Heartbroken Katie Price has revealed her son Harvey has been hospitalised again because he is suffering from ear problems after cracking his head on some glass.
The former glamour model, 45, admitted she’s been going back and forth to the hospital to visit Harvey, 21, who has said he ‘wants to come home.’
Chatting to her younger sister Sophie on The Katie Price Show, Katie said: ‘I am going to see Harvey today. He is so not well with his ear.’
‘Oh no that’s been going on for ages,’ replied Sophie.
The media personality previously got candid with her fans about the challenges of raising Harvey – who is blind, autistic, has septo-optic dysplasia and a learning disability.

Harvey – whose Katie shares with Dwight Yorke – was also diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder – which only 2,000 people in the UK have.
Katie also revealed that her son headbutted the car window – causing him an open crack on his head which has caused him to suffer from an ear complaint.
‘He cracked his head open again. He’s got hospital on Monday,’ she explained.
‘I am going to see him, he keeps saying, “mummy come and see me”. And then when I go he says “can you take me home”.
‘He wants to come home. So in a week, when I am back, I will bring him home for a few days.’
The star continued: ‘He misses me, he needs his mum cuddle, you know when you don’t feel well.’
Katie also shares son Junior, 17, and Princess, 16, with famous singer Peter Andre.
Earlier on Thursday, The Mysterious Girl singer and his wife Emily have announced that they are expecting their third child together.

The singer, 50, and the NHS doctor, 33, revealed the happy news on their Instagram pages, posting ultrasound photos as they gushed about the ‘new addition to our family in 2024’.
‘We are delighted to share the news with you all. A new addition to our family in 2024 The kids are so excited. So are we,’ the couple wrote.
Peter shares two children, Amelia, 10, and Theo, six, with medic Emily.
Their celebrity pals flooding their comments with well wishes and several with surprise, with Amanda Holden writing: ‘Omg’ and Lizzie Cundy adding: ‘What!! Another?? Wow!!!’
However, there were several clues that the couple were expecting ahead of their announcement.
Emily frequently gives her followers updates into her life on social media, but has been careful in the last few months to avoid showing her tummy.
She lasted posted a full-length shot at the start of July during a visit to Hampton Court Palace.
Since then she has kept her stomach hidden from view using clever camera angles and tricks.
For one stunning selfie post, Emily cropped her bottom half out of frame, while in a photo with Peter, she posed behind him while leaning over his shoulder.
She shared a family photo dump in August from a Bristol getaway, with her back to the camera, and used the same trick in another post last week from Millie’s gymnastics competition.
Another hint that the pair were planning to add to their brood was Emily revealing in October last year that they had not yet reached their ‘dream’ number of kids.
Speaking to HELLO!, she said she has always wanted three kids, while Pete has always wanted five.
Emily has two children, while Peter has two more from his previous marriage, meaning if they added another member to their family, they’d both reach their respective dream numbers of kids.
She revealed her and Peter had not discussed this with each other until a few months before, and were pleasantly surprised to see their dreams aligned.

She also said that if the pair were to have a third baby, it would be planned out, as she’s a ‘planner.’
Peter has previously seemed reluctant to have another baby however, admitting that he frequently flips back on forth on the topic.
He admitted in his New! Magazine column: ‘I keep changing my mind about wanting more kids and right now, I’m back to saying no more.
‘Sometimes I think I want another one because I love the baby stage, but the kids themselves will have kids one day so you’re going to have the baby stage all over again – just without the sleepless nights.’
And on Loose Women, he voiced his reservations again saying: ‘I always said to Emily, you might want more kids, but don’t forget our kids will grow older and maybe one of them will bring us children.’
Peter admitted that his eldest child Junior at the time was also skeptical when it comes to having more siblings, as there would be at least a 16-year age gap between the teenager and a new little brother or sister.
He explained: ‘I understand what he meant about the age gap, but I said to him there’d be 16 years between [him and a] new child.
‘I said to him, my brother Andrew – who has sadly passed – and I were 16 years [apart]. He was my best friend. My other brothers know this, but he was my favourite brother. I looked up to him. I don’t really think it matters.’
But Peter has also ruled out having more babies before and then changed his mind, saying after the birth of Theo: ‘All of a sudden I said I wanted another baby.
‘It’s weird as I always said I don’t want to be changing nappies at 50, like Simon Cowell.’
And Peter has definitely changed his tune again in recent years while expressing how much he loves the idea of having a huge family.
In 2020, he even said the couple had agreed to have two more children within the next three years.
He told how he’s always wanted more children but Emily had been uncertain, but then she suddenly dropped the bombshell that she now wants two more kids.
He told The Sun: ‘Here I was trying to get my head around the thought of having one more child but then Emily throws a bombshell on me of having two more children.
‘So now I’m really confused about what she wants. Before it was a definite no no, but now there’s a big possibility.’
He also said: ‘A baby would be amazing. We keep saying yes, we keep saying no. I think maybe!’
Then in July this year, he hinted at his future family plans during a candid chat on Vicky Pattison’s The Secret To podcast.

‘Children… I was like, when I get to 50 I’m done and then I find myself having conversations with [Emily] going, “Yeah you know, if we did have another child, where would we put Junior?”‘.
He went on: ‘I can’t even believe we have those conversations and that makes me think that I just don’t know, it’s just one of those things. It’s just weird that we even have those conversations, so I don’t know’.
Before adding: ‘Listen, us guys can wishful think all we like, right, but it’s going to be up to her’.
