Katie Price was escorted off Loose Women on Tuesday after breaking down in floods of tears while discussing her mother Amy Price’s terminal lung condition, exclaiming: ‘I don’t want her to die’.
The mother-of-five, 39, has endured a tough few months following news surfacing of her beau’s affair with their children’s nanny, with her mum being diagnosed just days before with IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis) aged just 64 – a progressive lung condition with no cure.
The appearance comes shortly after the star admitted she had turned to anti-depressants after learning of her love rat husband Kieran Hayler’s cheating.

An emotional Katie had appeared on Loose Women on Tuesday, addressing Keith Chegwin’s death and her mum’s experience of the same condition he suffered from – losing his battle with IPF in just six months.
Breaking down in tears before being escorted off the set, the beauty was inconsolable as she told the panel: ‘He has the same condition as my mum. Not many people know about it… there should be more awareness.

‘It hadn’t hit me last time’: Katie admitted the news hadn’t sunk in when she appeared on the show with her mum Amy Price, 64, in September
Speaking of her mother’s diagnosis, Katie admitted the severity of the condition ‘hadn’t hit her’ at first. She added: ‘But Keith got in touch, he was trying to help my mum.
Katie also admitted the news hadn’t sunk in when she appeared on the show with her mum in September, putting on a brave display.
‘I knew about [his condition] all along. I can’t believe he’s gone in six months,’ Katie said of mum Amy, who has been forced to sell her house as she becomes less mobile.
Delving into Amy’s battle with IPF, a heartbroken Katie cried: ‘My mum is getting worse. My mum had a cough for five years and thought it was asthma. How can my mum die? It might be my last Christmas with her.’
Junior and Princess will be spending this Christmas with their father Peter Andre, surely adding to Katie’s woes with her worrying that Amy will miss her potentially last Christmas with them.
‘She’s so healthy, she’s never smoked,’ Katie insisted, before admitting: ‘I couldn’t see her for a few weeks and I had to explain to her I didn’t want to see her like that, I can’t see her growing old. She can’t see Harvey turn 18, I love her so much.’
Ruth Langsford had to escort Katie out of the studio as her emotions got the better of her.
The panel then returned with just the three presenters, with Denise Van Outen telling viewers: ‘[Katie’s] had a hard night. She hasn’t slept… she wanted to raise awareness.’
The beauty had earlier confessed that she turned to anti-depressants to help her deal with her heartache, as just days before Kieran’s infidelity surfaced, her mother Amy was diagnosed with IPF.

Katie said: ‘I’ve been on medication since my mum was diagnosed. It’s just been a lot to deal with.’
The TV personality admitted the medication has been ‘helping’ her through her family woes.
Katie first opened up about her mother’s diagnosis in October, when her mum was told she was diagnosed with IPF unexpectedly after going for a routine X-Ray.
‘Once you’re diagnosed it’s too late. It’s incurable. You don’t know how you get it,’ she explained, before trying to compose herself.
‘She’s so healthy, she’s never smoked,’ Katie insisted, before admitting: ‘I couldn’t see her for a few weeks and I had to explain to her I didn’t want to see her like that’, she stammered
The former glamour model had told The Sun at the time: ‘She’s got something wrong with her lungs and she’s been told she hasn’t got very long to live. She’s on tablets… at least I’m making her laugh. Whatever is happening, we’ve got to be upbeat about it.’
IPF is a lung condition that causes progressive scarring of the lungs, leading to breathing difficulties and those suffering from it rarely survive more than five years past their diagnosis.
Additionally Katie was left devastated in August on learning that her husband of three years Kieran had embarked on an affair with their children’s nanny. It followed his previous infidelities that saw him cheat on Katie with her former best friend of 20 years Jane Pountney and close pal Chrissy Thomas.
‘I can’t see her growing old. She can’t see Harvey turn 18, I love her so much,’ Katie said, understandably struggling to contain herself
‘My mum is getting worse. My mum had a cough for five years and thought it was asthma. How can my mum die? It might be my last Christmas with her’ she questioned

Despite vowing to leave her beau, Katie admits that she is ‘still in love’ with Kieran despite his wrongdoing and he is still currently living with the star in her family home. The couple share two children together; son Jett, four, and daughter Bunny, three.
She said: ‘I still love him. The Kieran that I know, I love. The other Kieran… is horrible. It’s just so far away from the man I married.’
Katie shared her disbelief over his cheating ways and claimed: ‘It proves he has an addiction – he has an addiction because those women are disgusting.’
