Katie Price's son Harvey discharged from hospital after contracting 'bug'

Katie Price's son Harvey has been discharged from hospital.

The 18-year-old was pictured being rushed off to hospital in an ambulance yesterday after falling ill at sister Princess' 13th birthday party.

It's now been revealed that Harvey came down with a bug which sent his temperature soaring and prompted concerned mum Katie to call for urgent medical attention.

After Harvey underwent a series of tests doctors gave the green-light for the teenager, who suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome, to return home the same day to be with his family.

A representative for Katie told The Sun: "Harvey was kept under observation and then discharged last night.

"He was home in time to enjoy a slice of Princess's birthday cake. He picked up a bug, which led to an elevated temperature and the ambulance was called as a precaution.

"Katie is very glad he's back at home."

On Monday, Katie called for an ambulance after Harvey presented symptoms that she knew required urgent medical care.

He was seen being wheeled out of Kate's Surrey home by paramedics wearing face masks.

Pictures showed a sombre Katie following her son into the South East Ambulance before they made their way to a local hospital.

Harvey suffers from multiple health conditions including Septo-optic dysplasia - which causes blindness and affects his growth. He is also autistic and has an under-active thyroid and diabetes.

The eldest of Katie's five children fell ill on the same day her daughter Princess celebrated her 13th birthday.

Shortly before Katie was forced to make the 999 call, she took to Instagram to pay tribute to the daughter she shares with ex husband Peter Andre.

Alongside a montage video of happy family times, the former glamour model penned: "Happy Birthday to my absolute world Princess.

"My first baby girl turning a teenager. She literally is me in EVERYWAY. Words are not enough to describe how much I love you! "

"She is now 13 and has been dying to have her own Instagram account so here it is @officialprincess_andre."
