Reality TV star Katie Price has opened up about her ongoing frustrations with the UK rental market, revealing she was forced to pay a staggering £5,000 a month for a property after facing the threat of homelessness.
The former glamour model, 45, shared her struggles in a candid interview, explaining how the competitive rental landscape left her with limited options. "It's been a nightmare," she admitted. "I never thought I'd be in this position."
The High Cost of Stability
Price disclosed that despite her celebrity status, she faced significant challenges finding suitable accommodation. "You'd think being famous would help, but the market is brutal right now," she said. The mother-of-five eventually secured a property but at the eye-watering monthly rate of £5,000.
A Growing Problem Across the UK
Experts suggest Price's experience reflects wider issues in the UK housing market, where rising demand and limited supply have driven prices to record highs. Many renters, including middle-income earners, are finding themselves priced out of desirable areas.
The star's situation highlights how even high-profile individuals aren't immune to the housing crisis. "At one point I genuinely worried about where my family would live," Price revealed, describing the emotional toll of her housing ordeal.
