Katie Price shares 'devastating news' in cryptic post, not about mum's health

Katie Price has revealed she received "devastating news" in a cryptic Instagram Story, though she quickly reassured followers the update did not concern her ailing mother, Amy. The Mirror reported ^[1] that the former glamour model, 48, urged her supporters to "cherish every moment" after posting late on Wednesday, October 28. She explicitly stated, "And no it's not my mum," leaving fans to speculate on the nature of the revelation.

According to the Daily Mail ^[2], Katie's post came just hours after she shared glamorous throwback snaps from London Fashion Week, creating a stark contrast in tone. The news arrives during a difficult period for the family, as her 74-year-old mother, Amy, remains hospitalised with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The condition, which causes scarring of the lungs, was diagnosed in 2017, and doctors previously warned Amy had less than five years to live. The Daily Star ^[4] noted that the family is currently "playing it day by day" regarding Amy's health, with Katie admitting she had been unable to visit recently due to catching a cold.

Katie also addressed her complicated history with husband Lee Andrews. The Daily Mail reported ^[2] that Katie had discovered Lee had only £2.22 in his bank account before deciding to split. The pair married in January, but Lee was imprisoned in Dubai's Al-Awir jail on fraud charges shortly after. Although Lee has since been released, he remains under a travel ban. Katie previously told Good Morning Britain that she felt Lee had "scammed her heart," branding their marriage "embarrassing."

Despite the split, Katie is reportedly set to appear in a new documentary about Lee's alleged con artist world. The Sun, cited by the Daily Mail ^[2], claims the Sky programme is produced by Mindhouse, co-owned by Louis Theroux, and will feature various victims of Lee's swindling. Katie's representative confirmed to the Daily Mail that the exes were not back together, despite hints that they are now on better terms. As Katie navigates her mother's critical health status and her marital fallout, the mystery of her latest "devastating news" remains unresolved.
