And back in February, Katie admitted her son Harvey can't fit in her car after she revealed he will be starting weight loss jabs.
She said at the time: "He's entitled to a mobility car because he doesn't fit into small cars because of his size.
"Now the problem is they won't insure me as his carer because of my licence.
"So that's another bridge I've got to overcome. I'm his mum and the one who will be driving him around."
Now, the star has shown off his brand new set of wheels - A Volvo XC40 Mild Hybrid Plus Black Edition.
With the motability scheme, Katie doesn't get the car for free but Harvey's disability benefits help pay towards the lease.
She guided fans around on Snapchat as she told them she was trying to find a suitable car for her eldest son.
After looking at a few different Volvos, the star said to fans: 'Want to see what car I've chosen for Harv?'
She then reveals the Volvo in black and said: 'He's getting exactly this on a mobility scheme.

'This is the car, it's so nice, all black and you can fit a wheelchair in the back.'
Katie also revealed that the seatbelts in the back would be big enough to go around him, and told fans of the importance of having that feature.
The former glamour model explained that Harvey will move to his new house in August, and his new car will arrive that same month.
In another car related update for Katie's kids, her daughter Princess just revealed that she'd passed her driving test.
The excited teenager proudly her driving certificate while sitting in the car and beaming from ear to ear.
Princess told her fans: 'I passed…🤭,' and she looked very proud of herself while donning a glam makeup look and blue top.
Fans were delighted for the daughter of Katie and Peter Andre, and shared their messages of congratulations in the comments.
One person penned: 'Brilliant! Well done,' and another said: 'Congratulations princess safe driving now.'
Someone else added: 'Congrats I'm sure your dad will get you a decent car.'
And Princess' auntie, Sophie Price, wrote: 'Yes Pringle,' followed by a string of hands in the air emojis.
Meanwhile, Princess' mum Katie was disqualified from driving for two years in December 2021 after crashing her BMW in a drink-driving smash in Horsham.
Katie was charged at Northampton Magistrates' Court for driving without insurance and without a valid driver's licence.
Katie previously joked she would make her 17-year-old daughter become her chauffeur.
She told us at the time of Princess passing her theory: "Princess has passed her theory, she's got to do her test now, then me and Princess in the car."
"I messaged her and said I'm that close to getting you to be my driver."
Katie has been banned from driving six times in the last ten years after a series of infringements.

America's top luxury car brand stuns with plan to build 3 new models in the US in major victory for Trump
BMW has confirmed plans to invest $1.7 billion in the US to build vehicles for the future. The German luxury brand is sticking with two massive expenditures: $1 billion to upgrade its existing Spartanburg, South Carolina, factory and another $700 million to build a nearby battery plant in Woodruff. BMW first announced the $1.7 billion investment in 2022. But last week, the company confirmed the plan is still on track — despite criticism from Trump officials in April 2025, ongoing tariff pressures, and current supply chain disruptions. The two investments will support production of BMW's upcoming flagship electric SUVs — dubbed the iX5 and iX7 — which will start rolling out of the plant in 2026 and 2028. The company hasn't released detailed pricing or range expectations for either vehicle, but it's promising a major leap in performance. Both SUVs will incorporate BMW's next-generation electric technology, which boasts up to 30 percent more range and 40 percent less energy loss than current models. High-performance trims of the SUV will have over 800 horsepower, more than triple the output of the average American car. For BMW, the commitment to the American South has been decades in the making. The company opened its South Carolina plant in 1994 and currently builds eight SUV models there. But three decades of US investment haven't translated to goodwill in the White House. In March, President Donald Trump imposed a 25 percent tariff on all imported cars and vehicle parts — a policy that could hit BMW particularly hard, since many of its engine components are still produced in Germany. Consumers are just starting to see vehicle prices increase because of the tariffs. Insurify, a digital insurance agency, published a study that predicts BMW's models will receive a 19 percent price increase in 2025 because of the President's policy, the fourth highest among all US automakers. Then, a month later, Trump officials called out BMW's business model by name. In April, White House Trade Advisor Peter Navarro criticized the company for assembling vehicles in South Carolina using imported parts. 'This business model where BMW and Mercedes come in to Spartanburg, South Carolina, and have us assemble German engines and Austrian transmissions, that doesn't work for America,' Navarro said. 'It's bad for our economics. It's bad for our national security. We want them to come here.' BMW's press team immediately pushed back, noting the company's long-standing investment in the region's economy. 'We export more vehicles from the United States than we import into the country,' the company responded in a statement. 'Plant Spartanburg generates a total economic impact of $26.7 billion for our state, supporting nearly 43,000 jobs and $3.1 billion in wages and salaries.' Last week, despite the months-long drama, BMW confirmed to Ward's Auto that the 2022 EV investment is moving forward. BMW did not immediately respond to request for comment on the investments. Still, automakers are currently facing an uphill battle to build cars in the US: present trade tensions with China have created parts shortages that could throttle American factories. China has begun withholding exports of key magnets used in vehicle brakes, windshields, and microchips. The country currently produces over 90 percent of the world's supply of these parts. Industry leaders sent a letter to President Trump in May, warning that the Chinese response could stop US vehicle production for weeks. 'China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US,' Trump said in a late May post on Truth Social about the magnet withholding.

Katie Price fans 'concerned' as she performs in skimpy outfit after latest procedure
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Katie Price put on a dazzling performance on stage Saturday (June 7) as she wowed fans at Portsmouth Pride. Performing her songs including 'A Whole New World' - her past duet with ex-husband Peter Andre, Katie Price was joined on the bill by stars including Nadine Coyle from Girls Aloud, Sabrina Washington of Mis-Teeq fame, and Ella Morgan – notably linked to Price's beau, JJ Slater from Married At First Sight. Donning a risqué black bodysuit paired with a glittery hat spelling out 'PRICEY', Katie was a showstopper, flaunting her iconic assets and recently plumped up behind after undergoing a filler procedure she broadcasted live on social media in May. Yet as clips from her set made it to TikTok, users of the platform couldn't help but remark on her slender figure. On X, meanwhile, others voicing their concerns, including one person who declared: "I'm worried about Katie Price." While another simply reacted: "Oh dear." And echoing those sentiments, a third X user reflected: "I feel sorry for her, as it doesn't look like she has people around her that have her best interest at heart, by giving her sound advice. It's not funny, it's horrible." It's not the first time social media users have shown concern for the mum-of-five in recent times. In January this year, one tweeted: "Katie Price just popped up on my Instagram and I am so concerned. Maybe she's been like this for a while but is anyone looking out for her? She looks so unwell." It comes after fans admitted they were concerned over Katie's "frailty" earlier this year, after she shared her video of herself in a tracksuit. "Her friends and family are worried about her as she has lost a lot of weight very quickly, and she wants to go back under the knife for more work," a source told OK! at the time. The source elaborated: "She wants to have her ears corrected and her bum lifted with filler, but people who care about her are worried that she's not healthy or strong enough to be going on an operating table." (Image: Paul Jacobs/ Despite such concerns, Katie went through with enhancing her posterior in May. In a candid Snapchat update that same month, Katie addressed her followers about her weight loss - explaining that it had been wholly intentional after a foot injury and IVF attempts had led to weight gain. "Yes, I've lost weight," she confirmed. "Yes, that's what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." Meanwhile, in a conversation with Olivia Attwood on her So Wrong It's Right podcast last summer, Katie admitted she thought she had body dysmorphia – a mental health disorder characterised by an individual's fixation on perceived defects in their appearance. Katie voiced her intention to have more cosmetic procedures because she'd "never thought she was pretty."

MAFS fan shocked as show villain matches with them on dating app – and he's branded a catfish
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MARRIED At First Sight groom Tim Gromie has resurfaced on a dating app weeks after being slammed by viewers for fat-shaming his TV bride Katie Johnstone. A fan shared screenshots of his Hinge profile, revealing the reality TV villain is now looking for a 'long-term relationship' but is 'open to short.' 4 Mafs star Tim Gromie has joined Hinge - and was accused of catfishing with his pics Credit: Reddit 4 Tim married bubbly business owner Katie on the show Credit: Nine 4 Fans slammed Tim after he brutally rejected his beautiful bride and 'fat shamed' her Credit: Channel 4 His profile lists him as working in education, attending Monash University, and living in Melbourne. Photos show him at the beach with pals, and attending a basketball game and a footie match. But his profile left some questioning his photos on Reddit. "Look who sent me a like on Hinge," the fan captioned her post. 'Katie girl, I hope I've avenged you a tiny bit.' In the last pic on her post, she revealed she wrote back to Tim on Hinge, and said: 'That beer belly is still very much real though.' The post sparked mixed reactions from fans of the show. One Reddit user commented: 'Still shopping those 10-year-old photos around I see.' However another said the post went too far, and defended Tim, saying: 'I think it's quite cruel posting his private stuff on here… treat others as you'd like to be treated.' A third added: 'Bro is still catfishing with his photos.' MAFS Australia fans stunned as groom makes shock return to commitment ceremony despite early exit Tim drew widespread backlash during his short-lived MAFS stint for making critical comments about Katie's appearance, stating he preferred 'petite women.' Despite the bride's best efforts, straight after they had said "I do", unbeknownst to her, her groom stormed off. He was then seen shouting at producers, claiming Katie was "not what he asked for". Tim was accused of 'gaslighting' Katie after claiming he was making the most effort, which saw her apologise to him before he left the party after being grilled by other brides. According to Tim's groomsman Luke Stapleton, the controversy resulted in the reality star losing his job as a teacher. Speaking on the So Dramatic! podcast, he said: "Where he was working was already concerned [about Tim's MAFS appearance prior to filming]." Following the backlash, Tim deleted social media, and he is yet to confirm whether he will return to his job as a primary school teacher. FAKE ROW It also emerged that the groom was using a "fake name" on the show. An eagle-eyed fan decided to do some digging into Tim's life, and has now revealed his true identity. "I just did a deep dive on Tim on MAFS and there is something really weird going on. Before the show began Channel Nine put up contestant bios for everyone featured,' the vlogger said on TikTok. "Tim was there, but he was listed as Tim Andrews. Nine updated the bios and we can see the difference in the lingering Google data. The TikToker added that Tim's career in teaching would mean he would be registered on the Victorian Teachers Registry. But when they looked, there was not a Tim Gromie listed, but a Timothy Andrews was. "He must be registered, but I looked it up and no Tim Gromie appears. But when I put in Timothy Andrews someone does appear! Weird, right? It's all just a bit off, like what is this guy trying to hide?' she added. It's now emerged that Tim chose to use an alias on the show to "protect his teaching job". "He was really concerned about how being on the show would affect his career," a source told Daily Mail Australia.
