Amy Price’s lung disease battle

Amy was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, known as IPF, in 2017.

The terminal disease causes irreversible lung scarring, making breathing difficult. She has faced repeated hospital stays while living with the condition for several years.

In March, Amy was hospitalised after developing an infection, two months before Katie discussed her health on Good Morning Britain.

During that May interview, Katie said her mum was seriously unwell. The family has continued sharing selected updates as Amy’s condition has changed.

Katie Price recalls fears during filming

Amy underwent a major lung transplant in 2023 after becoming critically ill and falling into a coma.

Even after surgery, Katie said her mum continued experiencing breathlessness and difficulties with mobility.

Katie spoke more openly about the family’s fears during a July podcast episode with her sister Sophie.

She recalled several moments when they believed Amy might die while Katie’s Sky programme was being filmed.

Sophie agreed there had been a point when she feared their mum would not survive.

Katie also admitted the family had not expected Amy to reach the BAFTAs in February.

Yet Amy kept fighting and later attended the documentary launch alongside Katie. Her appearance brought a positive family moment during an unpredictable period.
