Katie Price fears mum Amy would die from coronavirus due to terminal lung condition

Katie Price has opened up on her coronavirus fears for her mum Amy, who is battling a terminal lung condition.

She said her mother, 64, would "literally die" if she caught the virus, which affects patient's breathing.

Amy was diagnosed with idopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2017, and has been told it is terminal, and she does not know how long she has but thinks it could be two or three years.

Her condition causes lung scarring and makes it harder to breathe, and there is no known cure.

Katie, 41, told Closer : "I saw my mum two weeks ago and we spoke on the phone while I stood outside her house.

"I've got to keep away because she would literally die if she got it [ coronavirus ]."

Meanwhile, Katie revealed she has actually been enjoying self-isolation as she is able to take a break from drama.

She called lockdown "a walk in the park" because she does not mind her own company.

"Also, it's given me a break from all the drama and the bulls**t that happens in my life!" she added.

Katie has been in self-isolation with son Harvey, 17, while her other kids are in lockdown with their respective fathers.

Katie also has Junior, 14, and Princess, 12, with her first husband, Peter Andre, as well as Jett, six, and Bunny, five, with Kieran Hayler.

Katie has taken the decision not to spend time with most of her brood to protect Harvey, who could die if he were to contract deadly COVID-19.

"Harvey is one of those who are at a high risk of dying if they get it, so I haven't been able to see my other kids," she told new! magazine.

"It's hard, but I've got FaceTime. In that respect I'm struggling - it's been a month since I've seen them. But I can't risk Harvey."

Harvey is registered blind, lives with Prader–Willi syndrome and is on the autistic spectrum.
