KATIE Price is battling to save her once described ‘Mucky Mansion’ after its Channel 4 makeover.
The 44-year-old star has cleared piles of unloved junk from the home’s cobweb-strewn rooms – and put in a gleaming cinema.

She called her West Sussex home ‘an absolute building site’
Mum of five Katie even channelled her inner Stacey Solomon and created some of the furniture pieces herself.
She turned a room filled with festering sofas and heaps of trash into a stunning TV with a portrait of herself on the wall.
And a drafty-looking corner of the 19-room mansion has been turned into an Instagram-friendly office with a Barbie rug.
Her name and catchphrase “never underestimate the Pricey” now light up one of the walls.
The transformations were featured on her Mucky Mansion show which aired earlier this year on Channel 4.
The Sun revealed how Pricey faces losing her home as her bankruptcy woes continue.
She attended a virtual hearing last week where she was due to lay bare her financial situation.
But a bizarre moment saw the judge admit he was losing control of proceedings due to other people on the video call.
The Sun can reveal she is now due to appear in February next year.
Mum-of-five Katie has failed to keep up with her monthly repayments of £1,200 to clear the hefty sum owed to multiple creditors.
The bankrupt star paid £1.3m for the home nine years ago. It is now worth more than £2m and her creditors – including two lenders against the house – who want their cash back.
Trustees handling her bankruptcy have the power to sell Katie’s Mucky Mansion to meet her debts if they see fit.
One of the rooms viewers saw on the C4 is Katie’s cluttered master bedroom – which was long due an overhaul.
It now looks fantastic, with fairy lights handing from the ceiling and the walls painted in black and white stripes.
Downstairs, a mini lounge, which was once piled high with plastic boxes, has been transformed into a relaxing haven.
But perhaps the best transformation is in the new cinema room, where some shelving units got binned and a sofa was brought in.
A sofa with ‘Katie’ and ‘Boom’ cushions has been brought in along with a table the star made herself.
Viewers also saw her making the centrepiece furniture herself – while reminiscing about her time in the American Playboy mansion.
She stuck old DVD discs to a tabletop, telling viewers: “I’m really pleased with this creation.”
Son Harvey, who also appears in the show, appeared to give it his seal of approval, inspecting it and adding: “Oh yeah.”
The star is also shown turning a glass vase into a “yummy” piece of art by spraying it pink and sticking on pom-poms.

Katie was seen on the Channel 4 programme complaining about the state of her house – and vowing to do something about it.
Opening a door and gesturing at a messy passageway with dogs running about, she said: “That just says it all really.
“Look at the state of that. It’s an absolute building site – it’s driving me mad.
“I can’t live like this. I need an office. If I do stuff on Instagram, TikTok it’s nice to just have a room for that. It needs tender loving care – I can’t wait to get this room done.”
She also branded her former TV room “hideous” in tonight’s episode.
The property, which is surrounded by 10 acres of land, was once the home of Francis Maude, who was MP for Horsham.
The property has some major ups and downs. In 2020, the mansion fell into disrepair after intruders ransacked it and caused damage throughout the home.
