Katie Price asks for help finding gym equipment for Harvey as she reveals he weighs almost 29 stone

Katie Price has asked her followers for help in finding gym equipment for her eldest son to use in lockdown.

The doting mother-of-five, 42, took to Instagram on Wednesday to appeal to her fans ahead of a second lockdown starting in the UK which will force gyms to close.

Specifying that she’s after a treadmill and rowing machine, Katie also revealed that Harvey, 18, now weighs 28 and a half stone.

Katie wrote: ‘Can anybody help. I’m looking to rent a treadmill and rowing machine for Harvey that can take his weight, 28 half stone, and other gym bits as through lockdown I have to make sure he can exercise at home. Please help, DM me.’ 

Harvey has multiple disabilities including blindness, Prader-Willi syndrome and ADHA and was rushed into intensive care in June experiencing extreme chest pains. 

The former glamour model, who is jetting home from her Maldives trip with beau Carl Woods on Wednesday, often shares updates about her teenage son.

After his health scare in July, a spokesperson for Katie told MailOnline that she was going to make lifestyle changes for her son and try to ‘reduce his weight’.

They said: ‘Katie is about to embark on a new regime with Harvey in a hope that she can reduce his weight.

‘Harvey’s meds leave him with an insatiable appetite – Katie is constantly battling! But now, with the help of a specialist, Katie hopes to be able to help maintain Harvey’s weight for the immediate future.’

While back in September Katie revealed that Harvey was ‘chuffed with himself’ after looking at a college as she shared a heartwarming picture of her eldest son. 

She posted a picture of a beaming Harvey to her Instagram and described how proud he was after visiting the further education centre.

The post garnered more than 12,547 likes and well-wishers described how they were overjoyed for Harvey. 

One wrote: ‘Such a talented boy so proud of him and you’re a brilliant mum he is a credit to you.’ 

While earlier in October, Katie revealed Harvey, who does not have a relationship with his biological father, Dwight Yorke, wanted her beau Carl Woods to be his dad.

In an Instagram video, Katie asked: ‘Harv, what do you want mummy and Carl to do?’ to which the teenager responded: ‘Be with mummy and Harvey and Carl… your daddy.’  

Katie confirmed: ‘You want Carl to be your what?’ as her son responded, ‘Harvey’s daddy.’

As Katie asked Harvey: ‘Do you? Do you love Carl that much?’ he replied, ‘Yes mum.’  

Katie dated Harvey’s biological father Dwight, 48, from 2000-2001, and has criticised the footballer for his alleged lack of contact with Harvey. 

In her 2016 book Reborn, the mother-of-five insisted Dwight was unwilling to accept the limitations of his son’s disabilities. 

In June Harvey was rushed to intensive care after having trouble breathing. He experienced extreme chest-pains and a soaring temperature and was thought to be at risk of organ failure. 

Katie recalled seeing eight doctors crowding around him in the resuscitation room and said she was ‘terrified’ by the horrific ordeal.

Harvey was discharged from hospital in July ten days after he was rushed into intensive care.  

Due to Harvey’s complex needs, he lives in residential care, but has been home with Katie amid the coronavirus pandemic. 

Katie is also mother to son Junior, 15, and daughter Princess, 13, with ex-husband Peter Andre and son Jett, six, and daughter Bunny, five, with estranged husband Kieran Hayler.
