Katie Price’s half-sister Sophie has revealed a heartwarming photo of their terminally ill mum Amy meeting her newborn grandson for the first time.
This comes after new mum Sophie, 30, welcomed her baby boy Albert at the end of May with her long-term partner Harry Brooks.
In the sweet family moment caught on camera, Amy can be seen cradling the baby boy whilst gazing down at him lovingly with a huge smile across her face.
Taking to Instagram Stories during a Q&A, Sophie posted the moment for her social media followers to see after one follower had asked: “Has your mum got to meet Albert yet?”

Katie’s mum Amy has been shielding at her home during the lockdown as she suffers from terminal idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable lung condition.
Back in April, Katie sadly announced how her suffering mum “hasn’t got long to live” following her long battle with the severe illness which causes a build-up of scar tissue in the lungs.
The I’m A Celebrity star and former glamour model admitted she was “heartbroken” to see her mum’s condition plummet after she was seen needing oxygen to help her breathe during a FaceTime call.

However, despite her declining health Amy has vowed she “hasn’t given up yet”.
Sophie announced the arrival of her first child with a photo of her baby son’s hand.
The PR professional, who shares Albert with her long-term partner Harry, wrote in the caption: “We’re finally home… Harry, me and our little Albert.”
Katie’s younger sister bagged herself a history degree in 2016 and has gone on to work in PR for Children In Need.

She tends to stay out of the limelight compared to her reality star sister Katie, but she still has more than 57,000 Instagram followers.
Sophie was born when her mum Amy – who she shares with Katie – married builder Paul Price and the two welcomed her into the family after Katie’s dad Ray Infield left when Katie was four years old.
Amy could soon become a grandmother to seven children after Katie revealed she’s got her sights set on IVF treatment with her new fiancé Carl Woods, 32.
Katie is already a mum to son Harvey, 18, with former footballer Dwight Yorke, Junior, 15, and Princess, 13, with her ex-husband Peter Andre and Jett, seven, and six-year-old Bunny with her third husband Kieran Hayler.

Katie is set to undergo the procedure after gaining two stone in the last year and suffering pain due to the weight gain, and is having the treatment filmed for her reality show called Katie Price: My Crazy Life.
Katie, who jetted off to Turkey with her fiancé Carl on Monday (14 June), has defended her trip during the pandemic by stating that it qualified as an ‘extreme circumstance’ with it being a work trip.
Turkey is on the red list of countries to fly to, which includes the countries that are prohibited to enter except in the most ‘extreme circumstances’ as these places are at highest risk from Covid.
