The Price may be wrong: Council investigating ‘illegal’ car dealership at luxury home of former glamour model

  • Authorities looking into claims of illegal car dealership at home of ex-glamour model Katie Price
  • Her current fiance, second-hand car dealer Carl Woods, is accused of keeping stock at star’s house
  • Local council is looking into whether rules over ‘change of use’ have been breached

Last year Car Dealer reported how the Cheeky Girls had turned their backs on the world of celebrity in favour of becoming car dealers.

The bizarre story left readers open-mouthed, and now another famous face from the Noughties may have followed them in getting involved in the industry.

However, this particular venture may not be as above board as those of the former pop duo.


A local council is currently investigating whether a used car lot is being illegally run from the home of Katie Price.

The former Page 3 Girl is currently engaged to second-hand car dealer Carl Woods, who recently changed his business address to operate from the star’s notorious £3m ‘Mucky Mansion’.

However, various media outlets have reported that 32-year-old Woods could be trading in breach of regulations due to an unauthorised ‘change of use’ of the property.


There are also concerns about how the change could affect neighbours in the sleepy West Sussex neighbourhood.

It’s the second time that the authorities have looked into Woods for a potential breach of regulations, with a similar investigation coming to a close back in March.

It comes after a string of luxury vehicles, including a Mercedes, Range Rover and Jaguar, were recently snapped outside the house.

Price herself is currently banned from getting behind the wheel and was handed a 16-week suspended jail sentence for drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance last year.

A decision on whether Woods is illegally storing cars at her home is expected by December 5.
