I’m trolled for ruining my period mansion with ‘princess reno’ but I’ve trebled the value, says X Factor’s Chloe Khan
RAISED by a single mum in a council house with no hot water or carpets, Chloe Khan always dreamed of owning a mansion that could be a sanctuary for her family.
Now aged 34-years-old, she’s making that dream a reality by renovating a period property in Harrogate, North Yorks and sharing the process with her 242,100 TikTok followers.
She has described the project as a “boujie princess style” renovation, even having an £8,000 custom front door fit last month.
But as is typical with social media, trolls have weighed in – and some claim that Chloe has “ruined” the period home and its vintage features.
The mum-of-one’s vision for the pad is “white marble vibes with spa zen energy and chandeliers big enough to rival Buckingham Palace”, she shared on her personal blog.
She has showcased this concept coming to life in a series of TikTok videos displaying the property’s shiny new floors, internal glass doors and modern furnishings.
Among the insults hurled by trolls are that the content creator has “missed an opportunity” to restore the original features, and that she has “dreadful taste” and has made the home look “cold and bare”.
Another critic claimed that the pad now looks like an “asylum”.
Never one to let trolls get her down, Chloe has responded to a number of the negative comments.
She penned: “I wouldn’t call it a miss.
“I have likely x3.5 the value of the property, extended it to 5.5 square feet, opened it into a bright, innovative space, yet restored and celebrated original features and detailing.
“My vision was to make it look like a Knightsbridge hotel and it’s starting to give that now.
“I don’t like darkness.”
Chloe is now worth an estimated £12 million thanks to her OnlyFans career.
Growing up, her mum had a law degree but family problems meant they struggled with money.
Aged 19, Chloe decided to audition for singing contest X Factor in hope of turning her life around.
She then went on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016 and modelled for Playboy.
She previously told The Daily Record: “I just had to make a life for myself because I knew the life I had in Wakefield was not a life at all.
“I didn’t want my family to live like that anymore – I didn’t know how to get out but I just knew that I wanted to.
“My lifestyle is pretty incredible now – it’s mansions and private jets and everything else that I could only imagine when I was younger.”
She has built an impressive social media platform on the back of her telly gigs and branched out into the X-rated world of adult content creation to diversify her income streams.
Alongside the Harrogate mansion that she’s currently renovating, she has an impressive property portfolio of smaller houses.
