In the photo the mother and son are posing in the kitchen, with a packet of cake mix in view. Katie captioned the shot with: "Baking with Harvey 🍰 carrot cake for all the family today." While the majority of comments were kind, there were some trolls who used the picture to mum-shame her. One wrote: "Thought you were really worried about Harvey's weight!!! And you make a cake?!" While another added: "Bake it from scratch Katie. You can make one much healthier than from that cake mix, and use real butter not spread." This one said: "Wouldn't it have been healthier for Harvey if you'd made it from scratch." Another chimed in: "You moan about his weight but feed him cake." HARVEY'S WEIGHT JOURNEY Meanwhile, last week Katie gave her fans an update on Harvey's weight loss journey. She has been worried about her son's health after his weight reached 30st. Katie Price drops huge hint daughter Princess Andre is in talks for Love Island after boyfriend split But now she has revealed they have looked at weight loss jabs to help him. Speaking on the latest episode of her The Katie Price Show podcast, she said: "Hopefully Harvey starts his Mounjaro this week, but we'll talk about that next week and I'll go through all of what's happening about that." The mum-of-five previously opened up on how Harvey's life was at risk because of his size. The TV personality's eldest child has Prader-Willi syndrome, which sparks a constant desire to eat food and a permanent feeling of hunger which leads to obesity. 4 Harvey battles a series of debilitating conditions including autism, septo-optic dysplasia, ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder. In a video posted in April, Katie revealed: '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. 'So sad, obesity and his condition is sad, it's sad to see someone go through it and he doesn't understand.' In February Katie told The Sun she consulted top doctors who suggested starting Harvey on the jabs in a bid to improve his chances of living longer. Harvey's biological dad is former footballer Dwight, 53, dated for a short period between 2000 and 2001, but split shortly after Katie told him she was pregnant. Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK. Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Can I get them? NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics. Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss. Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk. Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines.

Katie Price gives update on son Harvey's course of Ozempic-style weight-loss jabs after revealing he now weighs almost 30st
Katie Price has given an update on her son Harvey's weight loss treatment, as she revealed he was due to start a course of Ozempic -style jabs next week. The former glamour model, 47, previously revealed the 23-year-old son was going on the weight-loss injections in a bid to help improve his life, after his weight reached almost 30 stone. Harvey is blind, autistic, has septo-optic dysplasia, and is one of the 2,000 people in the UK with Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder. A recognised symptom of his Prader-Willi syndrome is constant hunger, leaving Katie fearful for Harvey's health without further intervention, after already trying a number of different weight loss strategies over the years. Speaking on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, with her sister Sophie, the mother-of-five gave fans an update on her eldest child. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She explained that she set to perform at Portsmouth Pride this week and that Harvey was joining her on the trip. While Katie then added: 'Hopefully Harvey starts his Mounjaro this week, but we'll talk about that next week and I'll go through all of what's happening about that.' Mounjaro is the brand name for the drug tirzepatide, and has been hailed as the 'King Kong' of slimming jabs - more effective for shifting the pounds than similar drugs like Ozempic. In April, Katie said she was 'heartbroken' by Harvey's weight increase, as she explained how it had left him struggling to walk and at risk of a heart attack. She took to her Snapchat to explain how she wanted him to start Mounjaro as soon as possible, to improve his quality of life. She said: '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 bad 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 went on to say how difficult it was watching Harvey's ongoing fight, but vowed she would get him through it. Katie said: '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. 'So sad, obesity and his condition is sad, it's sad to see someone go through it and he doesn't understand.' Katie first revealed her intention to for Harvey to start using weight loss jabs in February, after consulting with his doctors. Speaking to The Sun to raise awareness, she explained that his medical professionals advised he may be taking the jabs for up to two years. She said: 'It's really, really serious and life-changing for Harvey. He's at risk of a heart attack, and because of his condition, he's not getting any smaller. 'He's putting on weight. It doesn't matter what we do. So the doctors are doing it to give him a better, longer life, and for his health.' The TV personality added: 'The good thing about starting him on the drug is, if it has any effect, you can stop it because you do it weekly. We've tried food, he's had dieticians, it's just the way he is. 'They want to try him on it for at least one or two years, which is a long time, but they'll control what level he needs then up it as they assess it.' It comes only a week after Katie shared a loving tribute to Harvey to mark his 23rd birthday, with series of throwback snaps of them together. Among them was 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. Harvey's biological father is former footballer Dwight York, who briefly dated Katie in 2001, breaking up soon after Katie fell pregnant with her eldest child. The ex premier league star denied he was the father, until a DNA test proved his paternity. Katie previously claimed that Dwight has barely seen Harvey since he was born, saying: 'I think he's seen Harvey about nine times in his life.' She claimed: 'I don't think he liked it that I was with Pete [Andre] before adding: 'I don't know whether it's because he couldn't have me or Harv, to this day I don't know. 'I've tried to send him pictures of Harvey on Instagram, Harvey playing the piano, he just ignores everything. He doesn't want to know. But the door is always open, always.' 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 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?
