‘It’s mine and nobody can take it away’ insists Katie Price as she launches into rant about Mucky Mansion and bankruptcy
KATIE Price launched into a rant about her Mucky Mansion and the bankruptcy woes live on stage.
The former I'm A Celebrity campmate owes over £750,000 to the taxman.
At her last hearing - held at the Rolls Building in London - the court heard she owes HMRC a total of £761,194.05.
But it seems Katie, 45, is determined to keep on going as she gave an inspirational talk at an event.
Appearing alongside a moderator, the star got candid with the audience about the problems that she has so far faced in her life.
"You've followed my life, my journey, I say it as it is. Yes, I'm in a bankruptcy," the My Mucky Mansion star explained.

"But guess what? I own my house. No one could take it off me as well."
The former Loose Women personality went onto describe the mental breakdown she had.
Katie explained why that was the main factor behind her money troubles, and how she is getting better.
She declared: "I had a breakdown. And I don't know if any of you have had a breakdown or been depressed or anything.
"And you didn't communicate with things ... and then you don't answer letters.
"Then it gets in the red. This, that and the other, then you're like, I can't cope, I can't cope and you hide away. That's basically what happened to me.
"So then I had therapy. Got out of it, and I'm like, 'Right, it's not as bad as you think'
"Just start communicating these people, start it all up, and then you get out of it.
"Yeah, You have to do payment plans and whatever. It doesn't matter, Never be ashamed of it, I'm not ashamed of it."
The former Celebrity Big Brother star insists that she has more to offer despite her fame, more potential left in her and she's building up her brand up again from the ground up.
"I think cos when you get there, then there's another opportunity, you grow and you grow, in my eyes I haven't made it," Katie said.
"What I've gone through now I'm just at the beginning again and I'm gonna grow it again."
This comes after a property expert claimed the ‘Mucky Mansion’ could be “unsellable" due to its squalid state and it being tarnished with her name.
As a result of her unpaid tax bill, her four-bedroom country estate faces repossession.
Under the terms of Katie's bankruptcy, it would take "exceptional circumstances” for her to keep hold of the messy house, which is in the quaint village of Dial Post, Horsham, West Sussex.

The property has been like a bomb site for years, having been burgled and flooded and it fell victim to an overflowing septic tank.
Her ex-fiance Carl Woods also used the garden as a vehicle forecourt for his car business.
