Katie Price has shared her frustrations following her two bankruptcies as she claims she is discriminated against. The former glamour model, 47, has been open about her financial woes over the years.

She has endured a tumultuous six years of money struggles, including two bankruptcies. The second of which happened following a significant tax debt of more than £750,000.

However, in March she revealed she has been discharged from this – and is now ready to enjoy successes in the future. Katie, who once had a fortune of £40million, has still been hit by the consequences of her bankruptcies despite being cleared.

The mum-of-five has revealed her financial situation is still hammering her life, having moved out of her Mucky Mansion last year. Following the move, Katie admitted she struggled to find somewhere else to live.

She has claimed estate agents held a “black mark” against her name due to her well-known finances. Katie said she would receive calls from agents explaining properties had been rented to someone else after she expressed interest, yet claims they were still up for rent.

It has left Katie believing she is being discriminated against as she tries to move forward. Speaking on the Katie Price Show podcast, Katie said: “I love it how I have gone through all what I have because I will get there again.

“I just have a problem with when you have been in a bankruptcy, you just can’t get anything. It is so annoying because I earn such good money. I earn, like I did back in the day, really good money but it makes no difference if you earn the money.”

She explained: “Once you get that black mark against your name, there’s nothing you can do. Even when I go to rent a house, as soon as they know its my name, it is discrimination.

“They are like ‘Oh no, no’ and I am like ‘Oh is it because of what you’ve read?’. Does it really matter, I have got the money and I can pay upfront. It’s the name that puts people off and it’s such discrimination.”

Katie was first declared bankrupt for a year in December 2019, despite her worth being estimated at £40million at the time.

She agreed to pay an eyewatering £12,000 a month to creditors in a bid to dig herself out of debt. Unfortunately, this plan proved unsuccessful, and in July 2020, Katie was back in court at a bankruptcy hearing, where she revealed she was living in rented accommodation which was costing her £4,200 a month.

In March 2024, Katie was declared bankrupt a second time during a short hearing at London’s Rolls Building, Insolvency and Companies Court.

At the hearing, it was heard that Katie owed £761,994.05 to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), and that she had not responded in regards to the debt.

Earlier this year, Katie revealed she has been discharged from her bankruptcies as she celebrated: “I’m so happy. I can finally move on and leave these bankruptcies behind me, focusing only on the positive. Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this process.”
