Katie Price says son Harvey steals pizzas out of home freezer and eats them raw

Katie Price has shared on her son Harvey's worrying food habits.

The star's 18-year-old - who has Prader-Willi Syndrome, an underactive thyroid, diabetes, is autistic and partially blind - struggles with his size due to his health conditions.

And Katie says that he is unable to suppress his insatiable appetite and, as a result, he sometimes helps himself to frozen pizzas from her kitchen freezer and eats them raw.

The former glamour model, 42, tells that she has warned Harvey - who weighs over 28 stone - that eating the uncooked food is bad for him but he thinks she's "joking."

Katie said to The Sun: “I tell him he’ll die and he says, ‘No, don’t be silly, Mummy’s only joking’."

She also added that he wears size 7XL clothes and that it is hard to find shops that sell items to fit.

Sharing on her guilt, she continued: "Every time I feed him, it’s killing him.

“Even though it makes him happy, it’s cruel of me to do it.

“He needs to lose weight or he’ll end up dead. He doesn’t deserve that. I don’t want to lose him."

Katie has always been vocal about her fears for her son as his weight continues to creep up on the scales.

In November, in her latest bid to help him get fit and healthy, she has pleaded online for help to find a treadmill and rowing machine to rent for the teenager.

She wrote: "Can anybody help I'm looking to rent a treadmill and rowing machine for Harvey that can take his weight - 28 and a half stone.

"Through lockdown, I have to make sure he can exercise at home, please help, DM me.."

Katie hoped to acquire gym equipment so Harvey could exercise over lockdown.

Due to the UK's nationwide lockdown gyms have been closed until December 2.
