Katie Price: Harvey and Me gained a huge positive response from the public when it aired earlier this week.
The BBC documentary showed the realities of Katie’s life with her disabled son Harvey as she tried to find him the perfect residential college.
However, the mum-of-five has now had to deny she “cashed in” on the show.
What did Katie Price say about Harvey and Me?
Speaking to The Sun, Katie said she didn’t want to show Harvey “having a massive meltdown” in the doc.
She said: “It’s distressing for people watching because he really does kick off. And when he kicks off it’s like, ‘duck dive, what’s he going to chuck!’
“But I thought I don’t need to add that in there – I think there’s enough in there for you to see that he is challenging.
“We took the stance not to exploit him, I didn’t want people to say, ‘Oh look Katie is using Harvey to cash in.'”
Katie added that the BBC “aren’t a channel that pay money” and it’s “more about education for them”.
I didn’t want people to say, ‘Oh look Katie is using Harvey to cash in.’
The star insisted that “not everything is about money for me”.
Meanwhile, Katie was hugely praised after the documentary aired.
Presenter Richard Madeley even called for the star to receive an honour from the Queen.
Katie’s ex-husbands Kieran Hayler and Peter Andre also praised Harvey, 18.
Kieran, who was with Katie from 2013 to 2018, said: “So proud of you @officialmrharveyprice.”
He also said he loves the bond Harvey shares with him and Katie’s two youngest children – Jett and Bunny.
In addition, Peter – who has two children with Katie from their marriage – wrote on Instagram about Harvey: “He’s the best.”
Following the emotional documentary, viewers praised Katie on Twitter with many calling her a “phenomenal” mum.
