Katie Price has shared a candid health update about her mum, Amy, who has been battling a terminal lung condition for years, in a new YouTube video, prompting an outpouring of support from fans
Katie Price has shared a deeply moving health update about her beloved mum, Amy, as she touched on her reflections on the reality of seeing a loved one grow frailer with age.
In a recent YouTube video, Katie celebrated the start of 2026 with a heartfelt message about her mum, revealing both joy and concern as she spoke about Amy’s health.
“Mum has made it 2026. So happy another year, so let’s hope we’ve got another year with my mum,” Katie said, her voice brimming with both relief and gratitude. For fans of the former glamour model, it was a rare and intimate glimpse into her family life, showing a side of Katie that is protective and deeply devoted to those closest to her.
Amy Price, who has battled idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) — a progressive and terminal lung condition — has faced significant health challenges over the years. The disease causes scarring of the lungs, making everyday tasks and even simple movements a struggle. Katie has long been vocal about her concern for her mum, often sharing the highs and lows of Amy’s health journey with her devoted fanbase.
In the video, Katie highlighted how Amy’s physical condition has changed. “As you can all see, she is a lot more frail than she used to be,” she admitted. The admission was both honest and poignant, showing the reality behind caring for a parent whose health is in decline. Yet Katie also emphasized her mum’s sharp mind and indomitable spirit: “But don’t let that fool you because her head is still screwed on,” she added, a reminder that while Amy may have lost some physical strength, her personality and determination remain as strong as ever.
Despite the challenges, Katie is determined to make the most of her time with her mum. She spoke with warmth about the plans she has for Amy in the coming year, revealing that she had bought her a scooter to give her a “new lease of life” and that she hopes to take her on trips to the Isle of Wight.
The former reality TV star has often spoken about the importance of family in her life. From her children to her mum, Katie has made it clear that relationships and shared experiences are her priority. In her latest update, she expressed a desire to create more memories with Amy, Harvey, and the rest of her family, highlighting the significance of togetherness in the face of health challenges.
Back in March last year, Katie explained that Amy had been struggling to walk after undergoing a lung transplant as she continues to fight IPF.
In a podcast update to fans at the time, the star revealed: “I do feel you for you mum, because people have to understand what my mum’s gone through, like 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.”
She continued: “Now here’s an example, because I am a patient person, but when my mother teases me and says let’s go look at the shops in the Isle of Wight, shall I take my walker or wheelchair, and I’m like ‘No, we’re taking your wheelchair because I’m not taking an hour.”
Amy then contributed to the discussion to say: “It’s not doing me any good because I’m meant to walk to help myself.” The grandmother went on to explain her hope of being able to walk again by the summer.
