Katie Price has offered a new update on her son Harvey’s health, explaining that he is expected to begin a new weight loss medication after completing several trials. The TV personality, 47, said her 23-year-old son, who currently weighs 28 stone, is still working to “lose weight through his diet” but will soon transition to a medical option to help speed up his progress.

Harvey previously weighed 30 stone in April, and recent dietary changes have helped him shed around 1.5 stone. He faces multiple health challenges. He is blind, autistic, has septo optic dysplasia, a learning disability, and has Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes chronic hunger and often leads to obesity. Price has long expressed concern that without additional intervention, her son’s health could decline further.
