Katie Price praised by This Morning viewers as she discusses latest with Harvey and debuts new hair look

Katie Price has been praised by This Morning viewers as she discussed the latest on son Harvey.

The former glamour model appeared on the ITV show ahead of her BBC documentary airing on Monday night.

Katie Price: Harvey and Me follows Katie's journey as she places Harvey into a residential college.

The 18-year-old suffers from partial blindness, Prader-Willi syndrome, autism, and learning and behavioural difficulties, as a result of a rare genetic disorder.

Katie, who is mum to five children, explained to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that she was looking for a 52-week placement for her eldest child to give him the option of visiting home or socialising if he makes new friends, "just to be a man basically," she added.

The 42-year-old explained: "There's lots of colleges but there's a checklist basically. You check off what needs he has got but when I do that with Harvey, it only dwindles it down to around four colleges.

"So it gets really difficult."

Viewers rushed to social media to praise Katie.

"Katie's the best mum to Harvey.. you're doing the right thing for him for sure, he'll love it #ThisMorning," wrote one.

Another said: "Looking forward to Harvey & Me. You can have a lot of opinions about Katie Price but she is a fantastic mother to Harvey. #ThisMorning."

"#ThisMorning fair play to a Katie Price, she’s really has done the best for her son Harvey, god love him," a third added.

A fourth said: "Thank you Katie for your advice my boy turns 18 next year. Thank you for raising awareness."

"Aww Katie looks nice her hairstyle suits her," another commented.
