The TV personality's eldest child has Prader-Willi syndrome, which sparks a constant desire to eat food and a permanent feeling of hunger which leads to obesity.
In her latest episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, which she hosts with her sister, Sophie, she opened up about Harvey starting on the weight loss jab, Mounjaro, once he gets to his new college.
"So they (the college) want him to settle there for two weeks at least, so they get to know him," Katie told listeners.
"Because they said once they sort of get to know him, you know, when he kicks off all of that.
"So they could keep an eye that when he starts the Mounjaro, they would notice if there's a difference in behaviour, this/that, but because he's near me, I'll be more involved this time, because it's so far here, I'll be seeing him all the time.
Continuing, she said: "I'm having visions (about Harvey), right, that when he starts it, because I'm joining him at the gym, I'm going to get him a boxing trainer, not to be a boxer, but it's good exercise, and I think he'll love it.
"I'm just so fascinated to know what he's gonna look like.
Sophie then asked: "So technically, we're talking what, three weeks until he starts his journey?"
To which Katie replied: "Well, we've got eight (weeks), and then he can start, but I'm trying to make it quicker, because I want him to start it, and I read all these stories on people.
"Remember he's like 30 stones, Sophie, and you hear how these people are in 10 months have lost like six stone, yeah?

"I just can't imagine what he's gonna look like, because I think in his eyes and that he looks like Junior now, like even the clothes I buy him are different.
"I can then go on High Street and dress him more trendy, and he'll have more energy.
"I can't wait to see what he's gonna look like, because we're just used to Big Bear Harvey."
The mum-of-five previously opened up on how Harvey's life was at risk because of his size.
Along with Prader-Willi syndrome, her eldest child battles a series of debilitating conditions including autism, septo-optic dysplasia, ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder.
In a video posted in April, Katie revealed: 'I'm so heartbroken and gutted that his weight is just going up.

'I just googled it in stones, 188kg is just a few kg of being 30 stone.
'It's so life-threatening now, I'm still waiting for the doctors to get back to me starting on the mounjaro and his journey to a healthy life.'
She continued: 'It's so sad his quality of life at the moment where he's so big, he just can't really do much.
'It's just another thing I have to deal with because he's at high risk of having a heart attack, he struggles to put his trainers or struggles to walk anywhere but I love him and I'm going to help him through this.
'So sad, obesity and his condition is sad, it's sad to see someone go through it and he doesn't understand.'
In February Katie told The Sun she consulted top doctors who suggested starting Harvey on the jabs in a bid to improve his chances of living longer.
Harvey's biological dad is former footballer Dwight, 53, dated for a short period between 2000 and 2001, but split shortly after Katie told him she was pregnant.

'Hopeless romantic' Welsh sends his gang looking for love
But it is the characters he created for Trainspotting that he keeps returning to – even if their latest adventures may be something of a departure for Renton, Sick Boy, Spud and Begbie. Read more: The fourth sequel to Trainspotting, which picks up shortly after the end of the first novel, sees them leaving heroin behind in pursuit of romance and raves. And Welsh has admitted he has drawn on his own experience as a 'pretty hopeless romantic' for the novel, which sees the characters seeking sex and looking for love in London, Amsterdam, Paris and their home city of Edinburgh, where Welsh suddenly emerged as a major new literary voice in the early 1990s. Irvine Welsh shot to fame with his debut novel Trainspotting in 1993. (Image: Getty) Within three years of Trainspotting's publication, it had been turned into an acclaimed feature film starring Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Ewen Bremner and Jonny Lee Miller, who were reunited in 2016 for a sequel set around 20 years on from the original. Men In Love, Welsh's latest novel, is the second Trainspotting novel since the movie sequel, although the new book unfolds as the 1980s are drawing to a close with Margaret Thatcher still Prime Minister and rave culture sweeping the UK. Welsh said: 'I've never really left these characters behind. They are in my head as the go-to guys that I'm always writing stories about to try to understand the world. 'To write a novel I really need to have a theme. I really wanted to write a positive book as there is so much hate in the world just now. I wanted to get people thinking about the more emotional and romantic side of life.' Welsh has been working on Men In Love since getting married for a third time, in 2022. He said: 'I was thinking back to that era when guys in their twenties first get serious about romance and their partner becomes more important than their mates, but they are not really equipped for it. 'I was looking back and thinking about how useless most guys are at that time. I thought I'd get the most useless guys of all and see how they shape up. 'I think I've always been quite serious about relationships. I was always obsessed with any women who were daft enough to go out with me. I've always been a pretty hopeless romantic at heart.' Welsh, who worked in Edinburgh City Council's housing department before pursuing a career as a writer, said he had never intended to create a whole series of books on the Trainspotting characters. The author told The Herald: 'I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse, but I have always lived in the present. I don't really have the ability to look back or forward. 'When I go out with pals they come out with all these stories and tell me what I was wearing 35 years ago. I can't even remember what colour of underpants I put on in the morning. 'I always said in the past that I was done with the characters from Trainspotting, but I'm not going to say that now. I will probably revisit them again. 'But I've just written a contemporary book, which is coming out next year, which is set in Las Vegas and has a whole new cast of characters. It's a very different book, which has been incredibly freeing to write.' While his new book offers Welsh's fans a nostalgic trip, the author bemoans the impact of new technology on younger generations, society, culture and nightlife. The author said: 'Things have changed massively, when I think about the freedom that we had. We could do anything. 'The internet was supposed to be this great liberation, but it's become such an intrusive and confining thing now. We are being monitored all the time and we are policing each other. 'I do think about how much more boring my life would have been if we had had the internet, surveillance technology and all that kind of stuff back then. I do really feel for the youth of today. They are not really allowed to transgress in any way. 'Nobody has really got money to do anything now. That's the main reason pubs are shutting down. 'So many music and literature festivals have shut down this summer because people just don't have the money to go to them. 'The internet is also driving us to a post-culture society where a lot of people, particularly working-class people, are not engaging in culture in any way. It's a horrible development.' Welsh's interest in music has seen him co-write a Trainspotting stage musical, which is hoped to be launched next year, and release a disco-inspired Men In Love album to coincide with the release of his new novel. After his book launches in Edinburgh and Glasgow this week, he will also be performing late-night DJ sets at the official after-parties. Welsh will also be making further appearances in his home city over the next few weeks, with a Men In Love book festival event and the world premiere of a new documentary, Reality Is Not Enough, made by Edinburgh-based filmmaker Paul Sng, who followed the author around the world for more than a year. The film, which is described as 'a gripping and revealing deep dive' into the mind of the author, is said to find Welsh 'at a crossroads, acutely aware of his own mortality.' Welsh said: 'By god, it makes me look interesting, which is quite an achievement. 'You spend so much time in your own head, you don't really perceive of yourself as someone who has an interesting life. 'You are in all these locations, talking to different people and doing different things. You don't really think of it as being particularly glamorous as you are transit all the time. 'But I have met so many interesting people down the years. 'In some ways, watching the documentary was like meeting a version of myself for the first time.' Welsh is launching Men In Love days before the main Edinburgh Festival season gets underway. He said: 'It's great that the Festival happens, but the downside of it is that we put all our eggs into the one cultural basket. It's an importation. There's not really a living, breathing thing going in the town.'

Kerry Katona goes solo as she lands new job without Katie Price amid tour chaos
Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona has landed a huge new job amid her on and off tour with best pal Katie Price as they've been hit with cancellations and scheduling woes Kerry Katona hasn't let her pal Katie Price get in the way of her heading out on the road, as she secures a new lucrative deal. The former Atomic Kitten star, 44, suffered a setback when her scheduled appearance with the former glamour model, 47, was cancelled at the last minute. They also revealed they would be travelling the country on a mammoth tour, stopping off at over 30 towns before it was cancelled. However, Katie and Kerry managed to revive their shows as just weeks later they confirmed it was back on. While their tour looks set to happen, Kerry has secured another all on her own. Without needing to rely on mate Katie, Kerry is set to spend two months on the stage as part of the cast of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. The theatre show of the hit movie will travel across the UK in June and July next year as Kerry takes centre stage. Kerry's agency confirmed the exciting project as they said: "Our client @kerrykatona7 will be touring in the musical Here We Go Again in June and July 2026 across the U.K. and Ireland." Her celebrity pals have already signed up to support her when the tour kicks off as Love Island's Olivia Hawkins commented: "Yessssss finally! Superstar! Ready to be front row." The news comes as Kerry has faced uncertainty over her performances with Katie. This past weekend, Katie pulled out of Glasgow Pride due to "another urgent obligation." It came just weeks after she and Kerry pulled out of Barnsley Pride due to "unforeseen circumstances" and "personal reasons." Back in May, Katie and Kerry also cancelled their entire "tell-all" tour, which had been scheduled to visit venues around the UK. An Evening With Katie Price & Kerry Katona was given the axe when Katie was reportedly prevented from committing due to her "busy schedule." A source told The Sun: "Katie is gutted and tried everything she could to make it work, but she has had to step away from the tour because she has childcare commitments and also a very busy schedule." However, the tour is now back on and the shows will go ahead as originally planned. A source added to the publication: 'For the last few weeks, the team putting this together have been in crisis talks with Katie's people and they've managed to find a solution that suits everyone. "Some of the dates will be rescheduled to fit around Katie's childcare clashes, meaning she is back in. Everyone behind the scenes is thrilled because it would have been a financial nightmare to pay back all the tickets that had been re-sold. "Katie and Kerry are chuffed too as they didn't want to let any fans down.' Their show will kick off in September in Ellsmere Port and end the following month in Hull. The pals plan to "share stories of their friendship, marriage and divorce, bankruptcy, 'I'm A Celebrity', the importance of family, their constant press attention and turning their lives around."

Now five years on, Fernandez is looking for a different kind of love. That is because the Canadian, 22, revealed on social media she is hoping to find a partner - and figured the best bet would be to meet up with a fan. The tennis tour is about to head for its Canadian swing, with Fernandez the home favourite as the world No36 for the WTA 1000 event in Montreal.

Fernandez took to Instagram to reveal her plan. She said in the video: "In Montreal, I would like to go on a date." The camera then fuzzes as someone in the background hilariously makes a gagging sound and Fernandez collapses into laughter on the sofa.

I fully intend to go on a date in Montreal so go ahead and DM me… time to shoot your shot. "PS: you may have to meet my dad beforehand (good luck with that)." While one former US Open finalist is on the lookout for love, another has already found it. Two-time champion Venus Williams, 45, made a shock return to tennis with her first win for two years this week. Tennis stars' new careers PLENTY of tennis stars have stayed involved in the sport since retiring. But others pursued very different careers. Here are some of the best… I reached French Open and Wimbledon finals as a teenager but I quit to become a nun I won Wimbledon mixed doubles with my sister but got fed up with English weather so now run luxury B&B I was tipped for stardom aged 12 but retrained to become high-flying lawyer I earned £9m and won French Open before setting up bistro with Brazilian model girlfriend I'm last Frenchman to win Roland Garros, now I'm singer with six albums hitting No1 in charts I'm former world No1 but quit aged 29 - instead I went on to play professional poker and golf I was destined for the top but swapped lobs for labs as award-winning Harvard physicist The WTA Tour veteran looked like she'd never been away as she defeated world No35 Peyton Stearns, 22 years her junior, 6-3 6-4 in front of a raucous night session crowd - and fiance Andrea Preti. In doing so, Williams became the second-oldest woman ever to win a singles match at tour level, only behind Martina Navratilova, who did so at 47 years old. After her historic triumph, Williams opened up on court about her engagement to actor partner Andrea Preti - and credited him for keeping her going in the sport. The tennis icon said: "My fiance is here and he really encouraged me to keep playing. "There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill. Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? "You guys don't know how much work goes into this, like it's 9 to 5 except you're running the whole time." 4 Venus Williams is engaged to fiance Andrea Preti Credit: Getty
