Katie Price was beaming with joy as her son Harvey broke a Guinness World Record for the longest drawing of a train.
As part of Mencap’s Learning Disability Week, the 21-year-old spent four weeks drawing a 21.3 metre-long picture of his favourite train.
Proudly holding up her eldest son’s certificate, the former glamour model wrapped her arm around Harvey, who has autism, Prader-Willi syndrome and septo-optic dysplasia.

Harvey, who now lives at the National Star College in Gloucestershire, is a keen artist and has a love for trains, with his favourite being the Gatwick Express.
Adjudicators from Guinness World Records travelled to the college and unrolled the drawing in a courtyard to measure it, confirming Harvey had set the new record.

Harvey, who’s biological father is ex-footballer Dwight Yorke, is one of several ‘Mencap myth busters’ who want to campaign for change and challenge the misconceptions about learning disability.
The I’m A Celeb star gushed: “I’m absolutely thrilled for Harvey. I can’t believe he’s got his own Guinness World Record. It’s fantastic.
“He’s worked so hard on completing his drawing and I think he’s done amazingly well.”

“We officially have a Guinness World Record holder in the family and everyone is so happy for him.”
Louise Adams, Harvey’s art tutor, added: “Harvey worked incredibly hard on this 21-metre train.
“It was a very physical challenge but Harvey demonstrated what a focused young man he is with an impeccable knowledge of trains.
“We are very proud of Harvey for what he has achieved throughout this challenge.”

Harvey’s new record was achieved under the Guinness World Records impairments initiative, which has been developed alongside Mencap and allows adjustments to be made to better include people with disabilities.
Alison Pike from Mencap said: “Harvey is continuing to bust myths and preconceptions about what it means to live life with a learning disability, and we are delighted that his passion for trains has led to him being a world record breaker.
“We’re looking forward to continuing our work with Guinness World Records to encourage more people with a learning disability to take on a world class challenge. Who knows what weird and wonderful record could be set next.”
