Bikini-clad Katie Price received get well flowers to her sun lounger in Turkey on Friday, after breaking BOTH her ankles and feet in a freak holiday accident.
The glamour model, 42, was rushed to hospital in Turkey on Wednesday, and took to Instagram Stories on Friday morning where she shared a video of herself in a wheelchair and confirmed that doctors have told her it will take “three to six months, or even longer” until she is able to walk again.
With her lower legs in casts, Katie begged her followers for help as she began the search for a mobility scooter and wheelchair ahead of her arrival back in England, before resigning herself to rest on a sun lounger and top up her tan.

New adventures: After pleading for fans’ help on Friday morning, Katie launched a couples Instagram page with new boyfriend Carl Woods, 31
After pleading for fans to help her source a mobility scooter and a wheelchair on Friday morning, Katie launched a couples Instagram page with new boyfriend Carl Woods, 31.
Posting a cosy selfie, she wrote: Head over to mine and @carljwoods new instagram page where will be documenting all our adventures and experiences @adventuresofkatieandcarl.’
Within an hour of launching, their couples page had over 18.4k followers, with only one photograph for fans to see.
Just hours before her shock accident, Katie was pictured smooching shirtless beau Carl during a pool day in Turkey, on Wednesday.
The loved-up pair jetted off to Turkey earlier this week, with two of Katie’s five children.
The glamour model’s son Junior, 15, and daughter Princess, 13, were taken on the family holiday, but she had to leave son Harvey, 18, at home following his recent hospital stint.

The mother-of-five is said to be ‘heartbroken’ that Harvey cannot come with them on holiday as planned.
The media personality has Harvey from a relationship with his estranged father Dwight Yorke, 48, Junior and Princess with singer Peter Andre, 47, and Jett and Bunny, five, with ex-stripper Kieran Hayler, 33.
Harvey was rushed to hospital leaving Katie and the family deeply concerned, but was given the all clear to return home.
A source told The Sun: ‘Doctors told Katie it would be better for Harvey’s health if he stayed at home. She’s heartbroken but of course she’ll take doctors advice.
‘Harvey will stay at home with his carer and Katie will still go – she’s taking Princess and Junior and some of their friends and she didn’t want to cancel their holiday and let them down, especially as Princess’s birthday party was disrupted by Harvey going to hospital.’
Katie recently revealed eight doctors fought to save Harvey’s life after suffering from breathing complications and his temperature rising to 42 degrees.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Katie is delighted, the call was made this afternoon shortly after lunch to discharge Harvey.
‘She has been overwhelmed already by well wishers, the staff, doctors and nurses are delighted but sad to see Harvey go – he is such an amazing spirit and character.
The businesswoman is said to believe her boyfriend Carl is ‘the one’ after he supported her while Harvey was sick in hospital.
She was by her son’s side as he fought for his life over a 10-day period in intensive care before he was discharged.
According to the publication, the blonde has told her friends that the one-time reality star is her ‘rock’.

An insider said: ‘The past week has been one of the worst Katie has ever gone through in her life. But Carl, from the very first moment, has been amazing. He’s been there for Katie to cry her heart out to and he’s always made sure she’s OK.’
Moreover, Katie recently told new! that while they haven’t said the L-word yet, things are moving very quickly.
She said: ‘He makes me feel alive, safe and happy. He’s like a dream come true and ticks every box.’
The former Loose Women panellist, who split from personal trainer and former fiancé, Kris Boyson, 31, earlier this year, has said her mother Amy finally approves of this romance following a tumultuous time.
She added: I honestly feel like I’m punching with him. My mum and close friends are really happy for me. I’m telling you, he has all the right attributes to be a keeper.’
Katie said that mutual friends set them up and that she has known Carl for two years and he has ‘admired her from afar.’
And she claims Carl does not want to be in the public eye, despite his appearances on current ITV2 reality show, Killer Camp and Love Island in 2016.
It’s been a tough time for the star who checked into the Priory in January this year for four weeks after admitting to taking cocaine to ‘numb the pain’ following a series of personal woes.
A source close to Katie said: ‘Katie is the happiest I’ve seen her in a long time. She feels really good in herself, secure and she’s smiling again.’
