Reality television star Katie Price has shared a profoundly emotional moment with her fans, revealing the life-changing Christmas gift she gave to her mother, Amy. The 47-year-old former model presented her 73-year-old mum with a brand new mobility scooter, bringing Amy to tears of joy and offering her a renewed sense of independence.
A Gift of Freedom and Independence
Amy Price has been battling Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a terminal and incurable lung disease, since her diagnosis in 2017. The condition causes lung tissue to thicken and scar, severely impacting her ability to breathe. Doctors initially gave her approximately five years to live at the time of diagnosis. Nearly a decade later, her mobility has significantly declined, making everyday movement a challenge.
In a heartfelt YouTube video posted after the 2025 Christmas celebrations, Katie documented the surprise. The footage shows Katie giving her mother a driving lesson, patiently demonstrating how to operate the scooter. Amy expressed initial worries about safety, asking what would happen if someone stepped in front of her. Katie reassured her that simply taking her foot off the pedal would bring the vehicle to a stop.
Emotional Scenes Capture a Daughter's Love
When asked if she liked the present, Amy beamed with happiness, replying, "Yes, I do, of course I do." She was particularly impressed by the scooter's lights. Katie also revealed she had bought her mum a pair of furry gloves to keep her hands warm during outings. Overwhelmed by the gesture's significance, Amy broke down in tears, needing comfort from her daughter.
"I'm going to have some fun on this. I think it opens up..." Amy said, struggling to finish her sentence through her emotions. Katie hugged her tightly and asked if the gift felt like a 'new lease of life' and offered 'more freedom'. Amy could only nod in agreement, overcome with gratitude.
Fan Reaction and a Mother's Ongoing Fight
Addressing her viewers directly, Katie explained her joy. "Everyone's been happy this Christmas... And the best person, who's more happy, who deserves this, is mother. She's got a new lease of life," she said. Katie highlighted the scooter's practical benefits, noting it could cover 12 and a half miles on a full charge and would allow Amy to visit the beach in the summer.
The touching video resonated deeply with Katie's audience. Fans flooded the comments section, many admitting they had also been moved to tears. One supporter wrote, "Made me [cry] when your mum cried over her newfound freedom as I know how she feels." Another commented on seeing a "kind, supportive side of Katie" often overlooked by the media.
This update follows a podcast earlier in the year where Katie discussed her mother's ongoing health struggles, including difficulties walking after a lung transplant. Amy herself has spoken about the frustration of having an active mind in a body that can't keep up, but has maintained hope of improving her mobility.
Katie Price's thoughtful Christmas gift stands as a powerful testament to their close bond, providing Amy Price with practical aid and precious emotional solace as she continues her fight against IPF.
