Katie Price's son Harvey starting weight loss jabs

Katie Price's son Harvey is set to start taking weight loss jabs.

The 46-year-old actress is scared for her 22-year-old son, who is 28 stone and has a rare genetic condition Prader-Willi syndrome which results in him always being hungry.

Katie told The Sun newspaper: "He’s at risk of a heart attack, and because of his condition, he’s not getting any smaller. He’s putting on weight. It doesn’t matter what we do.

“He can’t put his shoes on without sweating. He can’t walk far because he gets out of breath.

"It’s because of all the weight. So the doctors are doing it to give him a better, longer life, and for his health.”

Harvey is also blind and autistic, as well as having septo-optic dysplasia.

Although Harvey is an adult, he's still being treated at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital for children.

Former glamour model Katie explained that the weight loss drug won't impact his other medication, and it can be stopped quickly if there are any side effects.

She said: “The good thing about starting him on the drug is, if it has any effect, you can stop it because you do it weekly.

“We’ve tried food, he’s had ­dietitians, it’s just the way he is. And he’s on a lot of medication which the drug won’t affect.

“They want to try him on it for at least one or two years, which is a long time, but they’ll control what level he needs then up it as they assess it.”
