Katie Price has revealed Harvey, her 18-year-old son with Dwight Yorke, doesn’t understand why he can’t see his dad.

Model Katie revealed Harvey’s heartbreak as he watches his siblings – Princess, Junior, Bunny and Jett – spend time with their dads.

Katie’s other kids regularly see their dads, Peter Andre and Kieran Hayler.

However, Harvey’s biological father, footballer Dwight, has wanted nothing to do with Harvey since his birth.

Katie said Harvey has developed quite the bond with her new boyfriend Carl Woods.

However, she admits Carl is “not here to be anyone’s father”.

She said Harvey likes “male banter” and has lined up Carl to be his “best friend”.

‘He wants a father’

“He’s a teenager, he wants a father. When I say father, Carl’s not here to be anyone’s father, they’ve got their own dads, but Harvey likes male banter. At the minute, I play the mum and dad role with him,” she said.

Harvey’s battle with his weight

For now, though, Katie is focused on helping Harvey – who weights “28 and a half stone” – to lose weight.

He suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome – which means he never feels full – partial blindness and autism.

Katie added: “He’s 28 and a half stone, he’s very obese. It’s so hard, no one understands trying to get his weight down. I’m trying to find a treadmill that can take his weight.”

The mum of five is also looking into colleges for her first-born.
