Over the past few years, Katie Price’s rundown Sussex property has notoriously been dubbed the “mucky mansion”, but in true Katie style she’s managed to monetise the negative publicity.

Now, as she launches her new reality show, aptly titled Mucky Mansion, viewers will watch Katie, 43, overhaul her home. And a pal close to the star has revealed she’s determined to prove to her doubters she’s turning over a new leaf – and that there’s one female celebrity in particular who she wants to emulate.

“Katie would love to be the next Stacey Solomon,” a source told new. “She is trying to turn her life around by being the best version of herself that she can be. The show will be in a reality format as we see Katie getting her hands dirty and getting involved in such a huge transformation.”

In the Channel 4 show, Katie and her eldest son Harvey, 19, are filmed going to a garden centre to buy a roll of fake grass to use as wallpaper on eight-year-old Jett’s bedroom wall.
