KATIE Price is moving back into her £2million Mucky Mansion despite claiming it's haunted by three ghosts and cursed.
The ex glamour model surprised many today when she shared a photo of the West Sussex property's front door and branded it "home" on her Instagram Story.
Last month, Katie launched an Instagram account dedicated to the 'Plucky Mansion's' renovation and vowed to keep fans up-to-date with its restoration.
And now sources have told The Sun that the former Loose Women panellist is moving back into the property "permanently" with her fiancé Carl Woods, who believes they can get the house back to it's "former glory".
A source said: "She's moving back in permanently as soon as it's in a liveable condition.
"Carl has agreed and thinks they can restore it to it's former glory."
A rep for Katie confirmed that Katie has a "new found fondness" for the abode, which was left completely uninhabitable when it was ransacked by intruders last year.
"The term 'home' certainly confirms Katie's new found fondness for her property," her rep said.
"Carl and Katie are looking forward to starting the integral works on the house – their greatest adventure together".
Yesterday, we exclusively revealed that Katie is hoping to marry Carl at her mucky mansion after cleansing it of bad energy.
The 42-year-old got engaged for the eighth time last month and has revealed she hopes to walk down the aisle this year so her terminally ill mum Amy can be there.
An insider revealed that her infamous £2million Sussex home could be the venue as the couple are in the middle of renovating and making the space their own after a series of unfortunate events took place there.
A source told us: "She's considering holding the ceremony at her mucky mansion – or as she now calls it, her plucky mansion.
"She's calling in an exorcist to cleanse it of all the bad energy and sees it as a fresh start. in the past, she hated the house and never wanted to return to it, but with Carl she thinks anything is possible – he's given her the strength to put the past behind her and move forward.
"She's got a chance to make a whole new set of memories with him."
A rep for Katie said: "Katie and Carl are in the process of doing up the plucky mansion and yes Katie has discussed the possibility of hosting weddings there."
Speaking about the upcoming bash, Katie told Good Morning Britain this week: "We’ve discussed (the wedding) with his parents yesterday and my mum.
"They came up at the weekend and met all the parents. And obviously, my mum’s terminally ill and she said she wants us to get married so she sees it."
Carl, 32, continued: "We’ll get married this year and it will be very different to everything Kate’s done before."
We previously revealed that the mum-of-five was looking to turn the house into a wedding venue to make more money as she continues to move on from being made bankrupt.
Sources said at the time that the star – who has been married three times before – knows exactly what it takes to create a perfect venue.
However, she has believed for some time that the house is haunted and full of bad energy so is keen to get it exorcised before moving on with wedding plans.
The now-infamous 'mucky mansion' has fallen into disrepair over the years and recently suffered a collapsed ceiling and flooded kitchen.
Despite all the bad memories, Katie and Carl have made the decision to do the house up and move back in to start their lives together.
