Katie Price jokingly accused of ending Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's career with new series

Viewers tuning into Katie Price's Mucky Mansion were quick to notice the former glamour model's arts and crafts skills on Wednesday evening.

The first episode of the Channel 4 show saw Katie begin to get her head around renovating her 19-room property in Sussex after it was left unattended for quite some time.

The mother-of-five is ready to move back into the huge house with her children, but there's plenty of work that needs to be done.

First up, Katie decided to tackle the bedroom for her youngest son Jett - who loves the outdoors.

Explaining that she wanted his room to have a jungle theme, Katie revealed that she wanted one wall covered in fake grass and was keen to have cuddly toys attached to it.

Despite handyman Steve being on site to help with the DIY, Katie was determined to do some of the work herself and was seen cutting the toys in half and then showing them onto wicker place mats so that they could be attached to the grass wall.

Another scene saw Katie and Jett, along with her daughter Bunny, gluing fluffy pom pom balls onto a mirror frame.

"Because I'm doing my house up, I've made time to do it," Katie explained.

"And it's fun to do with the kids. I've seen this on Pinterest and it looks so good!" she added.

Viewers tuning in at home were quick to spot Katie's skills and took to Twitter for a laugh.

"She must've got decorating tips from Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. #muckymansion," one person joked.

Another posted: "I reckon she’s after taking over from Kirstie on her CH4 crafting shows Grimacing face #KatiePricesMuckyMansion #MuckyMansion."

Another commented: "What would be a great finale to this series is they get some bastion of good taste to come on and review the makeover at the end. Like Kirstie Alsop or Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen #MuckyMansion."

A fourth unimpressed viewer posted: "I’ve just bought a house...note to self...don’t use any of Katie Prices ideas when doing it up as they are all tacky. It’s worse than an episode of changing rooms. She’s giving Laurence L.B. a run for his money #MuckyMansion."

And as the finished result of Jett's bedroom was finally unveiled, another viewer joked: " Katie Price ended Linda Barker and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen with Jett’s room #MuckyMansion."
