Katie Price shared clips of her taking son Harvey back to college

Katie Price has shared her sadness at needing to take eldest son Harvey book to college. The former glamour model, 46, revealed the 22-year-old didn’t want to leave her side.

Harvey, has a rare genetic condition called Prader-Willi syndrome, which means he’s constantly hungry and battling life-threatening obesity. He also has autism and is partially blind.

Harvey has been living independently at the specialist further education institute National Star College for a number of years, visiting his mum and siblings on occasion. The accommodation is three hours away from Katie’s former Mucky Mansion home in West Sussex.

However, following his latest spell back at his family home, Katie has admitted he wanted to stay put. The mum-of-five took to her Snapchat account while in her car to share stories both before and after dropping Harvey back at the school.

She showed her son getting upset at having to leave her. In the first upload, Harvey was sitting in the back of Katie’s car.

She captioned the post: “It’s always hard taking Harvey back to college.” In the clip, she is heard saying: “Harvey’s upset, aren’t you Harv? It’s okay.”

As the camera showed Harvey looking miserable, he mumbled “yeah” and then looked out the window. Another clip saw Katie explain how it was “very difficult” to get her son to settle again in the college.

She said: “Now that was very difficult, it was really upsetting. Harvey just did not want to go back to college.

And she confessed: “I’m surprised I’ve still got a car left,” indicating how Harvey was “literally gonna go for the car”. She added: “It is so sad when your son just doesn’t wanna go to college and just wants to be with you all the time.”

“That’s why I can’t wait for him to come home near us but the place we have got for him is not ready yet – maybe in May. So yeah, it is heartbreaking.”

Katie often shares her loving bond with her son on social media. Katie took to Facebook earlier this month to share a video of her and Harvey singing. Katie had her black her pulled back out of our face as her son lay contently on her chest.

The duo sang a sweet song to each other as they declared their love for each other. They took it in turns to sing lines of the tune.

Katie then finished the adorable upload by giving Harvey a kiss on the forehead. He then told his mum: “Love you.”

Fans were quick to share their love of the video in the comments section of the upload. “You’re a great mum to Harvey and he knows it too,” wrote one user, while another added: “Cutest thing ever. Beautiful.”
