Katie Price gives tour of Harvey's house and shows damage after he rugby-tackled wall

Katie Price invited her fans to see inside her son Harvey's house in her latest YouTube video.

Harvey - who has Prader-Willi Syndrome, an underactive thyroid, diabetes, is autistic and partially blind - is living away from her in preparation for his move to a residential college, after turning 18 last year.

Glamour model Kate has previously shown off the pad, after she decorated it ready for Harvey to move into at the start of 2020, but shared with her supporters that the place is in need of re-plastering as Harvey has damaged several of the walls inside.

Katie explained that Harvey lashes out in frustration due to his disabilities before showing how parts of the walls had been bashed so hard that pipes were exposed, as well as parts of fibreglass and insulation.

The mother-of-five began the tour by showing that Harvey had ripped off a cupboard door but told him he was not in trouble as she explained to the camera how his moments of anger are his way of dealing with pent-up emotions.

When she asked him what happened he told he that he "banged his head on it".

Katie then led the camera to the hallway and pointed out a large hole before explaining: "It looks like he rugby tackled the wall here."

"Is that a rugby tackle to the wall?" she quizzed Harvey.

Katie then showed more damage in the downstairs bathroom before telling that she plans to get the entire property re-done when he moves out - so that it is exactly like it was before Harvey moved in.

The Page 3 icon then went upstairs to show the upstairs bathroom before walking into Harvey's room where the wardrobe door had been torn off.

Katie said that Harvey's bed is covered in waterproof bed linen as he often wets the bed and confessed that she is "always changing his sheets".

The star then spoke from her heart as she admitted that looking after Harvey could be a struggle at times but told that she would not have it any other way as she "loves her son".

Harvey's abode is a three-bedroom home just a stone’s throw away from his mum's place.

When Harvey moved in Katie shared that she has installed cameras in every room in a bid to keep a close eye on him in case of emergencies.

Katie opened up about being Harvey's carer in BBC documentary Katie Price : Harvey And Me.

In one scene Katie spoke on Harvey reaching adulthood and the decisions she is forced to make.

As she watched him open his cards on his 18th birthday, Katie reflected: "Things change when you're 18 for anyone. You become an adult. Whereas for Harvey he's got complex needs."

She then took her son's arm and asked if he was 'excited' to look at a college as they sit in the car together.

After looking around the building, Katie spoke to the founder of the UK Autism Charity, Anna Kennedy, who warned Katie that if the placement wasn't right for Harvey it could impact his mental health and wellbeing.

"I've got to let Harvey have the best shot at life," Katie explained to the camera.

"As long as you're happy I am happy," she was later seen telling her eldest child.

"Exactly baby," Harvey sweetly responded.
