Pregnant Towie star Clelia Theodorou reveals full extent of her injuries as she uses a wheelchair after tragic crash
TOWIE star Clelia Theodorou has revealed the horrific injuries she suffered after the tragic crash that killed her mum.
The brave mum-to-be shared photos of her using a wheelchair after breaking both feet and legs.
Earlier this month Clelia, 28, revealed her agony after her mum died in a horror smash.
Pregnant Clelia was also left with “terrible injuries” in the accident at the end of May.
The TV star – who is currently 35 weeks pregnant – said she had never known pain like it after undergoing three surgeries, with a fourth one planned.
Clelia posted pictures from her hospital bed with her legs wrapped in bandages and wearing post-operative knee braces.
Updating her fans on the horrifying ordeal, she said: “My reality – 35 weeks pregnant, two broken legs and two broken feet.
“Broke more bones than I even knew you had in your feet and I’ll forever be setting off metal detectors at airports.
“Three surgeries later, the healing process is going well.
“It’s a long, slow process but I’m getting there.
“I still have another surgery to get through and there have been hard some pushbacks, unforeseen delays and a lot of pain along the way but the main thing is our little baby is battling through it with me, keeping me going each day, making me more determined and giving me so much strength, more than I ever I thought I would have in a situation as difficult as this.”
The Essex star said she is proud of how far she has come since that devastating day and paid tribute to her partner Tommy Cole for his support.
“It would be a dream to be standing, up on my feet before our bundle of joy arrives but I just have to take each day as it comes,” Clelia continued.
“Having never broke a bone in my body or experienced anything even close to the pain and discomfort I’ve been through, I’m truly proud of myself and my body for how far I’ve come since that day, the worst day of my life.
“Tommy Cole has not only been the most supportive, loving and understanding partner but he’s also had to turn into being my full time carer and I couldn’t get through a single day without him.
“I can’t thank you enough my love Tommy for your unconditional care & love.”
Clelia is due to give birth around the start of October as she prepares to become a mum for the first time.
Announcing the tragic news of her mum’s death this week, the reality star said life will “never be the same” after losing her mum in what is understood to be a car crash.
She said: “At the end of May myself and my mum were unfortunately involved in an accident, we both suffered terrible injuries.
“I am continuing to heal from mine after weeks in hospital but it’s with the biggest regret to say that my beautiful Mum couldn’t heal from hers.
“The person I never, ever wanted to say goodbye too.
“Who loved me unconditionally, the pure definition of a mother’s love.”
Heartbroken Clelia described the pain as “paralysing” and said that the loss was beyond words.
“My heart will never heal from this, life will never ever be the same,” she said.
“It just doesn’t feel real and it never will, I just want my mum back.”
