Katie Price shares loving tribute to her eldest son Harvey on his 23rd birthday
Katie Price shared a loving tribute to her eldest son Harvey to mark his 23rd birthday on Tuesday. The former glamour model, 47, took to Instagram on his birthday eve to post a series of throwback snaps with Harvey as she celebrated his special day with him. She shared a smiling selfie of her and Harvey together on the beach and another picture of her son planting a kiss on her cheek. In a caption, she gushed over her 'forever love' for her son and shared her excitement over spending Harvey's birthday with him. Katie welcomed Harvey on May 27, 2002, with her ex Dwight Yorke while she also has another four children with two ex-partners. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Katie shares her kids Junior, 19, and Princess 17, with her first husband Peter Andre, and Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, with ex-husband Kieran Hayler. 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 moved 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.

Katie Price takes swipe at ‘cheating' Dwight Yorke after he abandoned son Harvey
KATIE Price has taken a swipe at 'cheating' ex Dwight Yorke after he abandoned their son Harvey. The former glamour model, 46, and former footballer Dwight, 53, dated for a short period between 2000 and 2001, but split shortly after Katie told him she was pregnant. 6 6 6 Their son Harvey - who has medical conditions including Prader-Willi Syndrome, autism and septo-optic dysplasia - was born in May 2002. Speaking on Outlet Ten Discussions, Katie said she had "always been the breadwinner" in her past relationships. She told host Maya Rai: "I've always been the breadwinner. I'm always the one who's earned the money. "I've never been with someone, ever... well, I was with Dwight Yorke." Katie added: "But he cheated on me and that ended anyway and he wasn't around for Harv. "So, that's a different thing. I fended for myself, for me and Harv. "Even though Dwight is very welcome, any time, to come into Harvey's life, because I'm not that kind of person." Former Manchester United star Dwight initially denied he was the father, demanding a DNA test. However, a paternity test would later confirm him to be the baby's dad. Last year, Katie took a swipe at her ex by claiming Dwight had only seen Harvey "nine times" since his birth. In an interview on the Anything Goes podcast with James English, Katie addressed the lack of contact Dwight has had with his son. She told the host: "I think he's seen Harvey about nine times in his life." Katie added: 'I've tried to send him pictures of Harvey on Instagram, Harvey playing the piano, he just ignores everything - doesn't want to know. 'But the door's always open. Always.' It comes as Katie was said to have been snubbed by eldest daughter Princess Andre as the teen launched a fly on the wall TV series.

An insider told MailOnline: "Katie will not be in Princess's show, the decision has been made and it's final.

"Television bosses were adamant that nothing was to be 'staged' to include Katie as it would not be a real and truthful insight into her life." 6 6 6

How Man Utd legend's proposed Celtic transfer collapsed as he lifts lid on behind the scenes talks with iconic boss
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN How Man Utd legend's proposed Celtic transfer collapsed as he lifts lid on behind the scenes talks with iconic boss Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE LINKS between Celtic and Manchester United go way back. Paddy Crerand in the sixties. Lou Macari in the seventies. Brian McClair in the eighties. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 3 Manchester United's Ronny Johnsen, Teddy Sheringham, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Dwight Yorke and Denis Irwin celebrate with the European Cup Credit: Alamy 3 Henrik Larsson left Celtic in 2004 to join Barcelona and the club needed a replacement Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd In the noughties we saw Roy Keane and Lee Miller exchanged places but there could have been another person on the list of players to have featured for both clubs. And that man was Dwight Yorke. The Trinidad and Tobago striker was offered a contract by Celtic in 2004 but the move never materialised. Yorke, now 53, has opened up on how the proposed switch came about. The striker was at Blackburn Rovers at the time but wasn't enjoying his football. He had left Old Trafford for Ewood Park in 2002 but two years later was looking for a way out of Lancashire. With Manchester United he was a cult hero, having racked up the goals to help fire the Red Devils to three Premier League titles - not to mention being part of the famous 1999 Treble-winning squad under Sir Alex Ferguson. In the summer of 2004, the Hoops approached him with an offer to move to Scotland. He was viewed as a replacement for the legendary Henrik Larsson, who had departed at the end of the previous season. Yorke considered it but then Birmingham City came calling. Fresh drone footage goes behind the scenes at Celtic's delayed new training complex He decided to opt for a move to the West Midlands instead of Glasgow as it meant he could keep playing in the Premier League. Celtic wanted to take Yorke on loan for the season and after being rebuffed, they moved for Henri Camara instead (then at Wolves). Yorke has now revealed he travelled to meet iconic boss Martin O'Neill and why in the end he chose to stay in England. When asked how close he came to joining Celtic, Yorke told Instant Casino: "Very close, I was at Blackburn and I went up to Scotland to speak to Martin O'Neill, the deal was on the table. "I had played in the Premier League all my life but had a really terrible spell at Blackburn when my sister passed away. I wasn't in a good place so I felt like I needed to take a break from English football. "Then at the last minute Birmingham City came in for me after getting promotion, I was slightly reluctant because of my affiliation with Aston Villa before I went to United so it's not a decision to be taken lightly. "But it gave me a chance to stay in the Premier League and at the very highest level. That's why the move to Celtic didn't happen. "I'd only played in the Premier League since it started in 92 so I knew what the league was all about. WI admire Celtic and Scottish football, but I was looking for a way out and then Birmingham came in and Steve Bruce kind of gave me that opportunity to stay in the Premier League." The man O'Neill turned to, Camara, scored eight goals in 18 league appearances for the Hoops (12 starts) but never truly set the league alight and in the January transfer window he was allowed to terminate his loan at Parkhead and join Southampton. Celtic would end up finishing runners-up in the Premiership to Rangers, who won the title on the last day in a miracle now known as Helicopter Sunday. Yorke would play for a year at Birmingham before a spell with Sydney FC in Australia and then hung up his boots after three seasons with Sunderland. 3 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
