Katie Price forced to send Harvey back to college early after he smashes her £3,000 TV as she admits 'I'm knackered'
The former glamour model, 46, was sending her eldest son back to college early due to his outburst after he became frustrated and smashed the screen of the £3,000 TV.
It isn't the first time he has caused damage to one of the star's TVs as she confessed to fans: 'I'm knackered. I am so tired.
'JJ has taken Harvey back to college I have come back to bed after clearing up all the mess in the kitchen. That boy is unbelievable and now I have to find another TV.'
Katie also filmed Harvey as she told him off for his actions as she questioned him and revealed she was woken up by the loud noises at 6am.

The mum of five asked Harvey: 'What has mummy just heard?' as he calmly replied: 'Smashing the TV.'
Katie added: 'You was going to college tomorrow to get some new meds [medication], but now when are you going? You are going now.'
Harvey replied to this news by saying: 'Oh god!' before promising not to do it again.
Katie later explained to fans that Harvey told her he didn't like what was on the TV
When she went on to ask him why he did it, Harvey appeared to answer that it had angered him as it was early in the morning.
Katie later told her fans that he told her off-camera that he did not like what was on the screen but she added that there was nothing being shown.
Harvey is blind, autistic, has septo-optic dysplasia, a learning disability and is one of the 2,000 people in the UK with Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder.
Katie has undergone a difficult time trying to secure Harvey a college place after she was forced to withdraw him from a £350,000-a-year school amid funding cuts and her bankruptcy.
Though he later returned to school, Katie was hit by another hurdle in February when Harvey lost a place at a care home for being 'too difficult', but she was finally able to move him back to college last month.
But Katie shared her heartbreak as she told how Harvey didn't want to go back and said she hopes to be able to move him to a branch closer to her new family home in Sussex after leaving her Mucky Mansion.
Upon the move last month, Katie took to Snapchat to document the 'difficult and upsetting' journey which saw an upset Harvey lash out in the car.
She told her followers: 'Now that was very difficult, it was really upsetting. Harvey just did not want to go back to college.
'I'm surprised I've still got a car left. He was literally gonna go for the car. It is so sad when your son just doesn't wanna go to college and just wants to be with you all the time.
'That's why I can't wait for him to come home near us but the place we have got for him is not ready yet, maybe in May. So yeah, it is heartbreaking.'
Harvey has been living at specialist institution National Star since 2021, but amid cuts to funding and Katie's financial woes, he was withdrawn from last year.
Speaking on her The Katie Price Show podcast last year, Katie said: 'I'm having a nightmare at the minute.
'We were looking for him to stay at his college another year or if not a placement, but [the local authority] haven't accepted it.
'They've given me three months that he has to find somewhere else by July. With someone like Harvey you need the transitional move, you need to do it slow.'
She had been looking to extend Harvey's time at college for another year when West Sussex County Council cut his funding in July of last year.
The local authority refused to fund her son's care because he has 'no healthcare issues', with an assessor concluding that Harvey 'only needs social care'.
Katie - who was declared bankrupt for a second time last year over an unpaid tax bill worth more than £750,000 - has been trying to secure funding to keep Harvey at National Star.
Thankfully, Harvey was able to return to school and in December, Katie shared a snap of her son proudly holding up his letter to Santa which revealed his college triumphs.
In February, Katie then told how she tried to get Harvey into a new care home but he lost his place weeks before the move after management changed and they determined that they couldn't cater for Harvey's needs.
Amid the string of difficulties, Katie was able to move Harvey back into college last month but is hoping he can move into a branch closer to her family home in West Sussex in the coming weeks.
Katie was Harvey's primary caregiver until he turned 19, and in 2021 filmed his move into National Star College as part of BBC documentary Katie Price: Harvey and Me.
WHAT IS PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME?
Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare genetic condition that causes problems including constant urges to eat food, restricted growth and reduced muscle tone.
Other potential issues include learning difficulties, lack of sexual development and behavioral problems such as tantrums or stubbornness.
The rare condition, which affects one in every 15,000 children born in England, is caused by a defect on chromosome number 15 - and happens by chance.
Because there is no cure, treatment aims to manage the symptoms – with parents of sufferers urged to get their children to stick to a healthy, balanced diet.
Children with the syndrome can eat up to six times more than children of the same age – and still feel hungry.
It was first described in 1956 by Swiss doctors A Prader, A Labhart and H Willi.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews Mudtown: Let off a pet killer? This soft-touch magistrate will live to regret it...
Mudtown (U&Alibi) Are you an easy touch, a bleeding-heart liberal? Take this simple quiz to find out, based on a courtroom scene in the South Wales crime drama Mudtown. Imagine you're a magistrate. A young man, Sonny Higgins (Lloyd Meredith), is brought before the bench. A glance at his psychiatric report tells you he suffered a tough childhood — brought up in council care, when he was seven years old his foster mother killed herself. He discovered her body. It's a shocking story. But Higgins is in court for animal cruelty: he threw his ex-girlfriend's chihuahua off an eighth floor balcony. Asked why he did it, he tells the court with a smirk: 'Dog barking, ex shouting, just wanted peace and quiet. It worked.' That, to me, is genuinely unforgivable. I'd sentence him to transportation for life, if it was still possible. Magistrate Claire (Erin Richards) takes a different view. Higgins has 'turned over a new leaf'. He's let off with a fine. By the end of the first episode in this six-part thriller, we realised karma has some cosmic retribution planned for Claire. Higgins's new girlfriend is her own daughter, A-level student Beca (Lauren Morais). And whatever he's got in store for her, it won't involve the Oxbridge entrance exams. The show is filmed in Newport, along the coast from Cardiff, with the city's distinctive magistrates' court featured prominently. There's a romantic sheen cast over the docks, a sort of soft focus shimmer, though that might be drizzle. Co-writers Georgia Lee (herself a magistrate) and Hannah Daniel (who played lawyer Cerys in another Welsh drama, Keeping Faith) did part of their research by sitting in the court's public gallery, watching real cases. Fans of Keeping Faith will lap up Mudtown. Both dramas are centred on strong-minded, competent women, haunted by their past mistakes, juggling jobs and family while married to fairly useless men. Claire's husband is played by Matthew Gravelle, who made such a strong impression in Broadchurch that I wouldn't trust him if he was playing St Francis of Assisi. But the most dangerous man in her life is former childhood sweetheart Pete (Tom Cullen), now a small-town Mr Big. He turns up in the ladies' toilets at court, trying to intimidate Claire into jailing a defendant who could cause trouble for him. 'Don't let him out,' Pete warns menacingly. 'He's gonna be safer inside.' Instead, she lets the youth walk free on bail. Sure enough, he gets two bullets in the stomach as he goes to fetch fish and chips. He'd have been better off if Claire was the lock-'em-up-and-throw-away-the-key type. But she grew up in poverty on a housing estate, and likes to think she's 'one of the people' — spending her coffee breaks chatting to tramps, that sort of thing. Oh, and don't call them tramps, says Claire. They're 'human beings'. Yes, your Worship.

Ozzy Osbourne 'knew his farewell concert at Villa Park would be his final gig' as his close pal Tom Morello admits the Black Sabbath star had been 'frail for a while'
'knew' that his farewell concert at Villa Park would be his last ever gig, his close friend Tom Morello has revealed. The Black Sabbath hitmaker had reunited with the band for one last show at the beloved venue, before he passed away three weeks later at the age of 76. Musical director Tom, a close friend of Ozzy's who helped organise the concert, admitted he felt the rocker knew his days were numbered, after battling Parkinson's disease for many years. Speaking on US radio station Q101, he said: 'Ozzy Osbourne had lived on the edge for such a long time, the fact he lived as long as he did was a miracle. 'The fact he lived to play and feel that love one more time, to do Paranoid, to do Crazy Train. If you have got to go – and I wish Ozzy lived another 30 years – if you've got to go out... it felt like he knew.' Tom, a guitarist for Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, added that he got the chance to thank Ozzy after spending two years with him and his wife Sharon organising the reunion gig. But when asked whether he was surprised to learn the news of Ozzy's death, Tom added that he had been 'frail for a while.' He added: 'Friends of mine saw him a week later at another event in Birmingham. He wasn't on his death bed. He was just sort of living his life. It was a terrible and tragic surprise.' Tom said when Ozzy and Sharon approached him to organise the farewell concert, he vowed to make it 'the greatest day in the history of heavy metal.' He said: 'Black Sabbath invented heavy metal. Ozzy and Sabbath could not be more important to me as a fan. I laid out to make it a great show for fans and for them. 'It is so unusual that those guys headlined. They got to see all the work they had done and the great artists their music had created perform for them. 'They got to play and feel the love not just from the bands, the people in the stadium but from all over the world.' News of Ozzy's death last month sparked an outpouring of tributes from fans in the music world and showbiz industry alike. The Black Sabbath frontman, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, passed away at the age of 76 on July 22 surrounded by his family. He was buried a week later on July 30. It later emerged that both the BBC and Paramount+ were producing documentaries on the rocker after filmmakers were given access to him for the final three years of his life, with the channels said to be a 'race' to air unseen footage. However, while the BBC had planned to air their documentary on Monday, it was pulled at the last minute due to reported concerns from Ozzy's family that the project was being 'rushed.' A source told The Sun: 'There have been conversations behind the scenes that maybe the BBC were rushing their show on Ozzy out - especially because Paramount+ also had a film in the offing.' They told how the BBC's production had originally set out to make a 10-part series called called Home To Roost charting Ozzy and wife Sharon's move back to the UK, however upon his death, it was later decided it would be a one-off film. The insider continued: 'What mattered the most to the family was the overall tone and theme of the programme, which features Ozzy and Sharon in one of their last interviews together. 'It started to feel like the goal being pursued was that the BBC and the makers of the film were to get the show on air faster than the Paramount+ doc. Naturally that has caused some concerns with the family.' Ozzy was laid to rest on the grounds of his own mansion in Buckinghamshire last month during a private funeral attended by his family and a host of rock royalty. His widow Sharon, 72, and their children were joined by stars including Marilyn Manson and Ozzy's lead guitarist Zakk Wylde during the event at the family's 250-acre estate near Gerrards Cross. Official documents listed three causes of death for the rock legend. This included an out of hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction. In a statement shared last month, Ozzy's family said he died 'surrounded by love', adding: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.
