A pregnant former The Only Way is Essex star has revealed she\u2019s been left with broken legs and feet after a horror car crash that killed her mother.<\/p>\n
Clelia Theodorou, 28, revealed last month that she\u2019d been in a serious accident with her mum, who had been unable to \u2018heal\u2019 from her injuries.<\/p>\n
The TV personality, who is currently 35 weeks pregnant with her first baby with boyfriend Tommy Cole, has now detailed her \u2018painful\u2019 injuries that came from \u2018the worst day\u2019 of her life.<\/p>\n
In an update posted on social media this week, Clelia shared a series of photos, which showed her in a wheelchair, as well as in hospital in leg braces.<\/p>\n
\u2018My reality \u2013 35 weeks pregnant, two broken legs and two broken feet,\u2019 she wrote.<\/p>\n
\u2018Broke more bones than I even knew you had in your feet and I\u2019ll forever be setting off metal detectors at airports. Three surgeries later, the healing process is going well. It\u2019s a long, slow process but I\u2019m getting there.<\/p>\n

\u2018I 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.\u2019<\/p>\n
She continued: \u2018It 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.<\/p>\n
\u2018Having never broke a bone in my body or experienced anything even close to the pain and discomfort I\u2019ve been through, I\u2019m truly proud of myself and my body for how far I\u2019ve come since that day, the worst day of my life.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She then expressed her gratitude for her partner, explaining how he had been \u2018supportive, loving and understanding\u2019 and had to \u2018turn into being my full-time carer\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018I couldn\u2019t get through a single day without him. I can\u2019t thank you enough my love for your unconditional care and love,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n
Her post was met with many supportive comments, including some from other former Towie stars.<\/p>\n

\u2018This baby will bring you so much happiness and unconditional love. You\u2019ve got this,\u2019 Chloe Lewis shared.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Ferne McCann added: \u2018Sending you love darling. Your little baby is giving you so much strength.\u2019<\/p>\n
When announcing her mother\u2019s death, Clelia shared a black and white snap kissing her mum and wrote: \u2018I am continuing to heal from my terrible injuries after weeks in hospital but it\u2019s with the biggest regret to say that my beautiful Mum couldn\u2019t heal from hers.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018The person I never, ever wanted to say goodbye too. Who loved me unconditionally, the pure definition of a mother\u2019s love.\u2019<\/p>\n
She added: \u2018My heart will never heal from this, life will never ever be the same.<\/p>\n
\u2018It just doesn\u2019t feel real and it never will, I just want my mum back.\u2019<\/p>\n
Former Miss Great Britain Clelia first appeared on Towie in 2018 as Dan Edgar\u2019s love interest, but she was given the axe three years later.<\/p>\n
