Katie Price will undergo urgent surgery on both her broken feet later this week as doctors confirm her injuries are “severe”.
The 42-year-old star was left in agony after jumping off a wall while at a theme park in Turkey with her boyfriend Carl Woods, 31, and her children Junior and Princess recently.
She has been forced to use a wheelchair and a mobility scooter to get around and wearing two special boots.
A source told The Sun Online: “Katie’s surgery has been rushed forward to this week because doctors say her injuries are really bad – as severe as they could be.

“She’s going in this week and the surgery will be a huge job. She won’t be able to walk for at least six months.
“Katie’s devastated, obviously, but also hopeful that the sooner the surgery happens, the quicker she can start on the road to recovery.”
A representative for the star told the publication: “I can confirm preparation is underway to ensure the next few weeks are cleared for Katie’s recovery post surgery.”
Last week, the reality TV star visited her surgeon at the Fortius clinic in West London to get the prognosis on her feet.

Afterwards, she posted on her Instagram that she’d just received “devastating” news but didn’t go into further details.
The former Celebrity Big Brother winner penned: “Just finished my appointment with my consultant and surgeon about my feet.
“After further scans, the news is absolutely devastating. I’m gutted.”

Katie and her children Junior, 15, and 13-year-old Princess, along with Carl had spent the past week in Turkey.
The trip had been full of highs, but ended on a low when she sustained injury at a theme park.
Page 3 icon Katie revealed in a video on her YouTube channel that she had jumped over a wall to take a shortcut, not realising how big the drop was on the other side.
She suffered hairline fractures in her heels and will need surgery this week.

Katie says she’ll need a wheelchair and a mobility scooter to help her get around as she is unable to put any weight at all on her feet.
Doctors have told the star she will not be able to walk for up to six months.
However it has now been reported that a full recovery may apparently not be likely for the mother-of-five for another two years, a source told The Sun.
A source told the publication: “The recovery could take up to two years. She won’t even be walking around until well into 2021.
“She’s really upset and can’t believe it’s this bad.”
