Katie Price: What Harvey Did Next viewers slam Dwight Yorke for ‘abandoning’ son

Harvey hasn't seen his father since he was a baby

Katie Price fans have criticised Dwight Yorke following last night’s episode of What Harvey Did Next.

The BBC One documentary followed the reality star, 43, and her son Harvey, 19, as he settled into residential college.

But as the emotional show aired on Monday, some viewers couldn’t help but fume over father Dwight’s lack of involvement.

Katie Price: What Harvey Did Next viewers fume over Dwight Yorke

Harvey has a range of complex needs and behavioural problems, with Katie raising him mostly as a single mother.

When the 19-year-old was born, the former footballer denied being his dad and demanded a paternity test.

Following a test in 2002, the father and son briefly reunited.

However, he sadly decided he didn’t want to be a part of Harvey’s life.

Following the documentary on Harvey last night, viewers rushed to social media to share their thoughts.

Many took to Twitter to slam Dwight, who has since went on to welcome a second son called Orlando.

One said: “Dwight Yorke has missed out on a wonderful young man which his mother has raised single handidly #WhatHarveyDidNext.”

Another added: “Dwight York should be ashamed of himself every moment of every day.”

A third wrote: “Say what you want about Katie Price. At least she’s always been there for Harvey and ensure he’s been provided with care, unlike his father.”

Dwight York should be ashamed of himself!

A fourth posted: “Dwight Yorke you’re an absolute disgrace #WhatHarveyDidNext.”

In addition, a fifth tweeted: “There’s a special place reserved in hell for Dwight Yorke.”

However, others were quick to praise Harvey.
