Katie Price is set to front her own autism-only chat show following the success of her BBC documentary with Harvey
KATIE Price is plotting her own autism-only chat show following the success of her documentary that delved into her relationship with disabled son Harvey.
The star, 42, has discussed plans to reunite with friend and autism campaigner Anna Kennedy OBE, who was seen giving her advice on residential colleges for Harvey in the BBC film, for an online series exclusively featuring guests on the spectrum.
Anna, who is a founder of the Autism's Got Talent showcase, told The Sun: "We've been chatting about more projects, because now she's got the taste for wanting to do more to help raise awareness of autism acceptance and disability.
"We're talking about doing something on her YouTube channel going live possibly as soon as next month.
"There's going to be myself, there's going to be Katie and we're going to invite an autistic adult on every month, see how it goes.
"People said we make a good team and 'you can see she's comfortable around you'."
Last week, Katie signed and supported Anna's petition to help parents secure care for their autistic children after they die.
Sharing on her Instagram story, Katie encouraged her 2.4 million followers to "make a difference" by signing.
The petition set up by Anna, who has two autistic sons, details how the government is failing to provide "future care plans" for autistic children after their parents have passed away.
The pals have collaborated before, with Harvey - who has severe autism, a rare complex genetic condition called Prader-Willi syndrome and is partially blind - posing up for Anna's Gives Us A Break! antibullying campaign.
He was also a participant in the Autism's Got Talent roadshow in St Ives, Cornwall in 2019, during which he performed Bruce Springsteen's When The Saints Go Marching In on keyboard.
Katie previously spoke out against celebrities with autistic children for "hiding them away" and ";not showing" what they are really like.
The star said she was determined to use her status to do good - and hopes disabled son Harvey will follow in her footsteps.
She told : "There are other celebrities with kids with autism and stuff, but you don’t really hear about it… there’s a lot of kids with disabilities and they hide away and don’t want to be seen out and don’t like people staring.
"But I’d like to be an ambassador with Harvey to show this and how good it is - it’s not a bad thing to have disabilities and hopefully people can learn.

"Being a celebrity sometimes you can achieve things that are good things – the documentary is one, making online abuse a criminal offence is another good thing.
"So as much as people knock me, they do have to give me credit. I’m not a bad person and I do try and do things for good as well."
Katie recently revealed Harvey's new home across the road from her own house, where he will learn to live independently before he moves to a residential college in September.
