Katie Price arrived at hospital in London on Wednesday for a coronavirus test, ahead of her essential surgery on her feet later this week.
The former glamour model, 42, appeared downcast as she heavily relied on her boyfriend Carl Woods, 31, to help her out of the car and into a wheelchair.
Katie broke both of her feet and ankles in a freak accident while on holiday in Turkey last month, and is awaiting crucial surgery which will help her on the long road of recovery.

A source told The Sun: ‘Katie’s doctors have warned her she must take her recovery seriously and it’s left her terrified.
‘She’s prone to getting infections after operations, and her surgeon says she could lose a leg if her feet get infected.
‘She’ll have to be so, so careful – she’ll have medical professionals on call 24/7 – and change the dressings regularly. She’s got a long road ahead of her.’

When contacted by MailOnline, a representative for the star said : ‘Katie I can confirm will be undergoing major surgery this week to correct her injuries sustained on her recent holiday to Turkey.’
Katie recently explained she broke her ankles and feet during a ‘silly accident’ while on holiday with her beau and her children Princess, 13, and Junior, 15.
Taking to her YouTube channel, the star explained: ‘Silly me, at my age, should calm things down. Basically, silly little accident. I was running and jumped over a wall, as it was a little shortcut, and didn’t really judge the height.

‘I just sort of fell funny on my ankles and I fractured the hairline on my heels and stuff. The hospital here wanted to operate and wanted to put pins in and stuff. Because I’m away, I’d rather wait until I get home.’
She continued: ‘It’s the most painful thing ever. Like when I was trying to put the cast on, I was screaming in pain. They said I won’t be able to walk for three to six months.’
Katie was taken to A&E for emergency surgery after doctors realised the extent of her horrific injuries.

A representative for Katie confirmed the plans, explaining: ‘As Katie is temporarily wheelchair-bound, something no one could have foreseen, she has voiced the possibility of looking for a property that would work better for her wheelchair access and mobility scooter.
‘Carl as Katie’s carer would be living with her. There is a lot to consider: Katie’s rehabilitation, the children, school, respective family, work commitments.
‘Essex would be a probable location – Katie however remains in her current rented property in Surrey.’
