Katie Price has shared her fears as her son Harvey faces a worrying escalation in his battle with obesity. The 46-year-old TV personality and mother of five has watched on as Harvey's weight soared to perilous heights. Harvey, 22, was born from her previous relationship with ex-footballer Dwight Yorke, who notoriously snubbed both Katie and his son post their early 2000s fling. Throughout his life, Harvey has faced numerous health challenges including Prader-Willi syndrome, leading to uncontrollable appetite.

Desperate to aid in her sons fight against his critical weight issue, Katie was left grappling with disappointment after a recent check-up revealed a substantial gain. Turning to her social media followers over the weekend, she divulged that Harveys weight is nearing a shocking 30 stone. On Snapchat, the OnlyFans star shared her anguish: "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.", reports the Mirror.

She continued, stressing the severe risk to her son's well-being: "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 lamented: "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."

Additionally, she expressed: "So sad, obesity and his condition is sad, it's sad to see someone go through it and he doesn't understand."

Earlier in the year, Katie disclosed her decision to use weight loss injections as a means to assist Harvey in managing his weight. She has mentioned the medication Mounjaro - which includes an active substance called tirzepatide known for its appetite-suppressing properties.

Katie had previously shared with The Sun about Harvey's weight and health challenges: "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."
