Katie Price's heartache as Harvey 'tries to kick car door in' on drive back to college
Katie Price has revealed her heartache over taking her son Harvey back to residential college, as she shares hopes to move him closer to her home in Sussex in the future
Mum Katie Price has shared her heartache over dropping her son Harvey back to residential college and admitted she feared she'd 'have no car left' when driving him back to the Cheltenham-based college.
The mum of five, 46, is mum to Harvey who has a series of conditions including Prader-Willi syndrome, autism, and septo-optic dysplasia, which affects his vision. The 22 year old joined National Star College in 2021, but Katie has recently revealed plans to move him closer to her – as his current residential college is a three hour drive away from Katie's Sussex home.
Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, Katie revealed Harvey's upset over returning to the college after he stayed with her for two weeks. She revealed: 'When I took him back to college, Soph, it broke my heart. He just so didn't want to go and I said: 'We have to go back to get your meds Harv' and as we were getting near it he was going, 'Mum, Harvey's so sad. I'm so angry', and I'm like, 'Why Harv' – obviously I know why.
''College, I miss Mummy. Mummy's the best'. And then I thought I'd have no car left he was trying to kick the car door backwards. And then, the college phoned me and said, 'Harvey said you're picking him up in a week and he's not coming back here now, is that true?' I said, 'No that's not true'.'
She added: 'And they phoned me and said, 'He keeps saying you're getting him in a week and he's not coming back to college again' and I said, 'No he's pulling the strings on you'.'
Sophie asked: 'How long has he got left at college now?' Before Katie revealed plans to move him to a facility closer to her. It appears the star has already chosen a new place for Harvey to live, but it isn't ready to move into just yet. Katie explained: 'We're just waiting for it to finish – the build – it should be next month now because it's a brand new…
'They're doing the whole place, you know what it's like on as building site things go on longer. He's just outgrown, just does not want to be there. And then, one of them phoned me and said – the one he likes there – said, 'Yeah he's really angry, he's hit me twice, he's kicked me in the leg. He's never gone for me'.
'That's how angry he is. He just hates it there and I hate it but then I've had him for two weeks on tour I need a bit of a [break] as well, do you know what I mean.' Katie then revealed her struggles with looking after Harvey at times as she continued: 'He's worse than a newborn. He's worse than a toddler. It's full-on as you know, constant.'
Speaking about the new place she's found for her son, Katie added: 'So when he moves to the new place, I can't wait. It's literally one stop [on the] train away and he's literally up the road – 25 minute, half an hour drive. I think the fact that it's his own place and it won't be like, when I say clinical kind of thing, because when he's at college he has to have special furniture and all of this there, incase he breaks…
'But this new one I'm gonna make a home from home – proper sofa, not constructed, special furniture, like, you know a proper bed that hasn't got padding on. Grown up, so it feels grown up for him. And then I'll see him all the time. Even if he comes out in the car with me he doesn't care he just wants to come out and I can take him and do things and, obviously, he's gonna be starting that Munjaro and he'll start getting a new lease of life. The more weight he loses…'
Sophie added: 'Yeah he'll be able to do more.' Katie then replied: 'Yeah, Junior, he'll give you a run for your money!'
Katie previously revealed her plans to put her son Harvey on a weight loss drug to help assist with Harvey's weight loss, after the star revealed Harvey weighs almost 30 stone. Harvey's struggles with his weight are due to his Prader-Willi syndrome, as the NHS states 'persistent hunger' is a typical feature of the condition.
Speaking about Harvey's weight recently, Katie revealed on Snapchat: '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.
'It's so life-threatening now, I'm still waiting for the doctors to get back to me starting on the mounjaro and his journey to a healthy life.'
She continued: 'It's so sad his quality of life at the moment where he's so big, he just can't really do much. It's just another thing I have to deal with because he's at high risk of having a heart attack, he struggles to put his trainers or struggles to walk anywhere but I love him and I'm going to help him through this.'

Jared Leto denies allegations of sexual misconduct from nine women
Jared Leto is facing allegations of sexual misconduct from several women, including some who were teens at the time. The Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman has been accused of inappropriate behaviour by nine women over a period of two decades. These claims involve alleged victims who say they were teenagers when the incidents occurred. According to an exposé published by Air Mail, the matter has 'been an open secret for a long time.' Representatives for the 53-year-old House of Gucci star have denied all the accusations to the publication. The claims against Leto resurfaced after a Los Angeles-based DJ, Allie Teilz, re-shared a post on Facebook from 2012 to her Instagram Story. In it, the 30-year-old alleged she was assaulted by the star when she was 17. She alleges that Leto 'knew' how old she was but 'didn't care'. 'You're not really in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… in a kilt… And a snow hat,' she wrote. 'I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17.' Teilz also described Leto's actions as 'predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.' An unnamed alleged second victim also told Air Mail that she was 16 when Leto briefly spoke with her at Urth Caffé in LA. Taking place in 2006, she alleges he got her phone number and called her days later. During the call, she says he sounded 'weird'. 'I don't know if he was on drugs or what… it was the weirdest, grossest voice… [but] for me, it's Jared, you know?' Claiming they would speak on the phone late at night, she says their conversations became 'sexual', with Leto asking if she'd 'ever had a boyfriend' and questions such as, 'Have you ever sucked a d**k?' A third accuser, Laura La Rue, 33, says she met Leto in 2008 at an animal rights event. At the time, he was 36 and she was 16. She says Leto asked what her age was, to which she responded. Despite knowing she was 16, she claims Leto still asked for her phone number, later inviting her over to his home in LA. There, he allegedly 'flirted' with and 'teased' her the 'whole time'. The model also claims that Leto was fully naked at one point and walked into the room as if it were 'normal'. 'I thought maybe this was just what adult men do.' A fourth woman, also anonymous, has said Leto approached her at an 18+ club when she was 20, where his assistant asked for her number. She said they 'hook[ed] up a little' at the nightclub and she visited his home several times afterwards. Echoing the second victim's descriptions, she also said Leto was 'weird'. 'I know some people are kinky, and that's fine,' she reasoned, but said 'his kind of kink … just didn't feel right.' Furthermore, a fifth alleged victim has said she and Leto exchanged flirtatious messages while she was underage. She allegedly also visited his home, where he would ask her questions of a sexual nature, including, 'Do any of the little boys you hang out with f**k you?' After she turned 18, their relationship was allegedly taken to another level. At one point, Leto is said to have 'pulled his penis out and started masturbating'. She says he put her hand on his penis and told her: 'I want you to spit on it.' In the original Air Mail piece, it is claimed that Leto was 'known' for taking an interest in younger women. One woman told the outlet: 'I remember being so physically ill to the point of throwing up when I passed billboards … for his films, and just wondering how everybody in LA knows.' A rep for Leto said to Air Mail: 'Their (the women's) communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate and Ms. La Rue later applied to work as Mr. Leto's personal assistant, further underscoring the absence of anything inappropriate in any of their interactions.' La Rue denies ever applying to be Leto's PA. The actor's publicist also defends that he 'has not had a drink or used drugs in over 35 years', following claims that he hosted parties at his mansion attended by approximately 60 'very young women to four or five men'. It's claimed guests were encouraged to go skinny dipping at the events. Leto, now an Academy Award and Golden Globe winner, first achieved recognition in 1994 for his role as Jordan Catalano in the teen drama television series My So-Called Life. He went on to have supporting roles in Fight Club (1999), Girl, Interrupted (1999), and American Psycho (2000), before turning his focus to music. More Trending Leto returned to acting with the 2002 thriller Panic Room and had subsequent roles in major blockbusters Suicide Squad (2016) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017). Meanwhile, in 1998, he formed Thirty Seconds to Mars, a band that has gone on to sell 15million records worldwide. Relationship-wise, Leto was married to actress Cameron Diaz from 1999 to 2003, followed by Russian model Valery Kaufman from 2015 to 2022. Reps for Jared Leto have been contacted for comment.

Katie Price sparks concern with her skinny frame as she performs on stage in tiny bodysuit
The star was a headliner at Portsmouth Pride on Saturday night FAN FEARS Katie Price sparks concern with her skinny frame as she performs on stage in tiny bodysuit Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KATIE Price has sparked new concerns after showing off her tiny frame while performing on stage. The reality star was one of the three main acts at Portsmouth Pride on Saturday, joining the likes of Nadine Coyle, Sabrina Washington from Mis-Teeq, and Drag Race UK stars River Medway and Victoria Scone. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 7 Katie Price showed off her tiny frame in a bodysuit on the stage Credit: Paul Jacobs/ 7 The performer stripped down to a back thong bodysuit with a bejeweled belt and hat Credit: Paul Jacobs/ Her boyfriend JJ Slater's ex-girlfriend, Married At First Sight star Ella Morgan, was also down on the line-up. Taking to the stage, Katie channeled her inner pop princess, donning a tiny black thong bodysuit that showed off her enhanced bum and famous boobs. She strutted on stage in a frilled pink jacket and a giant, jewel-encrusted hat embossed with the word "Pricey" in pink rhinestones, which matched a tiny silver belt around her hips. Over the course of her set, she sang songs including a piano led version of RnB classic (We Don't Have To Take Our) Clothes Off and Tell It To My Heart by Taylor Dayne, and A Whole New World – which she previously released as a single with ex-husband Peter André. But as she shed her shimmering jacket and danced in just her bodysuit, Katie's slim frame – which has been causing concern for fans – was put on full display. But the performer, podcaster and model has tried to shut down fears, saying she had deliberately been slimming down after a long-standing foot injury and attempts at IVF had made her put weight on. Speaking on her Snapchat in May, Katie said in the clip: "Yes I've lost weight. "Yes that 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. Katie Price boasts she earns 'really good money' but claims she can't rent anywhere to live after bankruptcy hell "So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." She then explained how, after finishing her failed IVF treatment, she became more active with healthy eating. "Everyone is talking about it - it's driving me mad," she said. "I'm healthy and I do eat. "If you look at old old pictures of me in the Jordan days, I was always skinny. "But today where i have lost weight, I feel, my butt looks like a deflated balloon." Some fans have asked Katie whether she has taken popular weight loss jabs to shed the pounds - but the star, who has been open in the past about procedures she's gone through, has strongly denied it. 7 The star has sparked concern with her tiny frame in the past Credit: Paul Jacobs/ 7 Fans cheers on the star as she performed on stage Credit: Portsmouth Pride 7 The singer showed off her bum as she danced in the outfit Credit: Portsmouth Pride 7 Confetti rained down on the star as she wrapped up her set Credit: Portsmouth Pride
