Katie Price forced to send Harvey back to college early after he smashes her £3,000 TV as she admits 'I'm knackered'
Katie Price has revealed that Harvey has smashed another one of her TVs as she shared an update to her Snapchat on Sunday.
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.

Minister accused of cosying up to Big Tech admits that Artificial Intelligence DOES lie
The Technology Secretary yesterday admitted that AI is 'not flawless' – but defended snubbing attempts to beef-up copyright protections. Peter Kyle acknowledged the fast-emerging technology 'does lie' as he insisted the Government would 'never sell downstream' the rights of artists in the UK. He also admitted 'mistakenly' saying his preferred option on AI and copyright was requiring rights-holders to 'opt out' of their material being used by Big Tech. Sir Elton John last week described the situation as an 'existential issue'. He has also branded the Technology Secretary 'a moron'. Mr Kyle has been accused of cosying up to Big Tech chiefs, meeting with Apple, Google, Amazon and Meta – Facebook 's owner – ten times in little more than three months. The Government is locked in a standoff with the House of Lords, which demands artists be offered immediate copyright protection as an amendment to the Data (Use and Access) Bill. Without this, the new law would hand a copyright exception to firms developing AI. Critics warn the Government's proposed 'opt out' system would allow the current 'Wild West' set-up, in which copyrighted material can be 'scraped' from the internet to 'train' AI models, to continue. Speaking to Sky News, Mr Kyle said: 'I mistakenly said [the opt-out clause] was my preferred option... I've now gone back to the drawing board on that.' When asked about the risk of AI producing unreliable content, Mr Kyle said: 'AI is not flawless... AI does lie, as it's based on human characteristics.' The Government has said it will address copyright issues after the 11,500 responses to its consultation on AI's impact have been reviewed, rather than in what it has branded 'piecemeal' legislation such as the Lords' amendment. UK film industry jobs at risk in tech revolution By Daily Mail Reporter The use of AI in the UK screen sector risks jobs, copyright breaches and creative integrity, a report has warned. The British Film Institute report, which analysed how the sector is using the technology, warned the industry must safeguard human creative control, with job losses likely as roles are replaced by AI. It warned that the 'primary issue' is the use of copyrighted material – such as film and TV scripts – in the training of AI models, without payment or the permission of rights-holders. The issue has been highlighted by the Mail's 'Don't let Big Tech steal it ' campaign, which calls for the Government to protect the UK's creative genius. Rishi Coupland, the BFI's director of research and innovation, said: 'AI could erode traditional business models, displace skilled workers and undermine trust in screen content.'

Stunning waterside home sitting above unspoiled Cornish harbour and metres from one of Britain's most revered coastal paths goes on market
A stunning waterside home sitting above an unspoiled Cornish harbour and metres from one of Britain's most revered coastal paths has gone on the market. The property, named Tregwyn, has stunning views of the Port Quin cove and an eye-watering price tag to match - at £1.5million. It is also has easy access to the South West Coast Path, the 630-mile trail featured in new popular biopic film The Salt Path, starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. The four-bedroom, one-bathroom detached house, made from Cornish stone, boasts a whopping 2,168 sq ft of living space. Its unique features include a sea-facing patio terrace in the fenced front garden; a 'naturalised area' with a bench to take in the views; and land to the rear leased from the National Trust, with a shed and vegetable boxes. The home also boasts a wood burner, French doors, large dining room, snug, sun room, shower room, detached garage and a gated driveway with room for up to three cars. Gorgeous pictures show this 'waterfront oasis' at its best, with a view of an astonishing sunset and clear blue waters below, with the cove just 50 yards away. Near popular tourist villages Polzeath and Port Isaac, where ITV drama Doc Martin was filmed, estate agents dubbed this home 'the ultimate coastal dream'. Josephine Ashby, from John Bray Estate Agents, who are selling the property, said: 'There are a few properties that get under your skin, and this is one of them. 'The breathtaking, timeless location is second to none. 'This magical harbour is a very well-kept secret tucked between the popular villages of Port Isaac and Polzeath, with the water lapping at the foot of the cliff beneath you.' The house, used in recent years as a private holiday home, is described on its listing as 'a very well-presented stone house commanding exceptional water views'. It also offers 'front row seats to north Cornwall's sensational sunsets' and 'enjoys a light and sunny aspect in a peaceful and idyllic setting'. The waterfront outdoor space is 'perfect for soaking up the fresh sea air'. Port Quin was once a bustling fishing port, but is now a peaceful, sheltered inlet facing the Atlantic Ocean. It is popular for walking, wild swimming, kayaking, picnics and barbecuing - and boasts a discreet wood-fired sauna, run by a local business. Nearby Daymer Bay, as well as the close-by village of Rock, offer sailing, water skiing, canoeing and windsurfing. Rock also offers a ferry and water taxi across to the popular tourist town Padstow, while shops are near at hand in the market town Wadebridge too, just six miles away. Golfers can enjoy high-quality 18-hole courses at the renowned St Enodoc Golf Club or The Point at Polzeath. The location will likely prove popular for the growing fanbase of the The Salt Path film, based on Raynor Winn's best-selling 2018 memoir. It tells the story of Ray and her husband Moth, who decided to walk the South West Coast Path after their lives unexpectedly took a drastic turn. The failure of a friend's business venture, which they had invested in, saw them evicted and left homeless. And that same week, Moth received a terminal diagnosis of corticobasal degeneration, a rare neurological disease.
