Katie Price has revealed both her mum and step-dad have been hospitalised as she gave a health update on her parents on Wednesday.
The former glamour model, 46, said her mum, who was diagnosed with the terminal lung disease Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2017, was admitted earlier this month.
In the candid chat during a TikTok live, Katie also told of how her step-dad, Paul – who she calls dad – has just undergone a major operation.
‘My mum’s doing well – she was in hospital for 21 days,’ she explained.
‘My dad’s just had a major heart operation… you’ve got to look after them when they get old. So there’s a lot going on behind the scenes.’

Recently, Katie told fans she is giving up a ‘disrespectful’ habit due to her mum’s ongoing health problems.
Posting on Instagram the mother-of-five announced she is quitting vaping after a year of the habit.
She cited her mum Amy’s battle with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a terminal lung disease, as the reason behind her decision.
‘I have a big confession to make, and if there’s anyone out there who wants to join me, do it.
‘I’ve been vaping for a year, and it’s no good for you – especially when my mum has had a lung transplant. It’s disrespectful doing this in front of my mum,’ she told the camera.
‘I’ve decided that today is the day I am throwing this battery, chemical, addictive, horrible thing away. I am now doing vapes no more from today.’
‘I’ve got the strength to get rid of them. Join me. It’s going in the bin, that’s it. I’ve cleared all of my vapes out of the car and everything.’
Last year, Amy underwent a lung transplant. When Amy was diagnosed, medics told her she had a life expectancy of up to five years.

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.’
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.
