Katie captioned the shot with: "Baking with Harvey 🍰 carrot cake for all the family today." While the majority of comments were kind, there were some trolls who used the picture to mum-shame her. One wrote: "Thought you were really worried about Harvey's weight!!! And you make a cake?!" While another added: "Bake it from scratch Katie. You can make one much healthier than from that cake mix, and use real butter not spread." This one said: "Wouldn't it have been healthier for Harvey if you'd made it from scratch." Another chimed in: "You moan about his weight but feed him cake." Most read in Showbiz HARVEY'S WEIGHT JOURNEY Meanwhile, last week She has been worried about her son's health after his weight reached 30st. Katie Price drops huge hint daughter Princess Andre is in talks for Love Island after boyfriend split But now she has revealed they have looked at weight loss jabs to help him. Speaking on the latest episode of her The Katie Price Show podcast, she said: "Hopefully Harvey starts his Mounjaro this week, but we'll talk about that next week and I'll go through all of what's happening about that." The mum-of-five previously opened up on how Harvey's life was at risk because of his size. The TV personality's eldest child has Prader-Willi syndrome, which sparks a constant desire to eat food and a permanent feeling of hunger which leads to obesity. 4 Katie is hoping to get Harvey on weight loss jabs Credit: PA Harvey battles a series of debilitating conditions including autism , septo-optic dysplasia, ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder. In a video posted in April, Katie revealed: 'I'm so heartbroken and gutted that his weight is just going up. 'I just googled it in stones, 188kg is just a few kg of being 30 stone.

In February Katie told Read more on the Irish Sun Harvey's , 53, between 2000 and 2001, but split shortly after Katie told him she was pregnant. Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK. Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Can I get them? NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics. Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss. Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk. Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines.

Love Island star opens up about romance with glam girlfriend for the first time and reveals he's returned to normal job
HIS failure to find love in the villa last summer proved to be a blessing in disguise. Just seven months after being dumped from the ITV show on day 10, 5 Munveer Jabbal has found love with girlfriend Maddie Credit: Munveer Jabbal 5 The couple went official in December and are still smitten Credit: Munveer Jabbal Now, the 31-year-old Surrey lad has spoken about their relationship for the first time in an exclusive interview with The Sun. "I did go on a few dates post Love Island," said Munveer. "I quickly realised that these aren't the type of girls that I want to be with long term. I eventually met my current girlfriend. "I found a lot of good qualities. We shared the same values and morals and that kind of stuff. Comes from good stock, good family. It just felt right. "Even though I wasn't expecting to jump into something, that connection felt genuine when I compare it to the other initial dates that I went on." READ MORE ON LOVE ISLAND Like many modern day love stories, Instagram . She sent him a request and Munveer wasted no time sliding into her DMs. Sparks quickly flew but both parties approached the hard launch with caution. It wasn't until December that the private pair went Instagram official, and the joint posts since have been few and far between. Most read in News TV Slowing things down went against Munveer's natural instincts. He admits: "To be honest with you, I fall in love so quickly. Axed Love Island star Munveer vents 'frustration' after being sent home amid claims he was 'edited out' by producers "I've always been like that. When I'm set on someone, I'm like 100 miles per hour. I think that's my kryptonite, my downfall." Unlike many villa romances, Munveer and Maddie aren't rushing to move in together even though they already spend plenty of time with one another. "We definitely talk about those things," says Munveer. "It's probably a bit too soon. There's been where she comes and doesn't leave for two or three weeks. The flat is literally upside down, which is always fun. "But I think long-term, you look at your potential partner and you want those things. To be able to live together, buy a house together, all the rest of it. I wouldn't go into something lightly without knowing these things." Before the pair settle down, there's triple dates to be had with Munveer's villa pals Sam Tyalor and Hugo Godfroy, both of whom are in relationships . 5 Munveer lasted 10 days in the villa last summer Credit: Rex 5 He was found himself in a friend couple with Patsy Field Credit: Rex "I was talking on WhatsApp and we're going to plan a little triple date in London at some point, which would be nice ," says Munveer. "And then Sam's getting ahead of himself saying, 'yeah, let's book a holiday and do this, do that'. "Let's get the girls connected over a dinner and then we can start thinking about that kind of stuff. They're both taken and, from what I know, really happy." He then joked: "I think Hugo's a little bit under the thumb. He's gone a bit quiet. He was really active on the WhatsApp group. As soon as he gets his missus, he's just gone non-existent. Which is fair enough, he's in the honeymoon period. But both the boys are doing really well and they look like they're loved up." In a series that was He doesn't hold a grudge against the former Towie star though, acknowledging it was out of his control. He simply accepts that there wasn't a girl there for him during his short time in Majorca. "They show you what you want to see and they create this narrative," he says. "But it's really hard to just wake up and fancy someone. Believe it or not, I don't care what you say, everyone has a type. "You can't force that. Yes, you're on reality TV. Yes, you're on Love Island but sometimes it just doesn't feel that genuine, and I was never going to break character or just do things for the sake of it. "That's why I was super upfront with Patsy [Field]. "But I just knew a part of me, there was something missing. I think that wasn't really shown because who wants to see that?" Not long after the show, Munveer returned to his work in recruitment, specifically the tech sector, which he now has a decade of experience in. But having had a taste of the Love Island life, he's craving more time in the public eye. "I've had a taste for it now and I feel like where I had it just taken away from me ever so quickly," he says. "I feel like I've got so much more to offer. I loved it. So if there's more opportunities out there, like your Made In Chelsea , The Traitors or wherever it is, I'm definitely up for it." 5 The couple aren't rushing into moving in together Credit: instagram/@munveerj
