Katie Price reveals son Harveyâs heartbreaking texts to her as she shares big life update
Harvey has been living at residential college for some time
Katie Price has revealed that her son Harvey is back living with her after struggling away from home.
The former glamour model said Harvey is happiest when he is with her and has found it difficult living elsewhere.
Speaking on The Katie Price Show podcast, Katie said people had noticed Harvey was spending more time with her than usual.
Katie Price shares update on son Harvey
She said: âI think people are noticing Iâve got Harvey here more than I normally do. Normally heâs in Cheltenham.â
When heâs there, he texts me, âI hate it here, Mum. I just need you. I want your cuddles, hold my hand.â
Harvey, 24, has Prader-Willi Syndrome 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 Priceâs 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.
Harveyâs heartbreaking texts revealed
She said: âWeâre still waiting for his next placement. Theyâre saying next month and thatâs up the road from me. But where he is in Southampton, he just doesnât like being there.
âWhen heâs there, he texts me, âI hate it here, Mum. I just need you. I want your cuddles, hold my hand.ââ
Katie said those messages are heartbreaking to receive and admitted balancing work with caring for Harvey has been tough.
She added: âAnd it pulls on your heart. So Iâve got him here and itâs hard because Iâm working and his carer at the same time.â
Harvey and Katieâs day-to-day life has previously featured in the BBC documentary Harvey and Me.
Elsewhere, Katie recently returned from Dubai, where she had been trying to learn more about husband Lee Andrewsâ detention in Al Awir prison.
Lee allegedly claimed he was arrested on suspicion of espionage, although it is understood he is being held over a private civil matter.
