Sophie agreed saying at one point, 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.” In 2023, Amy underwent a major lifesaving lung transplant after being in critical condition in a coma. Despite the transplant, Amy’s health has remained touch-and-go with Katie noting her struggles with mobility and breathlessness. 5 comments5
