Katie Price’s terminally ill mum reveals she’s written a book to ‘set the record straight’ on famous daughter
KATIE Price’s terminally ill mum Amy has revealed that she’s written a book to “set the record straight” on her famous daughter.
Amy, who is living with terminal idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable lung condition, shared a photo of the book titled The Last Word.
The image at the front of the tell-all book shows the mother and daughter duo warmly embracing.
Amy, 71, admitted this was her chance to reveal the “real story” about her famous glamour model daughter – saying this is the “true account”.
Alongside the photo, Amy wrote: “The real story about Katie Price, told by the person who knows her best: her mother, Amy.
“Katie’s life has long been lived in the public eye. It’s a story so many of us have played a role in, but we have never really known the truth. Until now.
“Raw and unflinching, this is the true account of her daughter’s life and her turbulent rise to fame.
“Finally, her mother has the last word!
“Funds raised from the sale of this book will be donated to The Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals @rbhcharity as well as @stbarnabashouse in Worthing and @actionpulmonaryfibrosis.”
Many fans were thrilled with the news.
One wrote: “How fab looking forward to read it such a down to earth lady.”
“Can’t wait to read this,” a second posted.
A third commented: “Bet this is gonna be good,” while another added: “I’m looking forward to this.”
Back in March Katie revealed a huge new tattoo tribute to her terminally-ill mum.
It displays the word ‘family’ written in swirling, feminine text on her right knee cap.
It comes as her mum Amy continues her ongoing health battle.
She was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2017. Sadly her illness is terminal and there is no cure.
According to the NHS, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a condition in which the lungs become scarred and breathing becomes increasingly difficult.
In 2017 Amy bravely opened up about her diagnosis on Loose Women.
On hearing the sad news Katie took to Twitter to pledge her support for the British Lung foundation – and ran the London Marathon in 2018 in aid of the charity.
She said: “As a shock to us all, Me and my family are proud to be supporting the British Lung foundation to help support awareness and raising funds for research of IPF.
“With this we can help in other diagnosis and create awareness for people with IPF”
