'Amanda is very close to her sister. They're only a year apart and there's something about them together which is really special. Amanda's still with her in hospital,' added the source.
Debbie, who is single without children, escaped death during a Nepal earthquake in April last year.
She has reportedly become especially close with Amanda in adulthood, after living through a strained relationship with their father Frank as children.
Amanda has previously spoken about their relationship with her estranged father, who 'was hardly ever there'.

Frank split from their mother Judith in 1976 on grounds of his alcohol fuelled behaviour.
Live on air last year Amanda was visibly moved when it was revealed Debbie had been caught up in an aftershock while stranded on Mount Everest.
She spoke to her sibling on ITV's This Morning, after the earthquake killed some 5,500 people and left 11,000 injured.

Amanda bit her lip and tried to keep her composure as Debbie told her: 'We are still on edge... we are absolutely worn out.'
Miraculously Debbie missed a 300-foot high speeding wall of snow and ice after turning back down the mountain due to altitude sickness.
The expat has been travelling around the world since the turn of the millennium, with just a '50 litre backpack and a very rough plan', as stated on her blog.
