In an emotional and candid revelation, Katie Price has shared the heartbreaking reality of her son Harvey’s recent struggles, giving fans a glimpse into a mother’s love tested by distance, care, and the challenges of living with a complex disability.
Harvey, 24, who has Prader-Willi Syndrome, has been living away from home at a specialist residential college in Cheltenham since 2021. But after funding for the placement was cut in 2024, Harvey moved into supported independent living, with a temporary base in Southampton — a situation that has left both mother and son deeply unsettled.
Speaking on The Katie Price Show podcast, Katie revealed that Harvey has been spending more time at home, explaining:
“I think people are noticing I’ve got Harvey here more than I normally do. Normally he’s in Cheltenham.”
The former glamour model shared the gut-wrenching messages Harvey sends when he’s away:
“I hate it here, Mum. I just need you. I want your cuddles, hold my hand.”
Katie admitted that receiving these texts is heart-breaking and balancing her work while caring for Harvey has been extremely challenging. “It pulls on your heart. So I’ve got him here, and it’s hard because I’m working and his carer at the same time,” she said, highlighting the emotional weight of her daily routine.
Harvey’s care and living arrangements have shifted multiple times in recent years. The family is now awaiting a new placement closer to Katie’s home, expected to be ready next month — a move that Katie hopes will provide Harvey with stability while keeping him near the people he loves most.
Katie’s openness offers a rare and intimate look into the life of a mother navigating love, responsibility, and the delicate balance between independence and support for a child with complex needs. For fans, it is a reminder of the emotional sacrifices parents make, and the unwavering bond between a mother and her son.
Beyond her role as a devoted mother, Katie recently returned from Dubai, where she had been investigating the detention of her husband, Lee Andrews, in Al Awir prison. While Lee reportedly claimed arrest on suspicion of espionage, it is understood to involve a private civil matter.
In the midst of public scrutiny, travel, and media attention, Katie’s focus remains on Harvey. Her honesty, vulnerability, and dedication continue to resonate with fans, showing the raw, unfiltered reality of parenthood when love and duty collide.
Harvey’s story — and the messages he sends to his mother — is both heart-breaking and inspiring, a poignant reminder of the extraordinary lengths a parent will go to ensure their child feels safe, loved, and at home.
