The singer, who previously revealed she owns over 10,000 pairs of shoes, said she makes her feet fit into any type of shoe no matter how big or small the shoe size is
She said: ‘When a girl loves her shoes, she will always make them fit. I have worn shoes my friend, my toes were like this [claws her fingers] because they didn’t have my size.
‘Every time I went to a store and I loved those shoes they said “What size are you, ma’am”. “I said no you don’t understand. What size do you have”. I’ll make them work, I’ll make them fit. I will walk the shoe.
‘I walk the shoe, the shoe don’t walk me. I’ve worked with my shoes like this and sometimes like this to hold onto them. From six to ten, give it to me. I love them.’
Elsewhere in her documentary, Celine endures an agonising ten-minute seizure and is seen gasping for breath as medical professionals desperately attempt to alleviate her painful muscle spasms while a camera crew quietly films the ordeal.
In clear distress, a frantic Celine is given a medicinal nasal spray, commonly used to treat the effects of cluster seizures in sufferers of SPS.
Celine was diagnosed with the condition, a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and uncontrollable spasms, in 2022.
And a new clip captures Celine as her stricken body goes into ‘crisis’ during a filmed consultation with medical professionals.
The singer looks on helplessly as doctors gently lay her in a comfortable position and check her vitals.

All the while, her bare-feet remain rigid as she battles the debilitating effects of the rare condition.
After receiving assistance the singer is finally able to sit upright and covers herself in a blanket before admitting her embarrassment at losing control of her body in front of the cameras.
She tells the camera: ‘Everytime something like this happens it makes you feel so embarrassed and so, like, I don’t how to express it, it’s just… you know, like to not have control of yourself..’
An emotional Celine breaks down while admitting she hasn’t given up on resuming her stage career at some point in the future.
She said: ‘I still see myself dance and sing. I always find plan b and plan c, you know. That’s me. If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl. But I won’t stop. I won’t stop.’
Director Irene Taylor told the PA news agency she was thinking “should I film it” when Celine went “very quickly” into the attack, but decided to continue as the singer, known for her powerful voice, had told her not “to ask permission to film something”.
She added: ‘So in that first 30 seconds, I was not focused on filming, I was the sound person and my cinematographer was there.
‘But there were several people in the room and everyone was doing what they were trained to do to help her, they’d all been given medical training on what to do if this happens.
‘So she was in the best hands she could be in. If they needed an extra pair of hands, I would have dropped my microphone and gotten in (to) help them without a doubt. But I did decide to keep filming, knowing that we didn’t have to use it.’
