Harvey was rushed to hospital by ambulance with breathing problems after his temperature shot up to a dangerously high 42 degrees.

A close friend said: Katie has been preparing herself for this moment all his life and shes been told Harvey is in a perilous condition.

Shes been here before, but this time its far more serious.

Shes trying to be tough and strong, but inside shes falling apart and feels helpless.

The model and TV star was devastated that she would not be allowed to stay overnight next to Harvey in ICU due to new visiting restrictions triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The close friend added: Doctors need to get his temperature down. Hes in a really bad way.

Harvey has the rare genetic condition Prader-Willi syndrome, which can cause weight gain and behavioural problems, and is also partially blind and on the autistic spectrum.

He sat in a wheelchair inside the ambulance that took him to Epsom Hospital, Surrey.

On Instagram last night, Katie told followers: I can confirm Harvey is in intensive care and in the best hands and would like to thank the ambulance services and the hospital staff for the quick response and making him stable.

It is the second time Harvey has needed hospital treatment in two weeks after he fell ill at sister Princess 13th birthday at her Surrey home.

Harvey experienced chest pains that felt like pins and needles and was later sent home after being diagnosed with a chest infection.

Speaking to The Sun earlier this month Katie revealed doctors told her Harvey is at serious risk of dying from a heart attack if he does not lose weight.

And, in a brutally stark statement, the fearful mum said she hoped Harvey would die before she does, because he simply will not be able to cope without her.

Katie said: When Harvey went into hospital, I feared the worst. I always do.

The doctors have told me hes at high risk of having a heart attack. Hes 27st, wears 5XL clothes and he gets out of breath walking up the stairs. So of course I panicked.

As well as Harvey, whose dad is former Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke, Katie has Princess and Junior, 15, with ex-husband Peter Andre.

She also has two children - Jett, six, and Bunny, five with Kieran Hayler.

Death fears at 27st

By Joe Duggan

KATIE admitted this month she feared 27-stone Harvey could die of a heart attack if he does not lose weight.

The teenager has an excess appetite caused by his genetic condition.

After his hospital trip with chest pains last month, Katie said: I cant see him living past 50 unless we sort out his weight and breathing.

Harvey was born with the brain disorder septo-optic dysplasia which left him partially sighted.Katie found out when he was around six weeks old.

He also has ADHD and an underactive thyroid.

In 2018, when he was 16, Katie admitted she feared Harvey could die from diabetes if he did not get fit.

She praised her then boyfriend Kris Boyson for working out with him after his weight topped 22 stone.

Harvey now lives in residential care five days a week.

Katie has said his conditions arent life-limiting as long as he takes medication and we watch his weight.
