Katie Price has revealed that eldest son Harvey is living with her once again after finding it difficult to settle into his own flat. On the latest episode of her podcast, the Katie Price Show, the former glamour model shared how “hard” it was to care for the 24-year-old – who has Prader-Willi syndrome – full time, while also balancing her career.
While the mum-of-five did not address her ongoing drama with husband Lee Andrews, who is currently in prison in Dubai, she offered an update on how her son was doing. “I’ve got Harvey again, he’s sitting over here,” she told her sister, Sophie, at the beginning of the episode. “Poor little Harv this week, he fell over!
“He fell over the hallway, so he’s got a little limp at the minute. And his tooth is hurting him so I’ve got the dentist with him today. He’s in the little wars, aren’t you Harv?!”
Katie gave birth to Harvey following a relationship with Dwight Yorke in 2002, and he was diagnosed with the rare genetic disorder shortly after his birth – symptoms include weak muscles and slow development. He is also partially blind and has ADHD and autism.
He was previously enrolled in a residential college in Cheltenham in 2021, before moving into a supported living facility in Southampton. However, shedding light on their living situation in the podcast, she continued: “I think people are noticing I’ve got Harvey here more than I normally do. Normally he’s in Cheltenham.
“We’re still waiting for his next placement – now they’re saying next month – because that’s up the road from me. But where he is in Southampton, he just doesn’t like being there.
“When he comes here, you’ve got the TV on, there’s people coming here, people he knows, family, a normal environment. He just walks around. He doesn’t like the doors there…
“It’s so hard, even the transition to the other places. When he’s there, he texts me, “I hate it here, Mum. I just need you. I want your cuddles, hold my hand”. It pulls on your heart. So I’ve got him here and it’s hard because I’m working, I’m his carer at the same time. I’m doing it all – which I love doing. But it is tiring.”
Despite having a wild few days herself, jetsetting around Dubai in a bid to get answers from her husband, Lee – who is currently behind bars – Katie took the surprise move of remaining tight-lipped over their latest updates.
Despite being an open book about their relationship, she announced: “We’re skipping the Lee stuff – it’s got so out of hand and I just need some quiet from it.”
“It is a bit nuts, but as I’ve said, there’s so much stuff that I can’t even keep on top of everything myself. I’m in good spirits,” she added. “The Lee and me situation, I’m just going to keep to myself.”
