Reality star Katie Price has been told by doctors that it will take two years for her to be able to walk again.
The 42-year-old former glamour model underwent a six-hour operation on Friday after breaking both her feet in a freak accident at a theme park in Turkey.
In the latest video uploaded to her YouTube channel, Katie explained that she will be in “pain for the rest of my life” and has been told she will suffer from arthritis.
Filming ahead of her surgery, the mother of five said: “So the update on my feet, they are saying it will take two years for me to be back on my feet after proper rehabilitation.

“I have my operation on Friday. People don’t think I’ve broken my feet or my ankles.”
“But why do I have to justify? If I say I’ve broken my feet, I’ve broken them. Why would I lie about it or get sympathy for that?”
“I mean that’s wrong. They think I’ve had surgery for bunions. I have the most perfect feet normally.”
Former I’m A Celebrity star Katie later said in the video that she refuses to let the injury get her down and vowed to lead an independent life as much as she can.
