Katie Price has made an emotional public plea for help with her son Harvey's health, saying she 'can't lose him'. The 47-year-old former glamour model revealed this week that Harvey, 23, is at risk of a heart attack due to his weight, which is exacerbated by Prader-Willi Syndrome, a condition causing insatiable hunger and a slow metabolism.
On her Instagram stories, Price wrote: 'NHS ARE NOT HELPING IF THETES ANY PRIVATE DOCTORS WHO ANY ONE KNOW PLEASE DM I CANT LOSE HARVEY'. She expressed frustration that the NHS has not provided sufficient support despite Harvey being classified as obese.
Speaking on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, she said: 'I'm not slagging the NHS off, but they know he's in the obese category... When he sleeps, I worry because he's snoring and wheezing, and then sometimes he holds his breath. He's massive... He'll end up dying of a heart attack.' She added that doctors had warned her years ago that if he did not lose weight, he was prone to a heart attack.
Price has previously shared plans to get Harvey into the gym, as he weighs nearly 30 stone. In a New Year's Eve video, she told him they would get 'very, very healthy' so he could ride rollercoasters for his birthday.
The plea comes amid growing concern from Price's family about her recent whirlwind wedding to Lee Andrews, a Dubai-based man who claims to be a millionaire. Reports have debunked his claims, including AI-doctored photos with celebrities and false links to the Prince's Trust and Labour Party. It was also revealed that Andrews was imprisoned in Dubai weeks before the wedding, begging for cash from fellow inmates. His ex-fiancée Alana Percival said he proposed to her in the same way he did to Price.
Despite the concerns, Price has continued to share gushing posts about Andrews on social media.
