Katie Price has issued an urgent plea for help with her son Harvey's health, saying she 'can't lose him'. The 47-year-old former glamour model took to Instagram Stories to ask for recommendations for private doctors, writing: 'NHS ARE NOT HELPING IF THETES ANY PRIVATE DOCTORS WHO ANY ONE KNOW PLEASE DM I CANT LOSE HARVEY'.
Harvey, 23, has Prader-Willi Syndrome, which causes insatiable hunger and a slow metabolism, leading to rapid weight gain. On her podcast, The Katie Price Show, Price revealed her fears that Harvey could die of a heart attack due to his weight, saying: 'When he sleeps, I worry because he's snoring and wheezing, and then sometimes he holds his breath. He's massive... he'll end up dying of a heart attack.'
Price criticised the NHS for not providing adequate support, despite knowing Harvey is in the 'obese category'. She added that she had been told years ago that if Harvey did not lose weight, he was prone to a heart attack. Earlier this year, she revealed plans to get Harvey, who weighs nearly 30 stone, into the gym.
The plea comes amid growing concern from Price's family about her recent whirlwind wedding to Dubai-based Lee Andrews, whose claims of wealth and connections have been debunked. Despite this, Price has continued to share gushing posts about him on social media.
