie star Billi, mum to three of his five kids, in summer 2024. But they called it quits two months after Andy was twice-quizzed by cops over drunken bust-ups with Lou on the Greek party island of Mykonos. He was warned after their first argument at a beachside restaurant, then taken to the police station after a second row at their hotel that evening. Andy was not arrested, and it is understood that no further action was taken. Yesterday, we told of their fiery break-up after their clashing lifestyles reached boiling point. Sources said teetotal Lou would prefer Andy to quit drinking - and hoped to work through their issues. 5 Andy poses with Lou Teasdale at his signing on a free transfer for non-league side Dagenham & Redbridge in July Credit: Ian Whittaker 5 The footballer is back playing in England after leaving France Credit: Getty She slapped down reports that her friends 'hated' Andy - insisting they had nothing but love for the former Newcastle footballer. 'Nasty and not true', said Lou - who counts pop star Harry Styles as a close pal - in a post on Instagram. The celebrity make-up artist was wiped off Andy's social media before news of their split broke. But she has kept loved-up snaps of them together on Instagram - even though he unfollowed her. Our source added: "Andy has been adamant that he just wants to focus on football and his kids. "But he still has so much love for Lou, so friends are worried they'll both be dragged back into the toxic relationship. "They're both taking time to work out their next steps. Andy needs to find what makes him truly content and happy."

Blaze FM review – high-energy history of pirate radio station

This story of a pirate radio station is also the story of a marginalised community. When they hear a bang on the door, the DJs of the illegal Blaze FM, youngsters and veterans alike, assume the authorities have spotted their antenna and come to shut them down. That is only rarely the case. As the early years of this century slip by, many other flashpoints from the outside world find their way into the Hackney council flat from where they broadcast. The attack on the World Trade Center brings anti-Muslim reprisals; violence associated with the drill scene leads to the banning of songs; the proliferation of knives results in the death of a friend; and redevelopment brings the threat of gentrification. The past, too, makes its mark: new information about the death of PC Keith Blakelock in the Broadwater Farm riots of 1985 gets the police interested in Hughbert Smith (Andrew Brown), the radio station founder who, under the government's hostile environment, faces deportation. It is a grim tally, made harder to swallow by the station's evident role in community cohesion. The dialogue can sometimes be clunky as the play races through the years, and the novelty of YouTube turns into the novelty of podcasting, but the seriousness of the theme and the sheer exuberance of the live music keeps energy levels high. Co-written by James Meteyard and grime MC Jammz, it is briskly directed by Maggie Norris for The Big House, which supports care-affected young people. Taking turns on the mic, a reticent Jason (Alexander Lobo Moreno) reinvents himself as Big J, a formidable MC, impressing fellow rappers Alpha (Aliaano El-Ali) and Pritstik (Marcus Reiss), plus the sweet-voiced Aisha (Anais Lone), an aspiring lawyer. Their grime and jungle beats are the defiant response of a community under siege. At Pleasance Courtyard, Edinburgh, until 25 August All our Edinburgh festival reviews
