Katie Price has moved fans to tears after surprising her mother, Amy, with a mobility scooter for Christmas, giving her a 'new lease of life'. The reality star, 47, shared a YouTube video showing the emotional moment her 73-year-old mother received the gift, which will help her get around despite her battle with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a terminal lung disease.
In the footage, Katie gave Amy a driving lesson on the scooter, showing her how to move forward and backward. Amy, who was diagnosed in 2017 and given five years to live, was initially worried about navigating traffic, but Katie reassured her that releasing the pedal would stop the machine. Amy beamed as she admired the lights on the scooter and thanked Katie for the life-changing present.
Overcome with emotion, Amy began to cry, saying, 'I'm going to have some fun on this. I think it opens up...' before breaking down again. Katie comforted her and asked if the scooter would offer 'more freedom', to which Amy nodded. Katie later told the camera that her mother 'deserves this' and now has 'more independence', noting the scooter can cover 12.5 miles on a full charge.
Fans were deeply touched by the scenes, with one writing, 'Made me cry when your mum cried over her newfound freedom as I know how she feels.' Another commented, 'There is such a kind, supportive side of Katie.' A third added, 'I cried when I saw your mother's tears of happiness.'
Amy's health has deteriorated since her diagnosis, and she underwent a lung transplant. In March, Katie revealed that Amy struggles to walk and often needs a wheelchair, though Amy hopes to walk again by summer. The gift has clearly brought joy and independence to the family during the festive season.
