Katie Price has been sharing her fears for her oldest child Harvey, 24, who has Prader-Willi syndrome, which causes a constant hunger that can cause severe obesity
Harvey Price has been hitting the gym after getting his weight loss off to a strong start after shifting two stone.
His proud mum Katie Price, 48, has been showing off his hard work with the 24-year-old making progress after she reveled he has been using Mounjaro. Harvey, who lives with Prader Willi Syndrome, blindness and autism, began taking the medication back in August amid fears he would have a heart attack after reaching 30 stone.
Harvey’s rare condition causes a constant hunger that can lead to severe obesity, leaving the terrified mum with a little option but to try the diabetic drug. Now he’s trying to lose some pounds on his own and she snapped him with boxing gloves on enjoying a sparring session.

Harvey can be seen with a big smile on his face as he punched the pads and Katie captioned the post: “Proud mummy.” She explained her jab decision on her podcast co-host with sister Sophie.
Katie told listeners: “He’s started Mounjaro because I told you he’s lost two stone Harvey has been on the Mounjaro nearly a month, he’s got one week left. I’ve been cooking meals like in the containers, batching cooking, then I’ve been eating them as well.
“I have noticed, I don’t know anyone else who has taken Mounjaro , a lot of my friends have, I asked them.
“The past week, Harvey is now wanting more food, more this, is that because her needs to up the level? Which they are doing in a week. I’ve noticed it. He goes back in a week and I can’t wait to see what hes lost.”
Revealing her son was now at “high risk of having a heart attack” last month, she said: “It’s getting to a point now, where he doesn’t want to walk anywhere, he gets out of breath and sweats and they have said he is at high risk of having a heart attack.
“You try to [force him to walk] but he literally breaks into a sweat. I bath him twice a day and it breaks my heart seeing him get in and out of the bath because he’s so big and heavy.”
Katie was then asked if her son ever gets upset over his weight. However, she replied: “No. He says he’s got Santa’s belly, he’s all about Christmas now. “It’s funny, if he sees someone with a big belly, he goes ‘you’re a fat pepper pig’, randomly in the shops.
“He just comes out with it and I go: ‘Harv, you mustn’t say that’ and he goes ‘sorry, d***head’, and I’m like ‘Harv, you mustn’t call them a d***head’.”
