Katie Price has filmed her eldest son Harvey Price shouting out his dad Dwight Yorke’s name in a new social media post amid claims he hasn’t been in contact for years
Harvey Price has been filmed calling out for his dad Dwight Yorke in a new video after years of no contact. The son of former glamour model Katie Price and ex footballer Dwight shouted out his dad’s name as he donned a Manchester United shirt.
The 23-year-old has Septo-optic Dysplasia, autism and Prader-Willi syndrome, which means he needs round-the-clock care. Katie has always been open about the difficulties of caring for her disabled son, while she says Dwight doesn’t have contact with Harvey.
In 2018, Katie told Dwight the “door is always open” and a year later she made a more desperate plea, claiming Harvey “didn’t deserve it” as she shared a heartbreaking video of her son asking for his dad. Now, Harvey has been filmed calling out for his dad once more.

He wore the football shirt and chanted: “Oi oi, Yorkie!” Katie uploaded the short message to her Instagram, where she tagged Manchester United and Dwight.
The mum-of-five could be heard cheering on Harvey in the background as she urged him to chant by saying: “Go.” She then cheered on her eldest son after he said his message.
Katie got pregnant when she was briefly dating Dwight. Their relationship was short-lived when she allegedly discovered Dwight had cheated.
The two warring exes endured a rocky relationship throughout the rest of her pregnancy, with Dwight denying paternity until a DNA test proved otherwise. He did turn up to the hospital to visit his son, and also put his name on the birth certificate while trying to insist that Harvey should take his surname.
However, his visits with his son became few and far between, with Dwight admitting: “It is a combination of different things, one my time schedule and being based up in Manchester and a footballer on an everyday basis.
“Not sitting here and say I’m a total perfect father, I’ve made mistakes along the way and I would love to turn the clock back.” But in his own book published the same year, Born To Score, he painted a very different picture of his feelings towards his son.
“From the moment I set eyes on the little fella, I have loved my son like I could never ever have imagined possible,” he wrote. “I am not going to hear anymore that I did not care for Harvey, or have any understanding of his needs or that I was not interested in his welfare.
“Over the years I have heard Katie saying how [Peter] Andre is Harvey’s dad and what a terrible, uncaring father I have been, all of which sticks in my throat. Maybe if she had not made life so difficult for me, might have been able to take a far more proactive role.”
In 2021, Katie revealed in her book that Dwight had actually spoken to Harvey over the phone on his tenth birthday – and she was “shocked” that it happened. “But I think Dwight was even more shocked when Harvey asked him, ‘When am I seeing you?’,” she said.
Katie said the last time she saw Dwight was when she met up with him at a restaurant in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, in 2012. They spoke about what Harvey had said on the phone, then Dwight told her he didn’t want to be in Harvey’s life.
“Even after he said that, I was still trying to be persistent. I wanted Harvey to have his dad in his life, but he just wasn’t interested in any of it,” Katie explained. “This isn’t about me. This is your son and your flesh and blood. But he just didn’t give a s**t.
“There’s only so much you can try before you realise you’re flogging a dead horse. I got up and left and that’s the last time I saw him. I haven’t heard from him since.”
