Doctors have warned her that she had suffered life-changing injuries and may never walk normally again.

But she insisted that she would have another crack at the marathon, which she last attempted in 2018.

However, she pulled out after suffering a knee injury while attemping to complete the course dressed as a giant pair of lungs.

Speaking on Steph's Packed Lunch today Katie said: “Mentally, when you’re told you’ve got a life-changing injury, I’m told I can’t run again.

"I am going to be determined, the fact that they said that, I want to run the marathon next April.

However Katie conceded: "I’d have to do a fast walk or something. I don’t want that to be taken away and I’ll do everything I can to do it.”

Pricey completed the Marathon in 2009 alongside then-husband Peter Andre, with the pair completing the course hand in hand.

The mum-of-five broke her feet falling from a concrete wall at a theme park while on holiday in Turkey in August last year.

The damage was so severe that it took an eight-hour operation to fuse the bones in her feet back together.

Before going into surgery, Katie said: "They're smashed, broken and it's bad, really bad,"

"It's bad, life changing injuries I've done, so they're just going to do their best."

Katie today also revealed her daughter Princess, 13, had suffered her own nightmare injury, revealing the time the youngster fell off a horse.

Explaining she had "snapped her arm in half" the star said: ""I laid her down and waited for the ambulance.

"She had to have metal plates, screws. She's snapped it."

Katie has also fuelled rumours that boyfriend Carl Woods has already asked her to marry him saying he'll be her "husband soon".

She made the remark alongside a snap of her man, 32, as he waited for her to finish filming Steph’s Packed Lunch today.
