UPDATE: |Katie Price shares ‘heartbreaking’ update on Harvey’s ‘life-threatening’ health battle News

Katie Price has updated fans on her son Harvey’s potentially “life-threatening” health journey

Katie Price has opened up about her growing fears for her son Harvey’s health, revealing that the 22-year-old’s weight has climbed to dangerously high levels.

The mum-of-five, 46, took to Snapchat over the weekend to share her heartbreak, telling fans she was “gutted” after discovering Harvey now weighs almost 30 stone, the Mirror reports.

Harvey, who lives with Prader-Willi syndrome – a genetic disorder that causes chronic hunger – has struggled with weight gain for much of his life.

“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,” the former glamour model said in a video.

“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.”

Mounjaro, the ‘weight loss drug’ Katie mentioned, contains tirzepatide, which can help to suppress appetite.

She added: “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.”

Katie previously told The Sun of Harvey’s weight and health concerns. She said: “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 ­dietitians, it’s just the way he is. And he’s on a lot of medication which the drug won’t affect. 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.”

Harvey was born after Katie’s relationship with with footballer Dwight Yorke, 53, before shw welcomed son Junior, 19, and daughter Princess, 17, with first husband Peter Andre, 52.

Despite facing challenges, Katie remains determined to support Harvey’s health journey, stressing that obesity makes life tough for him.

She concluded: “So sad, obesity and his condition is sad, it’s sad to see someone go through it and he doesn’t understand.”
