Katie Price became visibly emotional as she spoke about her mother Amy's terminal illness during the launch of her new Sky documentary, Katie Price: Nothing To Hide, in London on Monday. The 48-year-old former glamour model thanked her mother for attending the event despite her ongoing health struggles.
Amy, 73, has been battling idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a progressive and terminal lung condition that causes scarring of the lungs, making everyday tasks difficult. According to The Sun, Katie told the audience: 'She only got out of hospital five days ago and she's been in there for weeks. And the fact you're here looking gorgeous,' before pausing to wipe away tears.
Katie has previously spoken about her mother's declining health. In a video over the new year period, she noted that Amy is 'a lot more frail than she used to be' but emphasised that 'her head is still screwed on.' Katie also revealed she had bought her mother a scooter to give her a 'new lease of life' and hopes to take her on trips to the Isle of Wight.
In March last year, Katie shared that Amy had been struggling to walk after undergoing a lung transplant. During a podcast, she said: 'I do feel for you mum... her brain is just so active and still switched on. She can't do the things that she used to do, which is frustrating for her.'
