Katie Price reveals her worry over son Harvey, 21, who has been calling her from residential care in tears: ‘I’m a bit concerned at the minute’
Katie Price has revealed her concern for her son Harvey, 21, who has been calling her ‘crying all the time’.
The star’s eldest child is blind, autistic, has septo-optic dysplasia and a learning disability, and is one of the 2,000 people in the UK with Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder.
Consequently, he lives in the residential National Star College in Gloucester. The school provides specialist further education, training and personal development as well as residential services for people with learning and physical disabilities.
And though Harvey is receiving the care he needs, the former glamour model, 45, admitted she ‘misses him so much’
Going on to discuss her worries, she explained on her podcast, The Katie Price Show: ‘I’m a bit concerned for him at the minute, he phones me crying all the time.

‘”I love you, I miss you, I need your cuddles.” For a 21-year-old, he’s always going to be my baby. He does come home; I do see him.’
The TV personality continued: ‘I’ve just had a challenging year, you know as well as what is going on with the other kids.
‘But the kids are my life, my priority, they are my number one. I don’t love them all any different, they just have different needs they need from me.’
It comes after Katie revealed she was contacting the police after discovering cruel TikTok videos impersonating Harvey.
Speaking out against the abuse her son faces from trolls, Katie has revealed she will be taking action against a TikTok impersonator.
Speaking on Bake Off star Laura Adlington’s podcast Go Love Yourself, Katie, 45, explained: ‘I think it’s the racial abuse he gets, they take the mick about his disability.
‘There’s someone at the moment on TikTok, this guy really does look like Harvey, I’m going to go to the police about him and do it properly because it’s a thing.’
‘He does an impression of Harvey really well but the thing is he’s a normal guy and he’s just getting followers for doing it.

‘And it’s got to stop. It’s not funny. We can all take the p**s out of each other, we all have humour but you know when you’ve gone too far.’
Katie launched an online petition, named Harvey’s Law, in 2017 in a bid to make internet bullying a criminal offence, and make it mandatory for social media users to hand over their details in a bid to end anonymous abuse.
Katie was Harvey primary caregiver until he turned 19.
His father is former footballer Dwight York.
The glamour model and the ex premier league footballer, 51, briefly had a romance in 2001, and broke up soon after Katie fell pregnant with her eldest child.
When Katie first fell pregnant with Harvey, Dwight denied he was the father, until a DNA test proved his paternity.
