Katie Price compares son Harvey to a ‘nightmare newborn’

Katie Price has compared her son Harvey to a ‘nightmare newborn’ as she defends her decision to place him into residential care.

Her son is partially blind, autistic and has Prader-Willi syndrome, which is a genetic disorder that can cause obesity and aggression.

The 40-year-old appeared on This Morning to discuss her situation, she said: “He is now six foot two, 24 stone and he’s still growing. And he kicks off. The other day he kicked a chair across a room over a muffin.”

“On Instagram, I only show him when he’s good. But he’s got a side to him. My house is smashed to bits. This year he has broken eight iPads and four TVs. Someone might bang the door and he’ll chuck something.”

The mother of five continued to address other people’s opinion on her decision, she said: “Some people think I’m out of order but people don’t understand the situation.”

The former glamour model insisted that she ‘doesn’t want sympathy’ but admitted how difficult her son can be, she said: “He is like a nightmare newborn. He goes into the kids’ room at night, says ‘boo’, and scares them.”

Katie opened up about how difficult it was to make the decision: “I love him so much, he’s my life. It has taken me ages to be convinced this is the best place for him. I would never want him to think I am palming him off – but I have no choice.”

She went on to explain: “I can still go, have dinner, tuck him into bed, he will only be there Monday-Friday.”
