Katie Price accidentally smashes Mucky Mansion roof after dropping clay chimney piece

Katie Price hasn't had the best luck with her notorious Mucky Mansion - and it doesn't get any better as she accidentally ends up smashing in the roof.

The 43-year-old is currently in the middle of renovating her home - which she was gutted to learn had plummeted by £1million in value - as part of a new Channel 4 show.

Her Sussex property, which Katie originally purchased in 2014 for £2million, famously fell into disrepair and was hit with a number of burglaries.

In a bid to try and make some improvements, Katie joins a builder on a crane as she's handed a clay chimney piece.

"Oh my god, it' so heavy," Katie gasps as she wears a baby pink hard hat with her initials painted in silver across the front.

"Pop it there," the builder tells her. "Hold it with two hands to get it over."

But as she tries to get it over, Katie drops it and it smacks against her root, shattering a drainpipe and dislodging tiles.

Katie yells: "S***!"

It comes after reports that Katie is planning to build a special room to remember her terminally ill mum.

Katie is keen to create a special place to pay tribute to mum Amy, 63, who has idopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a life-limiting condition.

An insider told The Sun that Amy had got stuck into decorating the room with parrot print on the walls, palm trees and a lot of pink.

They said: "Everyone's calling it the 'royal room' - Amy's putting her own spin on the design and it'll be a special tribute room to Amy so Katie always has a memory of her in the house."

Last year, Katie opened up about her mum's condition on Steph's Packed Lunch, saying: "My mum's pretty strong, she's accepted it, but she's not one of these people who will dwell on it even though I know it's on your mind."

Her mum also addressed her condition, saying that she hasn't given up but added: "I've got the accept the fact that I know I'm going to deteriorate."

Katie went on to consult with a mindset coach, Will Murtha, telling him: "My mum is my absolute rock, my absolute best friend and to be told she's got an incurable breathing disease breaks my heart.

"Sadly, she hasn't got long left to live."

Amy was first diagnosed with IPF in 2017, when doctors warned her prognosis could be as little as two to five years.

The condition causes scarring inside the lungs, making it difficult to breath, and as yet there is no cure.
