Katie Price gushes over her ‘unbreakable bond’ with son Harvey as she reveals release date for their BBC documentary
KATIE Price will star in an upcoming BBC documentary with disabled son Harvey.
Katie, 42, is set to open up about raising the 18-year-old, who has Septic Optic Dysplasia meaning he has complex hormone dysfunctions in the brain and is also partially blind and on the autistic spectrum.
The star gushed over her "unbreakable bond" with her eldest child as she revealed the release date for the programme which will air on BBC iPlayer later this month.
She said on Instagram: "Together we have built our private world, a bond between mother and son which goes deeper than most – we are unbreakable."
The BBC billed the documentary as "a deeply personal one-off film".
They added on Instagram: "@katieprice and Harvey open up about their lives as Harvey turns 18 and decisions need to be made about his future.
"Katie Price: Harvey and Me / Streaming 25 January / BBC iPlayer."
Katie opened up about 29st Harvey's weight gain last year.
His obsession with food is linked to his disabilities — which make him always feels hungry.
She has been forced to padlock the family fridge to stop him stealing frozen pizzas out of the freezer and eating them raw, and also has to lock the kitchen cupboards.
Doctors have warned that the battle to keep Harvey alive is "critical" — as he could drop dead from a heart attack if he doesn't lose weight urgently.

Katie has now transformed a room in boyfriend Carl Wood's house into a gym for Harvey to exercise.
The teen also suffers from behavioural problems and his mum said last year: "I've had to re-plaster my walls."
She explained Harvey breaks holes in the wall with his head and 'smashes things' if she stops him from eating.
She said: "It’s a cruel and horrible illness where he feels hungry all the time — and if he doesn’t get food he gets angry. It’s hard work."
