Katie Price has updated fans on her mum Amy’s health amid her ongoing health battle – and the way she knows she’s doing okay.
The glamour model’s 71-year-old mum was sadly diagnosed with terminal lung condition idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2017.
The condition, which has no known cure, causes lungs to become scarred, which in turn makes breathing increasingly difficult.

“She takes every day as it comes,” Katie revealed to the paper.
Katie added that her mum “still nags” her everyday, jovially adding: “The more she nags, the more I know she’s alright.”
When her mum was diagnosed four years prior, Katie was completely devastated and even broke down in tears on national television while appearing on an episode of Loose Women.

At the time she spoke of her mum’s illness when she said: “IPA [idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis] isn’t well known and there should be more awareness because once you’re diagnosed, it’s too late.”
She went on” It’s an incurable lung disease – no one knows how you get it.”
“It might be my last Christmas with her,” Katie emotionally revealed in her chat with the panel at the time, although four years on and Amy seems to be doing okay.

On hearing the sad news Katie ran the London Marathon the following year in 2018, which was in aid of the charity.
Katie previously appeared on ITV1’s Lorraine where she spoke candidly about her mum’s illness.
She said: “It’s a horrible illness because you’re suffocating… it’s not nice to see your mum like that.
“My mum keeps saying to me, ‘Just when I’m about to rest, you do something else, you keep me on my toes’.”
