Katie Price says she's 'so proud' of son Harvey as she gives health update

Katie Price has said she's 'proud' of her eldest son Harvey as she gave an update on his health.

The former glamour model, 44, shared a photo of her eldest son with her 2.6 million Instagram followers. Harvey, 20, is seen smiling while stood in front of Christmas decorations, wearing black shorts and a hoodie as well as a pair of reindeer antlers.

Captioning the photo, Katie said: "Harvey doing so well keeping healthy and losing more weight giving him more energy his team are doing fantastic … roll on the rollercoasters Harvey mummy so proud" with two red heart emojis.

Friends and fans showed their support to Katie and Harvey. Instagram user @jojowjojow said: "He is looking so well in supported living. Absolutely thriving" while @nicole.chambers.3152 wrote: "Well done Harvey living away from home is obviously doing u a world of good and giving you a whole load of independence".

@sheenadisney said: "Well done Harvey ! You look amazing x" and @stacysutherland added: "Smashing it Harvey well done".

Harvey was born with Prader-Willi syndrome - a genetic condition which can cause people to feel constantly hungry and overeat, as well as have learning difficulties. He has also been partially blind since birth.

He has made various TV appearances throughout his life with his mum, including a BBC documentary called Harvey and Me. It followed the pair's relationship as Harvey turned 18 and prepared for adult life.

Earlier this year, What Harvey Did Next was broadcast on BBC One. The series followed Harvey as he moved to a supported college three hours away from home, while they both adjusted to life apart from each other.

Katie has five children; Harvey, whose father is former footballer Dwight Yorke, Junior and Princess, who she shares with singer Peter Andre, and Bunny and Jett, who she had with ex-husband Kieran Hayler.
