“She has joined a choir to open up her lungs. She’s not giving in without a fight. We’ve both got tough exteriors, neither of us show anyone what’s going on inside.”
Katie also said her mum still does “her cardio class every morning” even though she “needs oxygen now”.
The star added that she misses “holding” her mum and “giving her a cuddle”.
She said: “Because we know we’re losing Mum, nothing goes unsaid. I know everything about her and she knows everything about me. I miss holding her and giving her a cuddle.”

However, Katie said there’s still a lot of “banter on our family Zooms” because if they didn’t “muck about we’d never get through it”.
Meanwhile, in February, Amy appeared on Good Morning Britain alongside Katie and gave a heartbreaking update on her condition.

“What with COVID and everything, if I catch a cold or COVID there’s just no hope, so that would be the end of it for me.”
Amy added: “I’m pushing to see if I can get on the transplant list. Because there is no cure and there’s nothing else they can do for me really.
“With the transplant my age is against me, because the results are not that good as you get older.”
She said: “If you can go through all of that you would have a better quality of life and maybe another two or three years.”
