GMB: Amy Price provides update on her health
Katie Price’s mother Amy, who suffers from the incurable and fatal condition idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, shockingly revealed that she died briefly while undergoing lung transplant surgery.
“I went into cardiac arrest and they had to pump me to bring me back and I didn’t know that,” the 71-year-old said.
She made the revelation on her daughter’s podcast The Katie Price Show and the model confirmed that her mother had indeed been momentarily dead.
Katie explained: “How my mum knows this, everyone, when you came out of hospital, she’s gone through all her notes. How many times did you die, mum?”
“’I think it was only that once,” Amy confirmed. “Apparently I was shouting out, ‘I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe, they’re killing me’.”

She continued: “That’s because I was filling up with blood but what I can remember was dreaming, thinking, ‘I’ve got to survive till five o’clock. They’re trying to kill me.
“I’m hot, I’m sweaty, I can’t breathe. I thought, ‘Five o’clock, the nurses change so these two nurses, people that are trying to kill me, right, they go home. So I was counting strips on the wall, thinking, ‘Right as I’ll do that one, breathe slower and then you save your energy a bit more.”
Amy also admitted that she had been at peace with the idea of death saying she knew that Katie would eventually “sort herself out”.
Katie’s troubles and tempestuous relationships have been well documented.
“It’s okay to go if I’m going. That’s what I thought,” Amy continued. “And then all of a sudden, you feel peaceful.
