Harvey Price offered dream opportunity after eye-opening documentary with mum Katie

Network Rail may be making a dream come true for Harvey Price.

Last night's Katie Price : Harvey & Me saw the teen indulge one of his two greatest passions (the other being frogs) as mum Katie took his to a nearby station to watch the locomotives go by.

The documentary followed Katie and Harvey at a seminal point in his life - heading off to college as he turns 18.

The 18-year-old has Prader-Willi Syndrome, is autistic and partially blind, and was born with Septo-optic Dysplasia - which affects around one in every 10,000 births.

And after seeing getting a glimpse at Harvey's charming day-today personality and Katie's hard work as a mum, Network Rail have said they'd welcome Harvey when it's safe to do so.

Media Relations Manager Tracy O'Brien told Metro : "We, Network Rail, would be happy to arrange for Harvey to make an announcement at one of the Network Rail managed stations when it is safe to do so."

Katie's since thanked fans for the flood of positivity coming their way since the doc aired.

"I wanted to say thank you so much to @bbcone @Minnow_Films and the general public for all your support in the lead up to #HarveyandMe and the incredible feedback tonight," she tweeted.

"This really has been such an amazing journey for Harvey and myself, and I want to continue the conversation surrounding the difficulties that parents of children with complex needs face, and help parents going through a similar situation. Thank you all so much x."

Many fans admitted they didn't realise how much Katie does as Harvey's mum, and some shared that they'd discovered "all new respect" for her.
