Katie Price has revealed the unusual way she has found to get around the house after breaking both of her feet while on holiday.
The former glamour model, 42, revealed she straps on a pair of knee-pads to make her way around the house as she can’t put weight on her feet.
Showing off her new safety gear, Katie told her followers: ‘So guys, this is my new form of walking around the house because obviously my ankles are completely broken.
‘Carl actually found these kneepads for me so I can still get about and up the stairs,’ she said before showing off how she uses them to move about. ‘I just walk like that.’
Living up to her catchphrase – ‘Never underestimate the Pricey’ – Katie revealed that she wasn’t letting the ‘life-changing’ injury slow her down.
She wrote on the clip: ‘Thanks to @carljwoods he got me some knee pads to help me get about the house as is a struggle and hurts my knees without them.
‘Despite life changing news I still have a smile and determination is key to keep focused on the change of my future life.’
Katie is facing a long recovery from her injuries, and it could take months before she is able to walk again as before.
She injured herself while on holiday in Turkey with her boyfriend Carl Woods, her son Junior, daughter Princess and one of Princess’s friends.
Having been advised she would need surgery to fix her feet, Katie decided to wait until the end of the holiday to see a surgeon in the UK, but revealed it was not good news.
She told her followers: ‘Just finished my appointment with my consultant and surgeon about my feet.
‘After further scans, the news is absolutely devastating… I’m gutted!’
She revealed how she sustained the injuries in a YouTube video, explaining: ‘Silly me, at my age, should calm things down.
‘Basically, silly little accident. I was running and jumped over a wall, as it was a little shortcut, and didn’t really judge the height.
‘I just sort of fell funny on my ankles and I fractured the hairline on my heels and stuff. The hospital here wanted to operate and wanted to put pins in and stuff.’
