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 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.

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