Former glamour model Katie Price has said her disabled son Harvey has been admitted to intensive care in hospital.
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.
The reality TV star tweeted: “I can confirm that Harvey is in intensive care and in the best hands. I would like to thank the ambulance services and the hospital staff for the quick response and making him stable.”
A host of well-known figures sent wishes well wishes to Price and Harvey on social media.
Actress Sally Phillips tweeted: “Lots of love and prayers for a speedy recovery” – a sentiment echoed by author Kimberley Chambers, who wrote “Sending love and prayers to you all”.
Price’s fellow reality star Nathan Henry, of Geordie Shore fame, wrote on Twitter: “Sending lots of love and prayers Harvey xxx”
Earlier this month, Price revealed Harvey would be featured in an upcoming BBC film exploring the realities of raising a disabled child as they approach adulthood.
The broadcaster said it will capture their life as “Harvey moves from child to adult services”, with Price having “difficult decisions to make about his future”.
Price also recently spoke to MPs as part of a parliamentary inquiry into online abuse, where she gave evidence about social media abuse aimed at her son.
