'No reasonable lines of enquiry have been identified at this stage, but anyone with information that could help is asked to contact police online or via 101, quoting serial 1053 of 26/05.'

Over the video Katie could be heard saying: 'It's nice to know someone in the night has come to throw acid all over my car, everywhere, all on my car. Thank you whoever that was.'

Katie also included text on the clip which read: 'Scumbags outside my house on my private property. I can't wait get out of this house in a few months' time.'

Katie, who was pictured moving out of the mucky mansion last week and is forking out almost £5,000 per month for her new property, despite bankruptcy woes.

The huge family home, which includes a double garage and open-plan kitchen, will be Katie and her five children's new house.

However, after checking out her new property, confused fans queried how she has been able to afford the £4,995 monthly payment amid her financial issues.

They asked: 'Double bankrupt. Where did the money come from?'; 'For someone who is bankrupt how can she afford it?'; 'How can she afford that property if she's bankrupt!'

Three large removal trucks were pictured on the driveway, while workers started loading them with furniture.

Explaining the situation, she shared on Instagram: 'Due to acid attack on my car at my house I've now been advised by authorities not to stay at Mucky Mansion anymore'.

An insider told The Sun: 'Katie has been dreading this day for so long but now it is here, she can't wait to leave.

'The house has caused her so much grief and was too much to handle on her own. With work and the kids it all became too much in recent years. And she's convinced it's haunted.'
