Reality TV star Katie Price gave a heart-wrenching update on her mother, Amy, who is battling idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Katie shared the struggles her family has been facing as Amy’s health continues to decline. Amy, who was diagnosed with IPF in 2017, had a lung transplant in November 2022 in hopes of improving her condition.

However, last year, she spoke about how her health was fluctuating, with good days and bad days, and her condition was unpredictable. Katie spoke about her mother’s ongoing challenges on a recent episode of The Katie Price Show, which she hosts alongside her sister Sophie.

Katie said to her mum, who was also part of the podcast: “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”.

The former glamour model 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 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, vouching for herself, replied:” It’s not doing me any good because I’m meant to walk to help myself. “Katie also mentioned that Amy might attend the Isle of Wight Festival this year. Amy said:” I hopefully should be walking. “

Earlier this year, Katie revealed that while she’d never been a smoker she quickly got drawn in by vapes, and started suspecting something could be wrong with her own lungs. On Snapchat, 46-year-old Katie shared that she was heading up to London for the day, and soon revealed that she was getting her lungs scanned. The star admitted that she was” nervous “to undergo the tests, but said that it had to be done. She then posted plenty of photos and videos from the medical practice, showing herself going through various exams.

She later said:” So I thought I’d give an update about yesterday when I went and had my lungs checked. Obviously I had them checked because my mum had a lung transplant, and to see if it’s genetic and to see if vaping has affected my lungs or anything like that. But my lungs are absolutely perfect, nothing wrong with them, and he gave me advice how to get off the vapes. So I’m starting to wean myself off the vapes. But yeah it’s all good news, they’re all working well and they’re really good lungs, especially for my age. So all good! I’m all healthy! “

Just after news of her lung check, Katie was spotted at the airport with her boyfriend ahead of a getaway with a twist, joined boyfriend JJ Slater, 31. The couple held hands as she wheeled a pink suitcase around duty free, with Katie showing off her mass of tattoos in a cropped tee and comfy sweatpants. The loved-up duo is believed to be en-route to Turkey, blasting rumours that they’ve split. The tip isn’t just a holiday, however, with Katie set to have even more cosmetic surgery, just a couple of months after she underwent a dramatic £10, 000 face lift.

There was a major update into the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa.

The duo were found dead on February 26 at home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. One of their three dogs was also found deceased. Now, as experts updated the public on their findings, the canine’s cause of death is not yet known.

The cause of death for their dog Zinna is yet to be confirmed with autopsy results still pending. However, Dr Erin Phipps from New Mexico Department of Health noted that canines do not get ill from hantavirus – a rare disease that is said to have been the cause of Betsy’s death.

Hantaviruses are a group of viruses that are carried by rodents and can cause serious illness and death in humans, according to US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention.

Just two days before Betsy’s thought to have passed, she had collected Zinna from the vets after a medical procedure had been carried out. She later emailed her massage therapist before heading out to go shopping around midday. Dr Heather Jarrell, New Mexico’s chief medical examiner, went on to tell reporters that she believed Betsy had died from the rare flu-like illness on February 11.

Dr Jarrell also explained that no trace of COVID 19 or influenza was found within Betsy, saying: “Testing for carbon monoxide was negative. There were no other significant natural disease findings. Pills present on scene, or thyroid medication, which were being taken as prescribed and is not currently a concern for a contributory cause of death”.

Speaking regarding Gene’s death, she continued: “The cause of death for Mr. Gene Hackman, aged 95 years, is hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with Alzheimer’s disease as a significant contributory factor”. When she explained the timing surrounding the pair’s death, she said: “Mr. Hackman’s initial pacemaker data revealed cardiac activity on February 17, subsequent pacemaker interrogation demonstrating an abnormal rhythm of atrial fibrillation on February 18, which was the last record of heart activity.

” Based on this information, it is reasonable to conclude that Mr. Hackman probably died around February 18, based on the circumstances, it is reasonable to conclude that Ms Hackman passed away first February, 11, being the last time that she was not to be alive last week. “However, she did state:” There is no reliable scientific method to accurately determine the exact time or date of death. “
