Katie Price has already issued a major warning to anyone considering buying her “cursed” Mucky Mansion.
However, it seems her words fell on deaf ears as her home was reported to have sold just weeks after being put on the market.
The Horsham, West Sussex, home has been put up for sale for £1.5million after the former glamour model was evicted by bailiffs for failing to make her mortgage payments.
However, Katie had gone to great lengths to warn potential buyers as she admitted to suffering panic attacks when walking down the driveway and told new owners to prepare for “bad luck” in an exclusive chat to MailOnline.
Katie, who was unable to pay the mortgage on the house amid her ongoing bankruptcy troubles, had many problems with the house over the years, including break-ins, structural problems and reports of “seeing ghosts.”

The Horsham, West Sussex, home has been put up for sale for £1.5million after the former glamour model was evicted by bailiffs for failing to make her mortgage payments.
In an interview with MailOnline in June, Katie insisted it had been her decision to leave and that it marked a new chapter in her life.
The mother of five insisted: “I’ve been wanting to get out of my old house for years. It’s been hell. I’ve never had any luck in that house.”
Katie continued: “I hate that house. Whoever buys it, I warn you, they will have bad luck there.”
“It’s absolutely cursed. My anxiety got worse with that house. There was a point where I couldn’t even walk up to the front door without having a panic attack.
“I got therapy because of the house. I should never have gone back there. Now that I’m not there anymore, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.”
On Monday, estate agents HJ Burt & Son confirmed they had received an offer on the nine-bedroom home – and the new buyer clearly ignored Katie’s words.

Katie posted alarming doorbell footage on Instagram showing an intruder approaching her front door before walking away.
He then added a photo of himself and a second man, as well as a photo of a white Ford they had parked in their driveway.
Sussex Police told MailOnline it had received a report of “suspicious behaviour involving a possible burglary” at around 9pm. The two men were searched and given “advice” before being released after nothing was found, police said.

She revealed: ‘There is now 24-hour security on the property for their protection.’
Katie hopes her new family home, which includes a double garage and open-plan kitchen, will be a safe haven for her brood.
However, after seeing her new property, confused fans questioned how she had managed to afford the £4,995 monthly payment amid her financial troubles.
Speaking to MailOnline, Katie criticised the scrutiny over her finances, insisting: “I’m fed up with dealing with this bankruptcy story. I’ve sorted it out.”

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I earn good money. I make good money. I’ve sorted my situation out and it is what it is. I’m getting better now.”
