Katie Price has told Steph McGovern how she was left with blisters on her knees after her horror fall last summer.
The glamour model turned businesswoman explained that she found it hard to have her independence taken away from her after shattering both her feet.
While she is now walking – all be it unevenly – Katie says she is still in pain around the clock.
Chatting to Steph on Wednesday’s edition of Steph’s Packed Lunch, Katie said: “I am fortunate enough that I can walk again but I felt like my confidence went and my independence.
“I would get blusters on my knees as I would push myself to crawl around the floor.”

She added that her boyfriend Carl Woods has definitely earned his stripes by having to carry her around the house just weeks into their relationship.
Determined to keep upbeat, she continued: “Mentally, when you are told you can’t do things, you want to.
“The fact they [doctors] said I can’t run I will do everything I can to do it I want to do the marathon next year… I will have to fast walk it.”

Giving a rallying cry to the nation, the mum-of-five added: “You have just got to try and get up and make the effort.
“I know I look fine but I find that being busy helps to take my mind off the pain.
“I get restless legs at night when I am watching TV.
“My life is different now for different reasons but I always try to see the positives.”
During a pre-recorded segment, Katie visited a specialist to try and see if she could do anything to counteract the pain.
It turned out that while it’s not advised to push yourself to the extreme, pain thresholds can be increased after exercise.
Katie said: “I have pain killers but I don’t take them as it’s another thing for my body to need and I am not going to be in pain for ever.
“I walk with a limp still but it is what it is.”
In February, Daily Star revealed how Katie was being lined up by Channel 4 bosses as a regular roving reporter on the show.

A source at the time spilled: “Katie went down a storm with bosses during her appearance on the show last month and producers are looking to make her a regular on the show.
“Meetings are ongoing but after the success of her BBC documentary Harvey and Me, she’s keen to show there’s more to her than her glamour model past.
“She will be covering a string of serious issues that are close to her heart – almost in a roving reporter style position.”
Katie is set to return to Steph’s Packed Lunch next week for another segment.
