Katie Price says she is 'disabled for life' and 'waddles like a duck' after horror fall

Katie Price has claimed that she will be disabled for life after breaking both of her feet.

The former glamour model, 42, injured both of her feet in a fall from a 25 foot wall while on holiday in Turkey last year.

Now speaking to The Sun, Katie has revealed that she is "crippled and scarred for life".

The mum-of-five has claimed that she will no longer be able to walk for more than 20 minutes a day and can never wear heels again.

She added: "I will never be the same, I've had to accept that, but I'm staying positive.

"The accident has changed my life and it's only just sunk in if I'm honest.

"I've been given two sets of painkillers but I can't take them because I'm scared of becoming addicted, so I'm just in constant pain."

Katie also described the consistent pain she experiences as being like "shocks of lightning" in her feet.

She described her walk as "waddling like a duck" and has left her feeling "paranoid".

The former I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! star noted: "It’s just one thing after another… I know — every day is a nightmare at the moment in the life of the Pricey."

Despite fears of death, losing her legs, or never being able to walk again, Katie received an eight-hour operation on her legs and now after eight-months of recovering she can now walk - but only for 20 minutes at a time.

Katie also revealed that she will be qualified for a blue disabled badge.

Of how she has struggled, Katie explained how she cannot carry shopping and is unable to walk up stairs.

It is also reported that she requires physiotherapy four times a week and potentially need surgery.

"It’s affected our home life dramatically because I can’t do fun things with my kids anymore, such as trampolining," she noted.

"If I want to go on a long family walk, I have to take a wheelchair.

"I'm lucky to be alive and to be able to walk a short distance, but it gets frustrating."

The Mirror has reached out to Katie Price's representative for further comment.
