Katie also shared a picture of Harvey keeping up the tradition of throwing a graduation cap in the air.

She captioned it: "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.

"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."

Harvey had been attending a residential school and Katie made the difficult decision to put him into full-time care last year.

She has been searching for a residential college for him to attend now he is an adult.

Harvey has Prader-Willi syndrome, which is a rare genetic condition that can impact muscle tone and can lead to obesity as it sparks a constant desire to eat food and a permanent feeling of hunger.

He has struggled with his weight, and is also partially blind and autistic.

Katie has set Harvey up in his own house opposite her own so he can be more independent.

She has also admitted that she wanted Harvey, who is 6ft 2in and weighed 28 stone at the time, to have full-time care for his own safety as he often lashes out and Katie struggles to restrain him.
