Katie Price became emotional during an appearance on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday as she shared a worrying update on her mother Amy's health. The former glamour model was due to be joined by her husband Lee Andrews for their first joint TV interview, but she appeared alone after he was reportedly unable to board their flight from Dubai.
Speaking to hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, Price turned to the subject of her mother, who has been battling idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a progressive and terminal lung condition. She looked directly into the camera and said: 'My mum is poorly, I know you're watching, I know you're unwell but I just wanna say that I love you so much and I'm coming to see you tomorrow. She's really not well and she'll be tearing up watching this.'
Over the new year period, Price had shared a video highlighting how her mother's physical condition had deteriorated. 'As you can all see, she is a lot more frail than she used to be,' she admitted, while also noting that Amy's mind remains sharp: 'But don't let that fool you because her head is still screwed on!'
Despite the challenges, Price has expressed determination to make the most of her time with her mother. She revealed she had bought Amy 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, Price explained that Amy had been struggling to walk after undergoing a lung transplant as part of her ongoing fight against IPF.
