Katie Price boasts she earns ‘really good money’ but claims she can’t rent anywhere to live after bankruptcy hell
KATIE Price has claimed she’s being discriminated against by rich landlords after her bankruptcy hell – despite earning tons of cash.
The 47-year-old star was declared bankrupt twice in 2019 and then again last year over a huge unpaid tax bill.
She was discharged from both bankruptcies in March, a year after her Mucky Mansion was repossessed.
Despite being allowed to buy property, people who have been made bankrupt find it difficult to get a mortage.
But Katie says she can’t even rent a property that she really loves because landlords keep turning her down.
She said: “When you’ve been in a bankruptcy you just can’t get anything it’s so annoying.
“I earn such good money, I earn like I did back in the day.
“I earn such good money but it makes no difference if you earn the money.
“Once you got that black mark against your name it’s against your name there’s nothing you can do.”
She continued on her podcast: “Even when I go to rent a house, right, and it’s like … soon as they know it’s my name… it’s discrimination. They’re like, no, no, no. I’m like, why? Is it because of what you’ve read?
“Does it really matter? I’ve got the money, I can pay up front, I can do that.
“No. It’s the name that puts people off. It’s such discrimination.
“So places I’ve looked at to rent they’re like, ‘oh, yeah, yeah’, then book me in to see it.
“Then I get a call, and they’re like, the owner has decided to rent to someone else now. Then I still see it up.”
Katie – who is driving again after her latest ban was lifted – moved into a £3,750-a-month country pile in the Sussex countryside after leaving her Mucky Mansion.
It comes as her daughter Princess, who turns 18 next month, has vowed to be a millionaire by the time she turns 20.
Becoming an influencer in her own right, Princess has already signed brand ambassador deals with high street beauty chain Superdruge and online retailer PrettyLittleThing, and has launched her own jewellery range.
Princess is following in her mum’s footsteps and has also landed her own TV show on ITV.
The series will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at her home life and early modelling career.
A TV insider said: “Princess is very conscious of the fact her mum got famous very early in her career, so Katie is a big inspiration to her.
“Bagging her own TV show is a huge deal, but producers are keen to stress it is about her and not her famous parents.
“Both Katie and Peter are likely to feature, though it will likely be more as cameo stars.”
