Clelia, who welcomed daughter Cielo with fiancé Tommy Cole just seven months after the accident, told followers: ‘Longest day ever, can’t wait to go home to my babies’.

She later reᴀssured fans saying: ‘I had another surgery today guys. Not an emergency or anything. Thank you for checking in’.

Clelia then returned home and shared a snap of her bandaged foot following surgery which she pixilated, writing: ‘Thank you for your well wishes,’

Before adding: ‘You guys are so lovely. At home and dosed up on painkillers’.

Last year Clelia admitted that she may never have the strength to share exactly what happened in the horror crash.

In an Instagram Q&A she shared harrowing pictures of her in hospital in recovery and told how it is still too ‘raw’ to discuss details of the accident.

One fan asked her: ‘Will you ever talk about your accident and what happened?’, to which she replied: ‘I’m not sure. I find it very hard to talk about. 

‘Maybe in the future I will but it’s still really raw. Family and friends that know everything I can talk to, but talking about it to someone new and reliving it is so difficult.’

She also told how she will probably never drive again due to her PTSD, after one fan asked if she would ever get behind the wheel in the future.

Clelia said: ‘No, I haven’t been driving and don’t see myself driving for a very long time, if ever. It was really difficult getting into a car again after it happened just as a pᴀssenger. 

‘I hope one day I will but for now absolutely not. Mostly due to PTSD but also my injuries, I would need to be fully confident with my feet etc.

‘The first time I was in a vehicle after was horrific. Luckily I was taken home from my time in hospital in an ambulance because I still had to be on a stretcher and had to lay down.

Clelia, who welcomed daughter Cielo with fiancé Tommy Cole just seven months after the accident, told followers: ‘Longest day ever, can’t wait to go home to my babies’ 

‘So that made it easier as there was only one small window to see out of but I couldn’t look. After that I was taken to and from appointments in ambulance transport, I couldn’t physically get into a car either.’

‘I’m still in a lot of pain and discomfort, and I can’t walk for long periods but I have to push myself through this for my recovery.’

Reflecting on her challenging journey, she went on proudly: ‘The first few months of Cici’s life I couldn’t even hold her standing up because I wasn’t able to, so for me being able to do this, it’s just such a relief and such a blessing.

‘It’s little things like taking your baby for a walk in the pram that got me down so so much on top of everything else because it’s such a simple everyday thing for a mum to do but when you physically can’t, it’s heartbreaking. For the first time I’m proud of myself.’
