Katie Prices Mum Cries Over Whirlwind Marriage Drama

returned to the podcast that she hosts with her sister Sophie on Thursday and revealed her mother broke down in tears while in hospital over her whirlwind marriage to .

The mother-of-five, 47, famously got engaged to the entrepeneur, 41, after just 10 days in January informing her children about it via a family WhatsApp group message. 

Sophie told Katie her decision had 'traumatised us all' and admitted that the last time they had tried to record the podcast, they had fallen out over it and Katie had hung up on her sister.

Katie revealed her engagement to the world via social media but as yet, her husband has been unable to leave , where he lives and her family are yet to meet him. 

And despite her family sharing their concerns, several of his ex-partners making bombshell accusations and a slew of his claims about his finances, business acumen and celebrity-links being revealed as false - Katie is certain that Lee is the real deal. 

Katie and Sophie's mother Amy had a lung transplant for terminal idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2022. Since the operation, her mobility has decreased and she has 'up and down days' and she was recently hospitalised.

Katie said: 'I went and saw her in the hospital.'

Sophie then replied: 'Aww I know, Mum’s back in the hospital – she’s not good,' revealing Amy was being treated for an infection. 

'Yeah.' Katie said. 'And I gave her a big hug and she cried like that…' Katie showed her how their mother cried.

Sophie added: 'You've traumatised us all. Again.'

But Katie simply replied: 'Oh I traumatise f**king everyone but listen...'

Chiding her, Sophie told her: 'Well it's not good.'

Katie said of the hospital visit: 'I gave her a big cuddle, I'm like, "Come here Mum, you need a daughter hug. I love you', and she was crying...'

Sophie asked her mother afterwards if she gave her daughter a b****king and she said she had.

But Katie said: 'You know what she actually didn't give me a b*****king because I spoke to her and then Harv was there as well.

Katie has said she and Lee connected after he came up as a suggested follow on Instagram and she took the opportunity to slide into his DMs.

Newly-single after breakng up with her ex JJ Slater, the pair went on to message back and forth up to five hours a day, before finally meeting in person in Dubai.   

Yet her loved ones were said to have been blindsided by the whirlwind nuptials, and are reported to have expressed their concerns about the marriage and are 'anxious this is a potential scam'.

However, Katie dismissed her family's worries, insisting that she was not a kid and that 'my life isn't normal', so they had to 'let me be me'. 

She acknowledged their feelings in an interview last week, saying: 'Of course my family are going to worry, I wouldn't expect anything different. They love me and they've seen me go through so much heartache, and the most horrific times. 

'So I don't blame them for being p***ed off and angry. They love me and I love them too. But I'm not a kid any more, I am 47, I can make my own choices, and I will. They have to give me that chance to go and find out for myself.'

Katie's sister Sophie previously hinted at her disapproval of her new marriage and said their podcast would be '' for the foreseeable future.

In January, she shared a video of rolling British fields with the caption: 'This and never stepping foot in Dubai,' after telling her followers she'd had 'one hell of a week' following news of the wedding.

While last month, she tellingly reposted a clip of physician Dr Gabor Maté discussing the various approaches that families can make in difficult times. 

The video ends with the words: 'I'm not going to try and change you. I just hope you come to your senses at some point. But I'll be with you and I'll be supporting you.' 

While her five children are still yet to meet the businessman, eldest children Princess, 18, and Junior, 20, said on This Morning last month that the family are 'happy as long as she's happy'.
