Katie Price has revealed she offered her terminally ill mother Amy one of her lungs  while she battles an incurable disease. 

The former glamour model, 43, explained how her mother - who has around 34 per cent of her lung capacity left - is currently waiting to see if she can have a transplant.

Amy, 69, has been shielding at her home during the pandemic as she suffers from terminal idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis which is an incurable lung infection.

Speaking to Simon Thomas on his Life, Interrupted podcast she said: 'My mum, she's never smoked, she's always been healthy. She got told a couple years [ago], coming up to three years, that she would have three to five years left of her life. You know, it's gonna happen.

'She still does a spinning classes. She's got like 34 per cent left of her lung capacity, so she has started oxygen, which isn't nice to see because I, in my head, it's that once you start the oxygen and you need that, you know it's coming.

'So she's waiting to see if she can have a lung transplant. I even offered my lung to her.' 

However, Katie soon realised it wasn't so simple, explaining: 'But it's not that easy. You have to be ill enough to have it.

'Because if you're too well, they won't give it, but then you've still got to be well enough to be able to take it you know.

'Although my mother she could have it now, it doesn't mean to say that she'd still survive it because it can reject in three weeks and it only prolongs your life five years.' 

Katie said it was difficult to see her mum struggle when the rest of her is the same as it's always been.
