Katie Price feet are still 'bent' and 'smashed up' two years after drunk horror fall

Katie Price has said she is awaiting further surgery on her feet, two years after she suffered life-changing injuries.

The former glamour model, 44, said she is in agonising pain after smashing her feet during a trip to Turkey.

Doctors want to remove metal plates as they are affecting the nerves in her feet.

In a chat ahead of her new Channel 4 documentary, Katie Price : Trauma and Me, Katie said she is waiting to see whether she will undergo the knife in October in a bid to help get her back on her toes again.

She said: "I'm back in my air boots again, my feet are killing me. I am restricted a lot.

"It drives me mad. It's been life changing injuries. People see me walking about. They probably think 'Oh, she's alright'. But I have ruined my feet. It's so annoying because I can't do what I used to do."

"I'm trying to put my feet up as much as I can at the minute. I've got to have the metal plates out at the sides. I went back to Westminster two weeks ago

"They say they've got to take them out. It's so annoying."

The mother-of-five smashed her feet during a trip to Turkey two years ago that left her confined to a wheelchair and unable to walk.

Katie had said that she'd suffered "life changing" injuries after running and jumping over a wall during a day out at a theme park, not realising how big the drop was on the other side.

The reality star previously said she had been drinking and was "mucking about" when it happened.

Katie thought she was jumping over a small wall, but there was actually a 25ft drop on the other side.

She said she landed on her feet and it was like "cement".

Katie tried to get up but couldn't and was instantly in terrible amounts of pain.

An ambulance was called to take Katie away on a stretcher and her feet looked "bent" when she saw them in the hospital.

Katie said the severity of her injuries didn't sink in at first.

She was told by doctors that she's lucky she's not dead and that she could have paralysed in the fall.

She said in a YouTube video: "The surgeon made it clear that I couldn't have done a worse job to myself.

"They're smashed, broken and it's bad, really bad. It's bad, life changing injuries what I've done, so they're just going to do their best."

Katie Price: Trauma And Me airs on Thursday 8 September at 9pm on Channel 4
