Harvey Price is at a ‘life-threatening’ weight, according to his Mum Katie, with the glamour model taking to social media to share her fears for his eldest son and his wellbeing
Katie Price has admitted she is ‘heartbroken’ for her eldest son, with Harvey now reaching “dangerous levels” of obesity.
Glamour model Katie Price and her family have been open about 22-year-old Harvey Price’s struggle with his health. The internet’s favourite cheeky chap lives with Prader-Willi syndrome, vision impairing septo-optic dysplasia, and autism.
But Harvey’s health appears to be reaching a critical level, according to his media personality mum. Katie has shared her heartbreak over Harvey’s uncontrollable weight, caused by his Prader-Willi Syndrome that leaves him with a constant feeling of hunger.
Sharing her concerns with her loyal following on social media, Katie explained that her son has reached almost 30 stone.
Speaking on Snapchat, the mother-of-five 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 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 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.
“So sad, obesity and his condition is sad, it’s sad to see someone go through it and he doesn’t understand.”
Earlier this year, Katie revealed weight loss jabs were the latest medical tool doctors were using to try and help Harvey control his weight. The 46-year-old told The Sun : “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.”
