Katie Price distraught as ‘difficult’ son Harvey kicked out of residential care home

Harvey Price has been kicked out of his residential home for being ‘too difficult’ according to his famous mum Katie Price

Katie Price has been left devastated as her eldest son Harvey has unfortunately been ‘kicked out’ of his residential care home.

The former glamour model and mum-of-five, 46, shares son Harvey with ex Dwight Yorke. Harvey, 22, lives with Prader-Willi syndrome, autism, septo-optic dysplasia, and a number of learning difficulties. Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that causes constant hunger and can lead to obesity and diabetes.

Harvey has been kicked out of his residential home for being ‘too difficult’ according to his famous mum. The frustrated mum-of-five opened up on the unfortunate series of events on her weekly podcast, The Katie Price Show as she admitted that she felt hugely ‘let down’ by the council after they informed her that she would have to find new living arrangements for Harvey.

Filling her listeners in on the unfortunate event, Katie said: “Harvey is supposed to be moving in four-and-a-half weeks, they’ve changed management and said they won’t be able to cater for Harv, because he’s too difficult. So now I’ve got to find another placement for him… so yeah, more drama to deal with.”

Later in the podcast episode, she added: “We worked months and months for that and he was told four-and-a-half weeks before that he couldn’t go there, and Harvey has been doing the countdown. Well it’s stressful because you want the right thing for your child and it is a lot of time and effort to go back and do more meetings, more forms, it is very time-consuming because you want the best for your child.”

It comes after Katie emotionally revealed her concerns about her son’s weight thanks to his rare genetic condition last week. Katie said she is going to put Harvey, who weighs 28 stone, on weight-loss injections in a last-ditch attempt to save her son who is ‘always hungry’. She fears her eldest son may die if he doesn’t receive any help with his spiralling weight.

She told how top doctors have suggested using the jabs on Harvey with the hope being they can help save and improve his life. Katie confessed the situation with Harvey is “really serious” and explained how he is at risk of a heart attack.

The mum-of-five candidly shared that due to his genetic disorder, Prader-Willi syndrome, Harvey isn’t getting smaller at present. Speaking to the Sun, Katie said: “He’s putting on weight. It doesn’t matter what we do. He can’t put his shoes on without sweating. He can’t walk far because he gets out of breath.”

Katie claimed doctors advised the jabs to give him a better and longer life as well as improving his health. Harvey has a number of debilitating conditions including autism, septo-optic dysplasia, ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder.

She said she believes the injection option is a good thing as, because it’s done weekly, they can stop if there is any effect on Harvey. “We’ve tried food, he’s had ­dieticians, it’s just the way he is,” she added before saying it won’t affect any of his other medications. The reality TV star added that doctors would like Harvey to try the jab for “one or two years” while they assess him.
