Harvey Price is going from college into “independent living,” his mum Katie has revealed.

Katie, 47, last year said she was forced to withdraw her eldest son from the £350,000-a-year college because the local authority cut reportedly his funding, deeming he had “no healthcare issues”. This is despite Harvey’s ADHD, autism, genetic condition Prader-Willi Syndrome, and septo-optic dysplasia, which causes blindness. Katie, who came third in I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2004, appealed against the decision.

Now, Harvey is going “into the real world,” Jordan has confirmed. Speaking on the Katie Price Show podcast, the former model said: “Harvey is doing the countdown for his new place. He’s got his leavers ceremony where they give out certificates and then it’s the ‘real world’ Mr Harvey Price.”

The mum of five, who shares Harvey with former Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke, had previously told how her son “got bored” at the residential college and often wanted to come home.

However, Harvey is now gearing up for a change of scenery, with temporary housing in Southampton ready for September and then a visit to his mother in October.

He has a temporary job in Southampton, according to me. There are five additional adults present. Then he moves to Littlehampton, which will be closer to being, in October. The mother of five continued, “He’s going from college to independent living.”

Harvey’s Prader-Willi Syndrome is a complex condition which causes obesity and learning difficulties. He is also autistic and partially blind. Prader-Willi Syndrome is very rare, with the NHS estimating that it affects “no more than one in every 15,000 children born in England”.

Katie, who has been living in Horsham, West Sussex, once claimed that because Harv is too difficult, they have changed management and said they won’t be able to care for him because he’s been known to be. So I now need to find a new job for him, which means more drama, then.

She continued, “We worked months and months for that, and he was told four and a half weeks prior that he couldn’t go there, and Harvey has been doing the countdown.”
