Katie Price's fiancé Carl Woods has hit back at critics who've questioned why her son Harvey isn't in their family photos.
The former glamour model is currently on her fourth holiday abroad in just two months, and her trips haven't come without criticism.
The 43-year-old star is currently in St. Lucia with her husband-to-be Carl Woods as well as her daughter Princess, 14, who she shares with ex Peter Andre, and son Harvey, 19, whose dad is Dwight Yorke.
Fans have been puzzled by Harvey's lack of appearance in the photos, but Carl has defended Harvey's absence.
"Having autism, it means you are nervous of new environments," Carl said as he hit back at the Twitter trolls.
"Therefore Harvey likes to stay in his safe place. This means he likes being in his own room with his own pool which he has (we all stay in his room to have room service)."
Harvey has appeared in a couple of photos and videos during their holiday away, including one where the family are boarding a helicopter and a second snap in the swimming pool alongside his mum Katie and sister Princess.
The pair headed off on their exotic getaway on a private helicopter flight and Carl captured the moment an excited Harvey boarded the aircraft.
"Harv what do you reckon, on a helicopter?” he asked Harvey, who said: "Yes!"
"I bet you can't wait!" Carl added in the Instagram stories clip.
In the video, Katie can be seen guiding her son - who has septo-optic dysplasia, autism and Prader-Willi syndrome - onto the helicopter as she grabbed his T-shirt and helped him on the flight.
Harvey recently graduated from school and will be heading to college soon.
"Words cannot describe how proud I am of my son @officialmrharveyprice for his graduation he has come so far and further than any doctor or my family thought," she wrote in the post.
"He is now 19 ready to go to college for his next chapter in life.
"He makes me so proud and is a massive credit to myself knowing how well I’ve done bringing him up on my own."
Katie described Harvey as her "absolute life soul and joy" as she shared another snap of him with his certificate.
"Harvey so happy with his certificate for graduating," she shared.
"He is just so amazing my absolute life soul and joy."
Katie and Harvey are releasing a book later this year, where they discuss their mother son relationship.
She wrote about the tome: "Sharing our story I hope to bring love, encouragement and support.
"I want to educate parents and others, with a few good belly laughs, by giving an insight into what my world with Harvey is like behind closed doors. I’ll take you away from showbiz thrills and spills and into my home, into my life as a parent with a child of complex needs and disabilities.
"Harvey has taught me to be a better person, mother and to fight for what is right, for those especially who have until now not had a voice to be heard."
