She had a lifesaving lung transplant in 2023 after drifting into a coma and being days away from death. In July, Katie said she feared Amy might die while filming her recent autobiographical Sky documentary. “There were so many times we thought we were gonna lose mum through the filming,” admitted Katie. Sophie agreed, saying she didn’t think Amy was “going to make it.” Katie went on: “She just keeps battling through and I never thought she’d make the BAFTAs [in February], none of us did.” Comment now
