Her mum has been told she may only have three to five years to live

Katie Price is considering donating one of her lungs to her terminally ill mum Amy.

Amy, 64, has been diagnosed with an incurable lung condition, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), and may only have three to five years to live.

Pricey, 39, is now prepared to do whatever it takes to help save her beloved mum.

According to The Sun Katie said during her Stevenage show over the weekend: “We’re talking about me giving her one of my lungs.”

But the mum-of-five said it may not help her. She added: “But I’m not sure it will save her.”

The Loose Women star announced the news earlier this month about her mum’s condition.

Katie opened up to her Twitter followers in a heartfelt message about Amy.

She wrote: “Just to clarify for all of you reading. My mum has been diagnosed with lung disease called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). There is unfortunately no known cure for this.

“As a shock to us all, me and my family are proud to be supporting the British Lung Foundation to help support awareness and raise funds for research of IPF.

“With this we can help in other diagnoses and create awareness for people with IPF.

“The condition has an average life expectancy of 3 – 5 years. There are two known pills which, if they work, can slow things down.

“My mum is a fighter, she is working out every day, going to work and living life to the full.

“Please help us in supporting the British Lung Foundation.”

Amy is also mum to Katie’s sister Sophie, 27, as well as a grandmother to Katie’s five children – Harvey, 15, Junior, 12, Princess, 10, Jett, four, and Bunny, three.

And this is not the only devastating news Katie has been faced with over the last couple of months.

Last month the former glamour model discovered her husband Kieran Hayler, 30, had been cheating once again – this time with their children’s nanny Nikki Brown.

In an interview with the Sun On Sunday, Katie said: “I was gutted.

“For a year I was basically paying her to [BLEEP] my husband. 

“They had sex everywhere except in our bedroom, they even did it in the kids’ bathroom.”

She added: “When I confronted him he denied it at first, even when I said she’d admitted it.

“I was crying, asking, ‘How could you do this to me again?'”

Despite Kieran denying the accusations at first he finally admitted to doing the dirty in an interview with The Sun.

“This wasn’t a big love affair, I didn’t fancy Nikki,” he told The Sun.

The former stripper went on to admit he’s a sex addict and claims he would have tried to bed Nikki even if she’d been 80.

He continued: “Sadly Katie is telling the truth – I cheated on her with our nanny.

“I’ve hurt her, betrayed her and now need to stand up for her. However bad I feel, I know I have made Katie feel worse.”

Katie, who has been married twice before, forgave Kieran back in 2014 after catching him sleeping with her then best friend Jane Pountney.

This time Katie has said enough is enough and revealed she’s filing for a divorce.
