THE Only Way is Essex’s Clelia Theodorou has been left in “a lot of pain” after undergoing further surgery to help her walk again.
Clelia, 29, was left wheelchair-bound from a car crash that killed her mum while she was pregnant with her first child.
The reality star previously said life will “never be the same” after suffering the devastating grief in May.
She has spent months in recovery, but told fans her “beautiful Mum couldn’t heal from hers”.
The brave mum – who gave birth weeks after the accident – told fans she was recovering from surgery at home.
“Another surgery completed,” she said.
“Hopefully fully on the way to being able to walk properly soon.
“I’m in a lot of pain, but had to be done. I had some of my metal rods removed in my foot and leg.
“Will have to have more removed as well, but for now this should get me to where I need to be for walking again.”
Clelia added: “Thank you for your kind messages.
“Suffering with the pain but on the road to recovery.”
Clelia was left devastated by her sudden loss and horror injuries.
She said at the time about losing her mum: “The person I never, ever wanted to say goodbye too.
“Who loved me unconditionally, the pure definition of a mother’s love.”
The 29-year-old 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.
“It just doesn’t feel real and it never will, I just want my mum back.”
