Katie Price reveals Harvey now weighs almost 29 stone as she begs fans for gym equipment so he can exercise in lockdown

KATIE Price has told fans her son Harvey now weighs nearly 29 stone as she appealed for help finding him gym equipment.

The 42-year-old reality star posted a message on the eve of the lockdown in England, which will force gyms to close, saying: “I have to make sure he can exercise at home.”

She wrote: “Can anybody help I’m looking to rent a treadmill and rowing machine for Harvey that can take his weight – 28 and a half stone.

“Through lockdown I have to make sure he can exercise at home, please help, DM me. 💕.”

Harvey, 18, has the rare genetic condition Prader-Willi syndrome, which can cause weight gain and behavioural problems, and is also partially blind and on the autistic spectrum.

Earlier this year the 6ft lad was rushed to hospital in an ambulance with breathing problems after his temperature shot up  to a dangerously high 42 degrees.

In the wake of the scare, Katie started Harvey on a “new regime” of exercise to help reduce his weight.

However, strict lockdown rules come into force at midnight tonight in a bid to curb the spread of coronavirus in England.

Under new demands by the government, gyms will be forced to close their doors – just three months after they were allowed to welcome people back.

Meanwhile, Katie and boyfriend Carl Woods, 32, have been on a long break in the Maldives, today posting a video of them in bed together.

Sharing a picture of the pair of them at their luxury hotel, she wrote: “In this big comfy bed enjoyed the sun had a massage and now chillaxing watching Netflix.”

It came after Katie shared a picture of her tanned face, writing: “🏝bronzed and ready to come home last few days @radissonbluresortmaldives then back to my babies ❤️❤️.”

While she has been away, the star’s eldest children Princess, 13, and Junior, 15, have been away with their dad Peter Andre in Cyprus.
