Katie Price Says Son Harvey’s Behaviour Has Worsened After Distressing Home Incident

Uncertainty over a Littlehampton placement is prompting Price to seek in-home carers to reduce the distress caused by moves between home and supported living.

Overview

  • Price told her podcast that during a recent visit her 24-year-old son smashed a kitchen door, threw a bench and broke a window, and she said his behaviour is becoming harder to manage.
  • Harvey lives with complex conditions reported as autism, Prader-Willi syndrome and septo-optic dysplasia that require round-the-clock support and make transitions between settings especially traumatic for him.
  • Katie said she is waiting for confirmation of a placement in Littlehampton and is exploring interim options, including arranging carers so Harvey can spend more time at her home.
  • Over the Father's Day weekend Price posted on Instagram accusing Harvey’s father Dwight Yorke of 'disowning' their son; media outlets report Yorke’s representatives declined to comment and contact between them is disputed.
  • Family carers and care providers face immediate pressure from repeated short stays and transfers, which Price says worsen Harvey’s distress and may force changes to his long-term support arrangements.
