Katie Price has revealed her mum Amy was hospitalised after having a health scare.
Why She’s in Hospital
The former glamour model, 45, said her sister Sophie rushed her mother, 72, to Medway Hospital‘s A&E where she was told by doctors she had a burst cyst.
Katie said her mother, who was diagnosed with the terminal lung disease Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2017, spent six hours in A&E before having an ultrasound scan and was later given the OK to be discharged.
‘Mum ended up at the hospital because she had a burst cyst from an ultrasound,’ Katie said on her podcast, The Katie Price show released on Thursday.
Katie’s sister Sophie said: ‘I had to take mum to A&E. The hospital were really good actually, we went to Medway hospital.’
As it is
Sophie continued: ‘Took mum up A&E because she had a burst cyst I think it was but she is all fine.’
Katie added: ‘She had an ultra-sound the other week and they burst it basically by accident. So we spent about six hours at A&E, just having a chat’.
Last year, Amy underwent a lung transplant. When Amy was diagnosed, medics told her she had a life expectancy of up to five years.

She Suffered Health Setback Last Year
Giving an update on her health in November, she told the Daily Star: ‘It’s a slow process and it’s taken a while. I’ve had quite a few setbacks but that’s to be expected but I’m in the right direction.
‘The trouble is when you have a lung transplant it’s so easy to sit because you still get a bit breathless but if I don’t exercise, I won’t move forward.
‘I had a single lung transplant but it would cease up so I’ve got to exercise to get it working.’
Last year, Katie helped launch a hard-hitting campaign for Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month following her mum Amy’s ‘devastating’ diagnosis.
The mother and daughter gave their full support to the APF’s You Can’t See What’s Killing Me campaign.
Amy explained how the disease ‘robs people of breath and life’ as Katie stressed the importance of raising awareness as concerning data shows that it’s on the rise.
