Katie Price shared her horrific birth with her first child Harvey which left her writing in pain and forced her mum to “hold her down like a hostage”.
On the latest episode of her podcast The Katie Price Show – which she co-hosts with her sister Sophie – the pair shared their traumatising birthing stories. As they looked back across their pregnancies, the brunette beauty opened up about her struggles with her first born.
In 2002, the former glamour model gave birth to her first child – who she shares with Dwight Yorke – at the age of 24 with the support of her mum Amy and her best friend at the time Sally. But things didn’t go quite as smoothly as she had hoped when her first born was two and a half weeks overdue.

She told listeners how she had to be induced and her waters manually broken because of how far along she was. The mum-of-five explained: “They said they’re gonna have to break my waters.

“It was like, I mean, all I can say is it was like a knitting need hook and they were literally going pull and pop. When I say I thought my eyeballs were gonna come out of my eyes like gobstoppers, I’m not joking.
“I remember looking at mum and Sally as if they were holding me down as a hostage because you know I can’t bear anything like that. Oh my God, it hurt. I was looking at mum like, ‘Help me! Help me!’”
Harvey was later diagnosed with septo-optic dysplasia, autism and Prader-Willi syndrome. His doting mum has supported him throughout his life despite his complex needs.

The TV star is also mum to her four younger children. From her first marriage the TV personality shares son Junior, 18, and daughter Princess, 16, with 90s singer Peter Andre.
Katie also shares son Jett, 11 and daughter Bunny, 10, with her ex-husband and actor Kieran Hayler. Despite her difficult pregnancies in the past the Playboy star hasn’t ruled out welcoming a sixth child into their family in the future.
In August 2023, the doting mum revealed she was determined to have a child with her then boyfriend Carl Woods. At the time, the couple suffered one failed IVF attempt in 2022 but that hasn’t put the starlet off.

Reports later claimed that Katie had enlisted a fan to act as her surrogate to help her dreams of a sixth child come true. A source told The Sun at the time: “Katie’s signed up a fan of hers to act as a surrogate – this woman has been over to stay at Katie’s house and babysat her kids before.”
Although Carl and Katie finally went their separate ways last autumn, the TV star hasn’t ruled out another Price baby in the future with Mr Right.
