Katie Price’s pain as driving ban means she can’t visit Harvey at residential college as he calls to say he misses her
KATIE Price shared her pain that her driving ban means she can’t whizz off and visit oldest son Harvey at his residential college when he calls to say he misses her.
The 43-year-old star admitted that him being so far from home is “hard” during an appearance on Good Morning Britain with her rarely-seen sister Sophie.
Susanna Reid asked how 19-year-old Harvey is doing, with Katie replying: “Harvey’s in Cheltenham now, he keeps ringing me saying, ‘Mummy I miss you, I need your kisses and cuddles’, so it is quite hard.
“Because obviously I don’t get my licence back until December, so I can’t just whizz in the car down there and it’s not close.”
The proud mum went on: “But he’s doing Autism’s Got Talent on Sunday where he’s playing the keyboard, so I’ve told him to start learning a tune.”
The Sun revealed that Harvey had been accepted into £350,000-a-year National Star college last month, the same school Katie was shown falling in love with during a visit on their .
It is three hours away from Katie’s home with the college giving him the opportunity to live more independently and gain more skills.
Katie expected to get her driving licence back in April, but was banned for a further six months following an admin bungle.
The mother-of-five served an 18-month disqualification after withholding the identity of the driver of her pink Range Rover during a crash.
When she rang the DVLA to arrange her new licence earlier this year she was told to serve another six months due to totting up another offence for speeding.
However, it is believed the forms Katie needed to fill out after the conviction were sent to an old address.
Katie has been banned from driving six times; she was banned for six months for totting up points in 2018, and has also been disqualified for being drunk in charge of a car.
The mother-of-five spent six months visiting colleges for teens with autism and learning difficulties to ensure that Harvey went to the right school for his needs.
Harvey was born with ADHD, autism, genetic condition Prader-Willi Syndrome, and septo-optic dysplasia, which causes blindness.
She previously told us: “It’s so upsetting to think I won’t see him every day but this is the best thing for Harvey and we have to think positively because I don’t want him to think I’m just getting rid of him.”
