Katie Price, a former glamour model, has revealed that her 22-year-old son Harvey, who weighs close to 30 stone, is seriously at risk of a heart attack.
Katie Price has opened up about the growing health crisis facing her eldest son, Harvey, revealing that his weight has reached a dangerous tipping point. At 30 stone, the 22-year-old is now at serious risk of a heart attack – a terrifying possibility that has left Katie feeling overwhelmed and deeply concerned for his future.
Speaking candidly on The Katie Price Show, her podcast co-hosted with sister Sophie, the mum-of-five didn’t hold back about the reality of their situation. “He’s just under 30st and that’s huge,” she said. “He’s on the verge of a heart attack. He won’t have a long life if he carries on putting more and more weight on.”
Katie, 49, stated that they are now collaborating with medical professionals to change the situation. She continued, “We’re doing something about it with the doctors,” noting that they are still waiting to start receiving treatment with Mounjaro, a weight-loss medication.
However, Harvey’s complicated medical requirements and current prescriptions have made it challenging to advance quickly. Things aren’t as simple for him because of his complex needs and medications, she admitted.
Katie continues to be in stead of her love and admiration for Harvey despite the fear and difficulties. She sincerely said, “I love my Harvey Price.” Harvey is a hard work, even if I would like to call it that. It is very satisfying.
Looking to the future with hope, she added: “I can’t imagine Harvey in two years when he’s started Mounjaro and has lost a lot of weight.” Over the weekend, Katie her heartbreak over the fact her eldest child, Harvey, has seen his weight increase to dangerous levels.
When she and football player Dwight Yorke, 53, brutally rejected Katie and his son following their romance in the early 1990s, she had conceived him. With first husband Peter Andre, 52, Katie welcomed son Junior, 19, and daughter Princess, 17, respectively.
She is also mum to son Jett, 11, and daughter Bunny, 10, who she shares with former husband Kieran Hayler, 38 – who was the third Mr Price from 2013 until 2021. Throughout his life, Harvey has battled health issues – including a condition called Prader-Willi syndrome, which provokes a constant feeling of hunger.
Katie has been trying to help Harvey lose weight as she fears he has reached a danger level of overweight – but has been left saddened by the results of a recent weigh-in. Taking to social media over the weekend, Katie shared that Harvey is now almost 30 stone.
The OnlyFans content creator said, “I’m so heartbroken and gutted that his weight is just going up,” in a statement made on Snapchat. I recently googled it in stone, and 188 kg is only a few kilograms shy of being 30. I’m still waiting for the doctors to start treating me after I start the mounjaro’s journey to a healthy life because it’s so life-threatening right now.
She continued, “It’s so sad that his quality of life is so poor right now because he can’t really do much.” I love him and I’m going to help him through this because he’s at high risk of having a heart attack, he struggles to put his trainers on, or he struggles to walk anywhere.
She continued, “She’s so sad, obesity and his condition is sad, and he doesn’t understand it.” In an effort to help Harvey control his weight, Katie revealed earlier this year that she had turned to weight-loss jabs. She made reference to the drug Mounjaro, which has a compound known to help people lose weight called tirzepatide.
Harvey’s weight and health issues are addressed by Katie’s previous statement to The Sun: “If it has any effect, you can stop it because you do it weekly.
He has had dietitians, and we have tried food, he said. Additionally, he is receiving a lot of medication that won’t hurt him. They will determine his level of need and progress as they go about it for at least one or two years, which is a long time.
