Lads mag star Katie Price has opened up about fears that her first-born, Harvey, is going to become gravely ill as he can’t stop his “obsession” with food.
Harvey, 18, has piled on almost two stone in the past two months, meaning his weight is close to 29 stone.
Katie, 42, has revealed that Harvey “gets angry” if he doesn’t get food, which has seen him punch holes in the walls of her family home.
The businesswoman recently pleaded with her social media followers to help find gym equipment for her son, in a desperate bid to help change his lifestyle.

Mum-of-five Katie believes that his sudden urges will see Harvey die at a young age.
She says that his troubled relationship with food stems from his disability, with his desire for food being caused by Prader-Willi Syndrome.
“Every time I feed him, it’s killing him, even though it makes him happy, it’s cruel of me to do it,” she told The Sun.

Katie went on to say: “He needs to lose weight or he’ll end up dead, he doesn’t deserve that, I don’t want to lose him.
“He’s only 18, he’s got his whole life ahead of him, I will do anything to help.”

He also walks downstairs during the middle of the night in order to eat what he can lay his hands on.
The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! pin-up has now been forced to padlock the kitchen fridge and cupboards in a bid to stop his desperate attempts of finding food.
Katie, who is currently recuperating from a freak accident which saw her break both of her feet, has previously said she tells Harvey that “he’ll die” if he continues.
Sadly, Harvey replies: “No, don’t be silly, Mummy’s only joking.”
The former model has also spoken about the dilemma she faces purchasing clothes for the teen, with only two websites stocking 7XL sizes.
Harvey was rushed to hospital back in July after suffering breathing difficulties and a high temperature, Katie was told that he was at risk of suffering from organ failure as well as being placed in a coma.
