Katie Price has opened up again about her deep concern for her son Harvey’s health. The former glamour model and mum of five shared on her podcast that Harvey, 22, may start weight loss injections this week. For Katie, this isn’t just about appearance. It’s about saving her son’s life.
Harvey’s weight has reached 30 stone. That’s about 188 kilograms. Katie has been very open about how serious the situation has become. She said that doctors are considering starting him on Mounjaro — a medicine used to help with weight loss.
A Serious Health Fight
Harvey’s health isn’t just about size. He lives with multiple complex conditions. He has Prader-Willi syndrome, which causes constant hunger and leads to weight gain. He also has autism, septo-optic dysplasia, ADHD, and oppositional defiant disorder.
All these conditions make it hard for Harvey to manage his weight. Katie said his current size is affecting his quality of life. He struggles to walk. He has trouble putting on his shoes. And he’s at a very high risk of having a heart attack.
Katie shared how painful it is to watch her son go through this. She said he doesn’t fully understand how dangerous it is — and that makes it even harder.
Sharing the Journey on Her Podcast
Katie gave fans an update during her podcast The Katie Price Show, which she co-hosts with her sister Sophie. She mentioned Harvey will be joining her this weekend at Portsmouth Pride. She added that, hopefully, he will begin his Mounjaro treatment soon. More details will come in next week’s episode, she promised.
This isn’t the first time she’s talked about Harvey’s health. Back in April, Katie shared a heartbreaking video. In it, she expressed how sad she felt seeing Harvey’s weight continue to rise. She described how helpless it made her feel. She even Googled the weight and said out loud, “It’s just a few kilos away from 30 stone.”
She called it life-threatening — and it is. That’s why she’s been pushing doctors for help.
A Mother’s Love and Pain
Katie is honest about how tough this journey has been. She’s doing all she can to help Harvey live a longer and healthier life. She said, “It’s just another thing I have to deal with.” But there was no anger in her voice — only sadness and determination.
“It’s so sad,” she said. “Obesity and his condition are sad. It’s hard to see someone go through this. And he doesn’t understand.”
Katie’s emotions are real. You can hear the love she has for her son in every word. She isn’t giving up. She’s fighting for him. That’s what mums do.
Looking for Hope in Mounjaro
The idea to start Harvey on Mounjaro came after Katie spoke with top doctors. She shared in February that they suggested the injections could help him lose weight and live longer. Mounjaro is a newer treatment. It’s designed to help people with type 2 diabetes but has shown success with weight loss too.
Katie hasn’t confirmed when Harvey will start. But she’s hopeful it will be this week. She says once he starts, she’ll share more details.
Harvey’s Background
Harvey is Katie’s eldest child. His father is former footballer Dwight Yorke. Katie and Dwight dated briefly in the early 2000s. But they split soon after she found out she was pregnant. Since then, Katie has raised Harvey on her own.
She has always been open about Harvey’s needs and the challenges of raising a child with multiple disabilities. She’s used her platform to raise awareness and push for better support for families like hers.
One Step at a Time
There’s no easy fix for what Harvey is going through. But Katie is determined to help him take each step — no matter how slow. She knows it’s going to be a long journey. But she’s not walking away. She’s walking with him.
And now, with medical help possibly starting soon, there’s hope. Hope that he’ll feel better. Hope that his health will improve. And hope that he can enjoy life more fully.
