The star , who was pregnant at the time, was also left with "terrible injuries" after she broke both legs and feet in the crash.
She ultimately welcomed her daughter Cielo with Tommy Cole later that year.
Two years on, Clelia took to Instagram and shared a heartfelt post with her followers.
She captioned: "I'm really nervous to post this picture as I've been holding off posting anything showing my scars.
"I want to be completely honest, because as much as I'd love to say its fine and I'm getting on with it, it hasn't been fine and a lot I've had to work through physically and emotionally.
"My body changed overnight and with each surgery has changed further which has been hard to come to terms with.
"Its only been in the last few weeks I've actually braved having my legs out at all (that and this scorching heatwave).
"I have around 12 scars in total and I think it's time to just brave it and share them, because as much as they affect me I am walking again, able to have lovely trips to the park with Cici and start living again.
"All of which seemed impossible at one point but here we are walking around the park hand in hand, making memories.
"There's no making the scars disappear, and it's a lot of changes I'm trying to come to accept day by day.

"Some days are really hard, some days are easier.
"Trauma changes you both inside and out there's no denying that, but I want to be as transparent as possible with my on going recovery and how I feel and let you guys know its okay not to feel okay every day but good days like this are also round the corner."
One follower commented: "I honestly never noticed the scar until I read the caption. You look lovely."
Another shared: "Your scars tell a story, one where you survived and got through something terrible. Be proud you look gorgeous."
A third penned: "The most beautiful girl inside and out."
Upon announcing her mum's death, Clelia said at the time: "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."

Singer Tamar Braxton says she 'almost died' after waking up in 'pool of blood'
Soul and R&B singer Tamar Braxton has taken to social media to share an alarming health update with her fans - revealing that she 'almost died' after waking up in a 'pool of blood' Grammy-nominated soul singer Tamar Braxton has shared a shocking revelation that she "almost died" two days ago after waking up in a "pool of blood". The star, who lists Diana Ross and Mariah Carey as musical influences, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a severe accident she had over the weekend that nearly claimed her life. Although she didn't go into detail about the incident, the 48-year-old musician revealed she woke up covered in blood and found out she had fractured her nose, lost teeth, and suffered mobility loss. This comes as a number of celebrities have recently opened up about their past health struggles, including actor Chad Michael Murray who disclosed that he almost died after losing 50% of his blood. In Tamar's distressing post, she wrote: "I struggled to write this but everyone keeps calling me and honestly, I can't even really talk anymore I'm so weak." She went on to say, "I almost died Sunday. I was found in a pool of blood by my friend with a face injury. As the days go by it gets worse. I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility." Tamar continued: "The way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend my mental journey begins... pray for me for real [broken heart emojis]. I don't even know what happened to me [broken heart emojis].", reports the Mirror US. The All the Way Home singer shared a snippet from the Bible on her Instagram Story, specifically Proverbs 31. This final chapter in the Book of Proverbs describes the traits of strong and virtuous women, emphasising wisdom, hard work, and kindness. Underneath her most recent Instagram post, which reached her 6.1 million followers, fans sent well-wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery. One fan wrote, "Praying for you sis so sorry." Another supporter penned, "Praying for strength and healing speedy recovery." A third follower added, "Praying so glad you are still here." Tamar has battled numerous health issues over the years, including vitiligo, pulmonary emboli, and thoracic outlet syndrome. She's also been open about her mental health struggles, including severe depression and anxiety, as well as a suicide attempt in 2020. This health update comes as Tamar is currently touring the US, with an upcoming show on 27 September in Atlanta, Georgia and another on 19 November in Detroit, Michigan. The Grammy-nominated artist, who was previously a member of The Braxtons, has released several hits throughout her music career, including Love and War, The Boss, The One, Pieces, Let Me Know, Prettiest Girl, among others.

Fans express concern after Keith Urban skips family getaway with wife Nicole Kidman - as the real reason why they've been apart for weeks is revealed
Fans have expressed concern after Keith Urban skipped a family holiday with his wife Nicole Kidman and their children. The 57-year-old singer failed to appear in sweet holiday snaps posted by Nicole, 58, to Instagram on Wednesday. Many fans have flocked to Instagram to question Keith's whereabouts after noticing he was missing from the images. 'Where's Keith? Guess the rumors are true,' one asked while another questioned: 'Where is he?' But Keith has been unable to holiday with his family as he is currently on tour. The country singer is currently performing shows around Australia and is set to take the stage in Wollongong on Wednesday night before heading to Sydney. In the photos, Nicole gave fans a rare look at her natural locks as she posed with her daughters and sister Antonia Kidman. The actress, 58, revealed her curly auburn locks in one picture as she embraced her daughter Sunday Rose. She was all smiles as she showed off her natural beauty in a second image while posing with her sister Antonia. She also flaunted her slim figure in a patterned blue crop top and a matching coloured skirt. It was a far cry from the dramatically straightened look Nicole unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival Presidential Dinner in May. The Moulin Rouge! star wore the weave to add volume to her strawberry blonde locks and help give her a more youthful look. However, the mesh wig cap was visible as Nicole posed for photos on the red carpet despite her real hair being weaved into it. She also unveiled another radical makeover at the Met Gala as she stepped out with a cropped, slicked-back cut and wavy fringe. Nicole's habit of wearing wigs in Hollywood movies and on the red carpet has earned her a cult following over the years. The Hollywood star has rarely showcased her natural hair in films and on the red carpet since the early days of her career, and almost always wears wigs for her roles. Over the past few months, Nicole has stepped out in a series of dramatic wigged looks – ranging from sleek, straight styles to blunt cuts, and one that became a viral misfire. Appearing on Sunrise in May, Nicole admitted that she 'loves changing her hair' and uses hairpieces to achieve new looks.

Married at First Sight star Marilyse Corrigan left reeling as she is 'dumped by text'
Marilyse Corriganan, who found fame on E4's reality show Married At First Sight is said to have been left 'heartbroken' after her partner of one year split up with her via text message Married at First Sight star Marilyse Corrigan has been left single again after her partner of one year 'dumped her over text'. The personal trainer, who found fame when she met and married Franky Spencer, 50, on the set of the E4 series, and, while they quickly realised it wasn't meant to be, she found love again with someone else. Marilyse, 40, met her mystery man, who is not in the public eye, a year ago and things seemed to be going well between the pair but now an insider has claimed that the whole thing has come to a very abrupt end. A source told The Sun: "Marilyse is really upset and can't believe she's ended up single again. She was dumped over text after falling head over heels. It was a whirlwind romance and in hindsight she feels she was love bombed." Lovebombing, which originated as a term in the 1970s but has gained particular momentum since the advent of social media, is used to describe the action of showering someone with affection to an excessive degree shortly after meeting as a way to secure them into some kind of romantic relationship. The reality star is yet to break her silence on the matter publicly, and has instead chosen to keep her 131,000 Instagram followers up to date with health and fitness tips instead. After both she and Franky agreed to go their separate ways following their time on the television experiment in 2021, Marilyse struck up a relationship with fellow MAFS star Matt Murray, 34, but even that fizzled out after six months, and she claimed at the time that the whole thing had felt "too intense" for her liking. At the time, she told new! magazine: "Matt likes to have all of your attention when you're in a relationship with him. He was needy and couldn't understand why I couldn't be his all the time. "I wouldn't call them red flags, but there were times when he'd question me about silly things - things that were unnecessary - and then question me about them again." In response to Marilyse's claims, Matt told the Mirror: "I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the comments made about me by Marilyse regarding our relationship. "Whilst I acknowledge Marilyse's feelings, I do not agree with her comments. Relationships can be complex and there are always two sides to every story. "I am very private so I don't wish to share my side of the story publicly. I would like to draw a line under this now." He added: "While I understand that Marilyse has shared her perspective on our time together, I want to make it clear that I hold no ill feelings towards her and I wish her nothing but the best. "I am committed to growth. Moving forward, I am focusing on the positive and surrounding myself with supportive people who encourage me to be my best self." "So I started feeling on edge around him." Matt had moved on with Marilyse after his spontaneous marriage to Hughes didn't work out, even though they appeared to have hit it off to begin with. Things turned sour and she decided to call it a day and dumped the tattooed barber with sources claiming he had been causing upset while "gaslighting" his social media followers. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, a source close to Marilyse said: " We're all so relieved that Marilyse saw sense and ended things with Matt. He treated her appallingly, she was totally blinded by him, he love-bombed her and she always sees the good in people which left her vulnerable to him." Marilyse is not surprised by Matt's recent behaviour on Instagram. She expects nothing less from him. "Marilyse tried to see the good in him because she knows oh too well how the show edits can portray cast members inaccurately, but unfortunately, as time went on it became clear he didn't appreciate her."
