Katie Price has emotionally revealed that she had to make a tough decision about her son Harvey — and fans are both heartbroken and stunned. The former glamour model and reality TV star, 47, shared a candid moment on Snapchat, telling followers that she sent Harvey, 23, back to his residential college in Cheltenham a day earlier than planned after a distressing incident at home.

Harvey, who is blind, autistic, and lives with Prader-Willi syndrome and septo-optic dysplasia, usually splits time between college and home with Katie. But things took a difficult turn when he suddenly smashed her £3,000 TV early in the morning.
In a Snapchat video titled “Can’t believe he’s done this”, Katie recorded Harvey shortly after the incident, asking: “What has Mummy just heard?” to which he replied, “Smashing the TV.”

Katie then told him: “You were going to college tomorrow to get some new meds… but now, when are you going? You’re going now.”
Harvey responded with: “Oh God!” as Katie sighed, saying: “Because now Mummy’s got to get a new TV.” Despite her clear frustration, she added, “Sad. You’ve been so good, Harve.” Harvey promised, “I won’t do it again,” and apologized to his mum.
Katie later posted another clip showing the shattered TV, captioned: “Send help.” Speaking to the camera, she said: “So it’s nearly half six in the morning. I could hear banging, and Harvey decided to go for the TV. I can see the handprints there.
In a tired update later that morning, she said: “I’m knackered. I am so tired.” Her boyfriend JJ Slater had taken Harvey back to college, while she dealt with the aftermath. “I’ve come back to bed after clearing up all the mess in the kitchen. That boy is unbelievable – and now I have to find another TV,” she added wearily.
Katie has been open about Harvey’s lifelong medical challenges. Alongside Prader-Willi syndrome and autism, he’s battled serious weight issues. In April, she admitted on her podcast The Katie Price Show that he’s at risk of a heart attack after his weight climbed to nearly 30 stone.
“Not knowing what will happen to Harvey next… that’s obviously a massive worry for me,” she shared. “He won’t have a long life if he keeps putting on more and more weight. But we’re doing something about it with the doctors.”
Despite the heartbreak, Katie continues to show resilience and love as she navigates life as Harvey’s devoted mum — even in the most trying moments.
