Katie Price's son Harvey asked devastating question about his dad Dwight Yorke
Harvey Price, 23, who has complex needs, has been raised by his mother Katie Price and is now moving into independent living after the local authority cut his college funding Katie Price often divides opinion, but everyone can agree that she is a devoted mother to her eldest son Harvey, who regularly features on her social media accounts. Harvey, 23, has Septo-optic Dysplasia, autism and Prader-Willi syndrome, which means he needs round-the-clock care. Katie, 47, recently revealed she was forced to withdraw her son from a £350,000-a-year college after the local authority cut his funding, deeming he had "no healthcare issues". Now, Harvey is going "into the real world," the former glamour model said. Speaking on the Katie Price Show podcast, the mum explained: "Harvey is doing the countdown for his new place. He's got his leavers ceremony where they give out certificates and then it's the 'real world' Mr Harvey Price." The reality star has always been open about the difficulties of caring for her disabled son, who has complex needs. But little is said about Harvey's biological father. The mum-of-five has admitted, however, that former international and Premier League footballer Dwight Yorke, 53, doesn't maintain contact with her eldest child. Katie got pregnant when she was briefly dating Dwight; their relationship was short-lived when she allegedly discovered Dwight had cheated. The model once told how she was on a lingerie photoshoot when she heard that the sportsman had been partying with other women. During a 2009 interview, Dwight addressed the allegations, admitting he wasn't the 'perfect partner'. "I think anyone who's in a relationship would like their partner to be faithful and I'm saying I wasn't the perfect partner, she knows that," he said. The two warring exes endured a rocky relationship throughout the rest of her pregnancy, with Dwight denying paternity until a DNA test proved otherwise. The footballer did turn up to the hospital to visit his son, and also put his name on the birth certificate while trying to insist that Harvey should take his surname. However, his visits with his son became few and far between, with Dwight admitting: "It is a combination of different things, one my time schedule and being based up in Manchester and a footballer on an everyday basis. "Not sitting here and say I'm a total perfect father, I've made mistakes along the way and I would love to turn the clock back." But in his own book published the same year, Born To Score, he painted a very different picture of his feelings towards his son. "From the moment I set eyes on the little fella, I have loved my son like I could never ever have imagined possible," he wrote. "I am not going to hear anymore that I did not care for Harvey, or have any understanding of his needs or that I was not interested in his welfare. "Over the years I have heard Katie saying how [Peter] Andre is Harvey's dad and what a terrible, uncaring father I have been, all of which sticks in my throat. Maybe if she had not made life so difficult for me, might have been able to take a far more proactive role." At the time, Katie's then-husband Peter Andre wanted to adopt Harvey, but Dwight was furious and wrote that he wanted to "throttle" him. But five years later, Katie claimed that Dwight had no relationship with Harvey. She wrote in her 2014 autobiography: "The last time Harvey's biological father Dwight Yorke saw him, which was around eight years ago, the first thing he asked was why was Harvey so big. Why was I overfeeding him? "I'd explained Harvey's condition to Dwight many times, but he refused to understand it and kept going on about him being fat. It's sad that he's unable to accept Harvey for who he is and seems unable or unwilling to work within his limitations. On that occasion, I think Dwight wanted to blame someone for the fact that his son is disabled. "I have always said that if Dwight could see what a courageous and talented boy Harvey is then he would enjoy being with him so much." Katie claimed she has made multiple attempts to reach out to Dwight over the years, insisting it's "never too late" to be in their son's life. In November 2018, Katie shared a series of baby pics as she acknowledged the struggle of bringing up a child with complex needs - and told Dwight the "door is always open". Katie made a more desperate plea to her ex in December 2019, claiming Harvey "didn't deserve it" as she shared a heartbreaking video of her son asking for his dad. When asked who he would want to write a message to on Instagram by Katie, Harvey replied: "Daddy Dwight." "I love you Daddy Dwight. You look beautiful," added Harvey when asked what he would say. Katie then wrote to her two million followers in the caption: "Anyone who knows @Officialdwightyorke19 please get him to contact his son Harvey doesn't deserve this, he sees his other son Tiger so I don't understand! He does charity work for different kids charity yet doesn't see or support his own son. I don't get it!" In 2020, Katie revealed drastic plans to introduce Harvey to Dwight after supposed years of no contact. Chatting with pal Mel, Katie said: "What I would like to do is turn up at his dad's place - Dwight Yorke's - ring the doorbell and be there with Harvey, for him to see Harvey. That's what I would like to do and I will do that. I think Dwight should start entering Harvey's life, it's been years." Accusing Dwight of having not seen his son since he was four, Katie added: "I would love Dwight to come into contact with Harvey. How can you not want to know Harv? He's so funny." In 2021, Katie revealed in her book that Dwight had actually spoken to Harvey over the phone on his tenth birthday - and she was "shocked" that it happened. "But I think Dwight was even more shocked when Harvey asked him, 'When am I seeing you?'," she said. Katie said the last time she saw Dwight was when she met up with him at a restaurant in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, in 2012. They spoke about what Harvey had said on the phone, then Dwight told her he didn't want to be in Harvey's life. "Even after he said that, I was still trying to be persistent. I wanted Harvey to have his dad in his life, but he just wasn't interested in any of it," Katie explained. "This isn't about me. This is your son and your flesh and blood. But he just didn't give a s**t. "There's only so much you can try before you realise you're flogging a dead horse. I got up and left and that's the last time I saw him. I haven't heard from him since." Despite Dwight not stepping up, it was revealed by Harvey's maternal grandmother, Amy Price, that his agent has enquired about his son numerous times. In Katie's 2021 book, Amy said: "I think it's sad that Dwight isn't in Harvey's life. His agent has always been in contact with me. "If Harvey isn't well, she'll message me and ask how he is. But Dwight never asks himself." The year prior, Harvey was hospitalised and was really poorly in intensive care, and Dwight's agent rang Amy to ask "how bad he was". "I said, 'Look, this has got to stop now. If Dwight wants to know about Harvey, he's got our number and he should ring us himself'," Amy wrote. "He shouldn't be going through his agent. It's about time he took some responsibility. But we've heard nothing from Dwight, which is a shame. "Harvey is also missing out on a relationship with his brother, as Dwight has another son. It really is such a shame because we always had a good relationship with Dwight."

BRAVO TV STAR DWIGHT EUBANKS PUBLICLY SHARES PROSTATE CANCER DIAGNOSIS
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star joins a growing chorus of cultural influencers rallying behind ZERO Prostate Cancer urging Black men to know their risk and get screened. ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As National Men's Health and Pride Month kicks-off, Bravo TV star and Atlanta hair stylist Dwight Eubanks announced that he has been diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer and is channeling pain into purpose by joining ZERO Prostate Cancer (ZERO), the nation's leading advocacy and support organization for prostate cancer awareness, as a brand ambassador. Eubanks is a prominent hair stylist and entertainment icon who has spent over 30 years in fashion and cosmetology. He rose to fame on the Bravo reality series "The Real Housewives of Atlanta", and also appeared on "Married to Medicine" as creative director of the Lisa Nicole Fashion Line. Joining forces with ZERO, Eubanks will help raise awareness about prostate cancer and call for Black men to know their numbers and get screened. Today, one in six Black men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Moreover, Black men are 70% more likely to be diagnosed and twice as likely to die from it. "A prostate cancer diagnosis is crushing but I'm grateful to still be in this fight and use my platform to help others impacted by this disease," said Eubanks. "It is critical that men — especially Black men who are disproportionately diagnosed with prostate cancer — become their own health advocates and push for information, screenings, and lifesaving care. I am deeply thankful for ZERO's support and partnership and I hope by sharing my story I will help to save more lives." Every two minutes a man in the U.S. is diagnosed with prostate cancer. This year alone, over 300,000 new cases of prostate cancer are expected to be diagnosed and over 35,000 men will die from the disease — fathers, uncles and sons lost too soon. "Though we know exciting medical breakthroughs are on the horizon to treat those with the disease, awareness and being proactive to diagnose prostate cancer early are critical," said ZERO Board of Directors Medical Chair, Dr. Alicia Morgans, a Genitourinary Medical Oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. "The truth is prostate cancer can be curable with a 99% survival rate at 5 years when caught in the earliest stage. That's why Dwight's story and message to other men to get screened and know your family history is so powerful. Screening can be the difference between life and death." "This is more than a media moment — it's a movement," said Courtney Bugler, president and CEO of ZERO Prostate Cancer. "Dwight's voice and story will help to redefine how Black men talk about this devastating disease within their communities —removing the stigma, replacing fear with facts and turning silence into survival." In Eubanks' new role as a ZERO Brand Ambassador, he will help advocate for more access to screenings and quality care–supporting ZERO's current initiatives like Blitz the Barriers, which aims to save 100,000 lives by 2035 in communities hardest hit or most devastated by prostate cancer. About ZERO Prostate Cancer ZERO Prostate Cancer (ZERO) is on a mission to improve and save lives from prostate cancer through advocacy, awareness, education, and support. Formerly known as the National Prostate Cancer Coalition, ZERO was founded in 1996 to stand up for people impacted by prostate cancer. Today, ZERO serves as the nation's leading prostate cancer organization, advancing a future where prostate cancer detection is early, support is unwavering, and care is accessible to all. For nearly 30 years, ZERO has led the way in prostate cancer advocacy, screenings, and partnerships, successfully unlocking funding toward breakthrough discoveries, treatments, and lifesaving access to care. As the nation's #1 provider of prostate cancer resources, programs, and services, ZERO has supported millions of people at-risk or diagnosed, and their families. As the voice of the prostate cancer community, ZERO's urgent focus on breaking barriers to survival—by closing gaps in diagnosis, treatment, and care—brings critical attention to those most likely to be impacted by this disease.
