Katie Price wants to reinvent herself as 'the new Stacey Solomon' with DIY show

Katie Price is said to be eyeing up Stacey Solomon's job ahead of the debut of her Mucky Mansion documentary tomorrow.

The ex-glamour model's Channel 4 offering will show fans how she plans to spruce up her West Sussex pile, which has fallen into disrepair over the years.

Apparently Katie, 43, will be getting a helping hand from her son Harvey, 19 mum Amy and sister Sophie.

But the star has some stiff competition if she wants to become the new go-to DIY star on TV.

Stacey's BBC show Sort Your Life Out is a big hit with fans, who also studiously follow her Pickle Cottage renovations on social media.

But that won't put the Pricey off.

"Katie would love to be the next Stacey Solomon," a source told new! magazine.

"She is trying to turn her life around by being the best version of herself that she can be."

Even though she's coined the name for her show's title, Katie is said to be "upset" by people associating her home with filth and mess.

The source said: "She wants to create a lovely family home for her and her family to live and for the public to see that side of her."

Katie is said to take a hands-on approach during the three-part series, which sees her knock up a mood board as well as buying fake grass for son Jett's bedroom wall.

There is also the small matter of a spiritual cleanse in which the artist formerly known as Jordan tries to rid the house of a 'curse'.

Katie's kids Junior, 16 and Princess, 14 were recently reported as saying they "hated" their mum's mansion.

"While they were filming, Katie was upset to hear that Princess and Junior hate the house," a source told The Sun.

"Although she's also said she hates it, she really wants to turn the house around - she's re-doing all of the bedrooms to make it a proper home again."

I n 2019, Katie took fans on a tour inside her home to try and prove it wasn't as mucky as everyone said.

However, the mission backfired when bags of rubbish were seen piled up on the floors.

At the time she said just thinking about sorting through all the mess gives her a "headache".

In the stables, it even seemed as though the horses had been replaced by piles of clothes.

There was also a huge pile of bird poo visible.

Lamenting her lack of organisation Katie said: "Instead of a horse there seems like there's some bird s***."

"I don't need these clothes and I'm always saying what can I wear? Where do I start?"

The Mirror has contacted Katie's representatives for comment.
