Katie Price has issued a moving plea to Harvey’s dad Dwight Yorke to get in contact.
She recently accused former footballer Dwight of failing to reach out after their son and Katie’s eldest Harvey was rushed to hospital last week.
Harvey, 18 – who suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome, is autistic and partially blind – was taken into intensive care after an ambulance took him to the hospital for severe chest pains and a spiked temperature.
He had been struggling to breathe, and there were reports he could be at risk of organ failure.

Thankfully, Harvey’s now been moved out of intensive care and is on the road to recovery.
And while visiting hours were kept down amid the coronavirus crisis, Katie spoke with Harvey on FaceTime and made sure he was aware of the huge outpouring of fan love and support.
But Dwight – who Harvey hasn’t seen since he was a toddler – hasn’t given her a call, she alleged.

Now she’s claimed that Dwight should feel compelled to reach out “as a human being with feelings.”
Speaking with New magazine, the former glamour model said: “Whether you want to be in your son’s life or not, you still created him and he’s still your son.
“If you know your son is in intensive care and there’s a chance he could die, as a human being with feelings you should get in contact.”

Daily Star Online has reached out to reps for Dwight for comment.
Dwight had denied Harvey was his until a 2002 paternity test proved him wrong.
Over the years, Katie’s publicly urged him to have a relationship with Harvey.
Last year, she said: “What I would like to do is turn up to his dad’s place – Dwight Yorke’s – ring on the doorbell and be there with Harvey, for him to see Harvey.

“That’s what I would like to do and I will do that. I think Dwight should start entering Harvey’s life. It’s been years.
“Harvey was four when he last saw him.”
In 2018, Katie insisted that the opportunity was open to Dwight to get involved in Harvey’s life.
She shared a string of adorable baby snaps of Harvey, writing: “Harv as a baby just found these pics. I am so proud of the person he has become.
“For any of my followers bringing up a child with complex needs I admire you.
“It’s not easy but it’s totally worth it. To who has never been there for him just remember it’s never too late.
“The door is always open…”
