Katie Price has revealed her beloved pet horses became 'her safe space' when she spent time in The Priory in 2019.

Speaking during episode two of her new Channel 4 documentary Mucky Mansion, Katie, 43, also shared 'just how bad' her depression got at the time.

Katie spent time in the London-based rehab facility in 2019 after finding herself 'in a bad place' following a home break-in, a betrayal and the death of three pets.
