Harvey lives with Prader-Willi syndrome, a condition that causes a persistent feeling of hunger.
Katie Price became emotional as she spoke about her son Harvey’s health, revealing that his weight could put him at risk of a heart attack.
The 47-year-old former glamour model shared her concerns on Instagram Stories, asking followers for help in finding private doctors. She wrote: “NHS are not helping. If there are any private doctors anyone knows, please DM me. I can’t lose Harvey.”
For those unfamiliar, Harvey has Prader-Willi syndrome, a condition that causes an ongoing urge to eat and a constant feeling of hunger, often leading to obesity.
He also lives with several other challenging conditions, including autism, septo-optic dysplasia, ADHD, and oppositional defiant disorder.
“When he sleeps, I worry because he’s snoring and wheezing, and sometimes he even holds his breath,” Katie shared on her podcast.
“He’s massive, Soph — he’s just getting bigger. I’m scared he could end up having a heart attack.”
The mother of five also revealed that doctors had warned her years ago that Harvey needed to lose weight to reduce the risk of a heart attack. She is now determined to help him improve his health so he can enjoy riding rollercoasters on his birthday.
Meanwhile, Katie recently married Dubai-based businessman Lee Andrews in Dubai before holding a second, legal ceremony in February — a move that reportedly surprised and concerned both fans and members of her family.
Her marriage is said to have left relatives shocked, with some reportedly unhappy about her decision. Despite several promises, Lee has yet to relocate from Dubai, leaving Katie travelling back and forth between the UK and Dubai to manage her work and her children’s commitments.
