Harvey, 22, was born with the rare genetic condition Prader-Willi syndrome, and is also autistic and partially blind and as a result spends a lot of time in a residential facility for those with additional needs.
Katie said: 'When I took him [Harvey] 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'.'
"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'."
Harvey was previously accepted into a £350,000-a-year residential college three hours away from Katie's home in Horsham, West Sussex.
Sophie asked: 'How long has he got left at college now?'
Katie revealed plans to move him to a college closer to her.

The media personality 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 admitted her struggles at looking after Harvey, saying: 'He's worse than a newborn.
"He's worse than a toddler. It's full-on as you know, constant.'
Katie said the new facility is only 25 minutes from her new home.
During the same episode of the Katie Price show podcast, the mum-of-five opened up about her fears for Harvey's weight.
She added: "He's just under 30st and that's huge. He's on the verge of a heart attack.
"He won't have a long life if he carries on putting more and more weight on.
"That's obviously a massive worry for me, but we're doing something about it with the doctors.
"We're waiting to start him on Mounjaro but because of his complex needs and medications he's on things aren't as easy."
The mum showered her disabled son with praise as she spoke of the challenges in bringing him up.
"I love my Harvey Price.
"As much as I say Harvey is hard work, it's a hard work I wouldn't want to be without. It's very rewarding.
"I can't imagine Harvey in two years when he's started Mounjaro and has lost a lot of weight."
