Katie, 42, explained that her eldest child had a reaction to the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine caused by the 'complex medication' he's on for his 'complex needs.'

Katie told followers that her boy is clearly on the mend because he was asking for chicken kiev and chips at 4am.

"I wasn't feeling right," he explained to her followers about his trip to hospital.

"The reaction was a really, really high temperature, 39.9 degrees," Katie explained.

"And obviously with Harvey, I have to really keep an eye and I couldn't get his temperature down so I phoned Great Ormond Street and they told me to go to the nearest A&E that's what we did.

"Did all your bloods, you had an X-ray, blood, ECG, everything.

"Everything was fine, they just said it was just a reaction from Covid but today, he's absolutely on form aren't you?"

Praising the hospital staff who cared for Harvey she said: "The doctors and nurses were fantastic so I can't wait to still have my Covid injection and I still recommend everyone else have it and Harvey is safe and well."

Harvey's pre-existing conditions left him vulnerable to the coronavirus and he was given the vaccination during the fourth stage of the government's roll out plan, reported the Daily Star.
