Katie Price has shared an update on her son Harvey Price, revealing that he has moved back into the family home after not settling into his own flat.
Harvey Returns Home
On the latest episode of her podcast, the Katie Price Show, the former glamour model discussed how 'hard' it is to care for the 24-year-old full time while balancing her career. Harvey, who has Prader-Willi syndrome, previously lived in a supported living facility in Southampton.
'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.'
Health Challenges
Harvey was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome shortly after his birth in 2002. The rare genetic disorder causes 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 to Southampton. However, Katie explained that he dislikes the new placement. '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,' she said.
'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.'
Keeping Quiet on Lee Andrews
Despite recent drama involving her husband Lee Andrews, who is currently in prison in Dubai, Katie chose not to discuss their relationship. 'We're skipping the Lee stuff - it's got so out of hand and I just need some quiet from it,' she announced. 'The Lee and me situation, I'm just going to keep to myself.'
