Katie Price shares update on son Harvey
She said: βI think people are noticing Iβve got Harvey here more than I normally do. Normally heβs in Cheltenham.β
When heβs there, he texts me, βI hate it here, Mum. I just need you. I want your cuddles, hold my hand.β
Harvey, 24,Β has Prader-Willi SyndromeΒ and attended a specialist further education college for young people with complex disabilities.
He started at the residential college in Cheltenham in 2021, before his funding was cut in 2024.
Harvey Priceβs care and living set-up has changed several times in recent years.
- In 2021, Harvey started at a specialist residential college in Cheltenham.
- In 2024, Katie Price said funding for that placement was cut.
- He then moved into supported independent living, with Southampton used as a temporary base.
- Katie has now said the family is waiting for a new placement, expected to be closer to her home.
The update helps explain why Harvey has recently been spending more time back at home with Katie.
After that, Harvey moved into supported independent living, with Southampton used as a temporary base while the family waited for a longer-term arrangement.
Katie said they are still waiting for his next placement, which she said is expected next month and will be closer to where she lives.
Harveyβs heartbreaking texts revealed
She said: βWeβre still waiting for his next placement. Theyβre saying next month and thatβs up the road from me. But where he is in Southampton, he just doesnβt like being there.
βWhen heβs there, he texts me, βI hate it here, Mum. I just need you. I want your cuddles, hold my hand.’β
Katie said those messages are heartbreaking to receive and admitted balancing work with caring for Harvey has been tough.
She added: βAnd it pulls on your heart. So Iβve got him here and itβs hard because Iβm working and his carer at the same time.β
Harvey and Katieβs day-to-day life has previously featured in the BBC documentary Harvey and Me.
