KATIE Price’s “mucky mansion” could be repossessed, a court has heard as she pleaded guilty to drink driving following a crash near her home.

The former glamour model appeared in the dock at Crawley Magistrate’s Court wearing a pink jumper following the collision on the B2135 near Partridge Green on Tuesday morning.

Defence solicitor Joe Harrington said Price could have her Horsham home, known as the “mucky mansion”, repossessed as she faces bankruptcy.

He said: “She has had a lot of personal problems recently.

“Currently she is in the process of bankruptcy proceedings, so her house may be repossessed.”

The 43-year-old snapped up the sprawling Sussex home for £1.3million in 2014 but the property fell into disrepair as she struggled with her mental health and checked herself into The Priory.

Earlier this year, she was seen clearing out the home with her partner Carl Woods after vowing to never return following advice from doctors.

During her appearance in court today, Price was charged with driving while unfit to drive through drink, using a motor vehicle on a public place without third party insurance and driving while disqualified.

After being confronted by police at the scene, Price was heard saying “I took drugs, I should not be driving, I admit it all”, the court heard.

A drugs wipe gave a positive reading for cocaine, prosecutor Debbie Jones said.

An image shared by police from the scene on Tuesday showed a car flipped on its side.

Officers responded to the crash at around 6.20am, where Price was arrested on suspicion of driving while above the legal limit for alcohol and drugs, and was taken to hospital.

Mr Harrington argued that the driving was a “one-off” incident.

He added: “As I understand it she had been drinking, she was lonely and she decided to go and see a friend who lived a relatively short distance away and that is when the incident happened.”

He asked magistrates to defer the sentencing for several weeks.

The two magistrates, including chair of the bench Julie Hutton, have risen to consider their decision.
