Katie Price ‘s mum says she’s ‘in the last couple of years now’ as she could die unless she gets a lung transplant.
Amy has a terminal lung condition called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, and has said her only option now is to get a lung transplant.
Speaking to Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid alongside her daughter Katie, Amy spoke about how she was doing.
She explained: “I’m very up and down really, to be honest with you. Obviously it’s terminal and I should imagine I’m in the last couple of years now.
“What with Covid and everything, if I catch a cold or Covid there’s just no hope, so that would be the end of it for me.”

Amy continued: “But positively, I’m hoping, I’m pushing to see if I can get on the transplant list.
“Because there is no cure there’s nothing else they can do for me really.”
Amy told Piers and Susanna that there are risks that come with getting a lung transplant.
She said: “With the transplant my age is against me, because the results are not that good as you get older.”

Amy added that “you could die in the operating theatre”, or “you could have rejection”.
She continued: “If you can go through all of that you would have a better quality of life and maybe another two or three years.”
Last month, Katie opened up about struggling without her mum amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Taking to Instagram, Katie shared a gorgeous snap of her mother and said she hated not being able to see her.

She said: “My mum looking so good today she sent me this photo and I have to say she is so beautiful inside and out and I love her so much, time is so precious I hate not being able to see her because of shielding.”
Katie added: “I love you to the moon and back mum.”
In December 2020, Katie said she was upset that she was not going to be able to spend Christmas with her mum due to coronavirus government guidelines.
She told The Sun: “I’m heartbroken. My mum has deteriorated a lot, she’s having to use oxygen and needs help breathing now, so it’s not good – but she’s still so determined.
“I thought it was going to be her last Christmas, I feared it, what I mean is it’s probably her last able Christmas where she’ll be able to be herself and have a laugh.
“We were never all going to be together as a family because of the rules, so our plan was to visit my sister Sophie on Christmas Eve and then go to my mum’s today for Christmas dinner.”
