Katie Price[2] has revealed she knows who killed her pet dog and set her car on fire after her mucky mansion was targeted by vandals.
The former glamour model, 45, told fans her dog, Blade, was ‘attacked on purpose’ by the same group who smeared expletive-ridden graffiti over the fences[3] of her GBP3million Sussex property in April.
Speaking to her sister on their podcast The Katie Price show on Thursday, she explained: ‘They killed my dog and dragged him to the road.’
‘Just like they set a car alight at the top of my driveway and vandalised my gates. Somebody has killed my dog on purpose as an attack against me I’m investigating it.’
In June it was reported her beloved German shepherd protection dog Blade died after being hit by a car[4], with Katie sharing the sad news to Instagram.

Following the incident leading animal charity PETA slammed Katie saying she had ‘blood on her hands’.
In April, fencing leading up to Katie’s newly refurbished home, which had been transformed on Channel 4 series Mucky Mansion, had been graffitied. [5][6]
Katie called the police to report the vandalism and was assisting their bid to find the culprit.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Katie has no idea who would go out of their way to do this, especially while she’s at home with her children.
‘It’s terrifying because as they were sleeping, someone was outside the property, and smearing the fencing with unkind and intimidating words.
‘Katie will find it difficult to rest now until the person responsible is found. She has done everything possible to turn the Mucky Mansion into a place that she and the children can feel is home and this is the last thing she wanted to happen.’
The star has faced a slew of tragedies over the past six years, including the deaths of now five dogs, a horse and even her chameleon, Marvin.
Katie announced Blade’s death on Instagram, writing: ‘Words can’t express the loss of my best friend my protector my absolutely everything who had sadly passed away today.
I have no words to say how I’m feeling but numb and shocked rip Blade.’

Blade’s death came just seven months after another of Katie’s dogs, Sharon, was killed on the same road.
Sharon was killed when she allegedly escaped and ran on to the road where she was hit by a car. She was picked up off the A24 by the driver and taken to Arun Vets in Pulborough, West Sussex, where her death was confirmed.
In 2020, Katie’s pet dog Rolo suffocated in her home, while her Alsatian Sparkle was mowed down in February of the same year, in shocking echoes of the death of her dog Queenie, who was killed in 2018.
In July 2020, Katie was criticised by animal rights activists after Rolo’s suffocation. The French bulldog died after getting stuck in an electric armchair while the reality star was packing some bags in another room, reported The Mirror.
Rolo was given to her daughter Princess as a birthday present.
Katie later revealed her shock after she was illegally advised to give her late puppy Rolo cannabis oil before he ‘suffocated to death in an armchair’.
Katie told The Mirror that she was unaware that it is illegal to give dogs the substance without a veterinary prescription, in accordance with the The Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013.
One of Katie’s horses was tragically hit by a car and killed in 2017 after escaping from a field.
And in 2018 her dog Queenie was struck and killed by a delivery driver.
At the time, she wrote: ‘I’m absolutely devastated, heartbroken, my faithful loving family dog’s life Queenie has been shortened as she was killed by a heartless delivery driver who ran into our dog seeing her struggle and drove off without telling us and left her to die very disappointed a human being can be this heartless! [sic]’

It was claimed the driver worked for Domino’s pizza, but a spokesman said at the time: ‘Our investigation revealed our driver inadvertently called Ms Price’s property via the security gate intercom, whilst trying to make a delivery to a neighbour.
‘Upon realising the error, GPS tracking reveals she went straight to the correct address.
Our driver remained on public roads and had no access to Ms Price’s land.
‘Our driver holds a clean, valid EU driving license and maintains she did not hit an animal. She has voluntarily contacted the police but has been told no criminal charges are pending. We want to understand what happened and have asked Ms Price to share the CCTV to help our investigation.’
‘Unfortunately, despite repeatedly requesting, we’re still unable to get a crime reference number or sight of the CCTV Katie mentioned, to help our investigation.’
