Katie Price has been warned she ‘could lose a leg’ after breaking her feet on holiday.
The 42-year-old is due to have urgent surgery this week after the ‘freak accident’ in Turkey – when she jumped over a wall at an amusement park with kids Junior and Princess, as well as boyfriend Carl Woods.
She was left in agony over the injury – and is sporing sparkly casts on both feet as she waits to go under the knife.
However, while the mum-of-five will be undergoing an operation, she is reportedly worried after being given a stark warning by healthcare professionals.
‘Katie’s doctors have warned her she must take her recovery seriously and it’s left her terrified,’ an insider claimed.
‘She’s prone to getting infections after operations, and her surgeon says she could lose a leg if her feet get infected.

‘She’ll have to be so, so careful – she’ll have medical professionals on call 24/7 – and change the dressings regularly,’ they added to the Sun. ‘She’s got a long road ahead of her.’
The I’m A Celebrity star confirmed she had broken her feet while on holiday in Turkey last month, sharing details of her injuries on her YouTube channel shortly after.
Katie’s rep confirmed that her surgery would be taking place this week, after it was alleged that the operation had been brought forward over the severity.
It has been reported that the recovery could take up to two years, with the star thought to be off her feet for months.
And Katie has heaped praise on new boyfriend Carl for sticking by her side throughout her ordeal.
‘Yes it’s true I have broken my ankles and my feet,’ she shared on Instagram at the end of July.
‘I have to have both feet operated on and pins put in been told I won’t be able to walk for 3 to 6 months.
‘@carljwoods is being amazing looking after me.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted Katie’s reps for a comment.
