She shares Junior and Princess with Peter Andre, and the latter two children with former husband Kieran Hayler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Taking to her social media over the weekend, Katie updated her followers as she discovered that Harvey currently weighs almost 30 stone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Harvey, who lives with Prader-Willi syndrome \u2013 a genetic disorder that causes chronic hunger \u2013 has struggled with weight gain for much of his life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">She said: &#8220;I&#8217;m so heartbroken and gutted that his weight is just going up. I just googled it in stones, 188kg is just a few kg off being 30 stone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;It&#8217;s so life-threatening now, I&#8217;m still waiting for the doctors to get back to me starting on the mounjaro and his journey to a healthy life.&#8221; Mounjaro is a prescription drug primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes, that can also be used for weight loss to suppress appetite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Katie added: &#8220;It&#8217;s so sad his quality of life at the moment where he&#8217;s so big, he just can&#8217;t really do much. It\u2019s just another thing I have to deal with because he&#8217;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&#8217;m going to help him through this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_ECR_240425_katiepricesnapchat.jpg\" alt=\"Katie Price\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Katie took to Snapchat over the weekend to share the worrying news(Image: Snapchat\/Katie Price)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">After the health update, Katie has since shared that Harvey found it difficult returning to college after spending two weeks with her during her time in pantomime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Speaking on The Katie Price Show podcast, she said: &#8220;When I took him back to college, it broke my heart. He just so didn\u2019t want to go and I said, &#8216;We have to go back to get your meds Harv&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;As we were getting near it he was going, &#8216;Mum, Harvey so sad, I\u2019m so angry.&#8217; And I\u2019m like, &#8216;Why Harv?\u2019 Obviously I know why. College, I miss mummy. Mummy is the best&#8217;. Then I thought I\u2019d have no car left, he was trying to kick the car door backwards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">She continued: &#8220;I\u2019ve had him for two weeks on tour and I need a bit of a break as well. He\u2019s worse than having a newborn, he\u2019s worse than a toddler, it\u2019s full-on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;So when he moves to the new place, I can\u2019t wait. It\u2019s literally a one-stop train away, he\u2019s a 25-minute drive. I\u2019ll see him all the time, even if he just comes out with me in the car and that, he doesn\u2019t care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The former glamour model also addressed Harvey&#8217;s weight as she worried he won&#8217;t have a &#8220;long life&#8221;, but because of his &#8220;complex needs and medications he\u2019s on, things aren\u2019t as easy.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The star struggled to get Harvey back to college after he spent two weeks with herKatie issued another&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47098,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,77,694,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-47097","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-katie-price","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114393982402258834","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47097","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47097"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47097\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47097"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
