Katie Price did not share details of the news, but did say it was not about her mum. Days earlier she said her mum Amy, 74, was in hospital and was “very poorly”
Katie Price has shared that she received ‘devastating news’ and told followers to ‘cherish every moment’ in a post to her Instagram. The former glamour model did not share specific details of the news, but she did confirm it was not about her mum.
Earlier this month Katie spoke about her mum’s Amy’s failing health, claiming she has just “days” but she could not visit as she had a cold. On her podcast with sister Sophie they shared that their mum Amy, 74, is in hospital and “very poorly”. She has the lung condition Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Katie said of her mum earlier this month: “My mum’s dying at the moment and I haven’t been able to see her [because] I’ve got a cold… She’s got days. I did promise my mum I’d see her tomorrow.”
IFP is rare and causes one’s lungs to become scarred. This makes it more difficult to breathe. According to the NHS, there is currently no cure, but treatments are available to help manage the symptoms. Amy was diagnosed with IPF in 2017 and at the time, doctors warned that she had less than five years left to live.
In a post to her Instagram story late on Wednesday, October 28, Katie wrote: “Had devastating news tonight… love health and family is so important cherish every moment with loved ones and build memories.” She ended with: “And no it’s not my mum“.
Speaking to sister Sophie on their podcast, Katie said the family was taking it “day by day” as they didn’t know what would happen with their mum’s health.
She said: “At the moment, we’re playing it day by day with Mum,” she said. “We’re all juggling, depends how my mum is each day to what we do. Obviously if Mum takes a turn, Mum’s more important than anything.”
The siblings confirmed they had been spending a lot of time with their mum in hospital of late. Katie said the whole family had been “trying hard” to take care of their mum but that Sophie got extra “brownie points” as she had been going to the hospital more.”
