Fans have heaped praise on Katie Price for being such an awesome mum to Harvey.
In fact, viewers have called her “the best mum in the world” for the special bond she has with her 20-year-old son, who is disabled.
Katie, 44, appeared on The One Show to advocate for people with special needs getting full-time employment as she fears Harvey will “never have his dream job” because he needs so much support.

Harvey, whose dad is former footballer Dwight York, lives with Septo-optic Dysplasia, as well as autism and Prader-Willi syndrome, meaning he needs round-the-clock care.
Last year, Harvey joined National Star College in Cheltenham, Essex, a special education institution for students with complex needs.

Though he settled in there, Katie now worries that the next stage of his life – getting a job – may not be possible.
She said: “Like many other young people with a disability he’s finding it difficult making the transition into adulthood – especially when it comes to getting a job.”
During the segment, the former glamour model and Harvey headed to Wakefield, Yorkshire, to learn about the DFN Project Search – a scheme that offers work experience placements to disabled people.

“After meeting the families today I realise that Harvey can get a fulfilling job and hopefully he’ll be able to get the independence he desperately strives for,” Katie said.
Fans were quick to point out that despite Katie’s somewhat chaotic personal life, she is still a great mum to her five kids.
“You can say a lot about Katie Price, but nobody can say she’s not a good mum. In fact, she seems like the best mum in the world with Harvey,” one viewer posted.

“It’s so sweet to see this side of Katie. She is honestly such a good mum and has done so much for Harvey down through the years,” another added.
While someone else tweeted: “Love Katie and Harvey’s relationship!! Good on them both for wanting more from life for him.”
