“She’s Made It to 2026”: Katie Price Leaves Fans Choked Up With Her Heartfelt Admission About Her Mum’s Failing Health: Amy Has Been Battling Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis — a terminal, incurable lung disease — for many years
Katie Price has shared a deeply emotional update on her mum Amy’s health, offering fans a rare and honest glimpse into the painful reality of watching a parent grow frailer with time.
In a recent YouTube video marking the start of 2026, Katie spoke openly about the mix of gratitude and fear she feels as her family continues to navigate Amy’s long battle with a terminal lung condition. With emotion in her voice, she said her mum had “made it to 2026”, adding that she felt incredibly thankful for another year together and hopeful they might still have more time ahead.
For many fans, the video revealed a softer, more vulnerable side of Katie, one rooted in fierce loyalty and devotion to family. She did not shy away from acknowledging how much Amy’s health has changed, admitting that her mum is “a lot more frail than she used to be”. Yet she was quick to reassure viewers that Amy’s sharp mind remains intact, saying her physical struggles do not reflect who she truly is.
Amy has spent years battling idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive and incurable lung disease that causes severe scarring and makes even basic movement exhausting. Katie has long been open about the emotional toll of the illness, sharing both moments of hope and heartbreak with her followers.
Despite the challenges, Katie said her mum now has a “new lease of life”. She revealed she had bought Amy a mobility scooter to help her regain some independence and spoke warmly about plans to take her on trips, including a long-hoped-for visit to the Isle of Wight.
Family remains at the centre of Katie’s world, and she made it clear that creating memories together is now her priority. She spoke of wanting more shared moments with Amy, her son Harvey, and the rest of her family, stressing how precious togetherness becomes when time feels uncertain.
Last year, Katie also revealed that Amy struggled to walk following a lung transplant, explaining how frustrating it has been for her mum to remain mentally alert while her body continues to fail her. In a candid podcast moment, Katie described how Amy often jokes about whether to take her walker or wheelchair on outings, highlighting the bittersweet humour they use to cope with daily reality.
Through it all, Katie’s message was clear: while Amy’s body may be weaker, her spirit remains unbroken — and every extra day together is something to treasure.
