Katie Price weeps with pride as son Harvey overcomes fresh challenge on holiday

Such a proud mummy

Hard as it may be to believe, Katie Price can indeed show emotion – in spite of any work she may have had done on her face.

And she proved it this week when she came over all emotional as she watched her son Harvey learning to scuba dive on holiday.

In scenes set to appear in Katie’s reality show Katie Price: My Crazy Life, Katie starts blubbing as she watches her disabled son Harvey trying his hardest during a scuba diving session.

The footage was shot while Katie and family were on holiday earlier this year!

On the show, Kate says she is particularly proud of her boy because when he was born she had been told by doctors that as well as being blind and suffering from a number of medical conditions including Prader–Willi syndrome, he may never walk.

“It’s more daunting for him than anyone else ‘cos it’s the unknown,” the bursting-with-pride mum said.

“We can see, he can’t. And he looks so calm.

“To see Harvey do this is absolutely amazing…

“This is why, whatever I do with him, I try to push him to do things.

“Just because you’ve got disabilities doesn’t mean you can’t do anything…

“Fifteen years ago they doctors said he wouldn’t walk, do talk anything really and now look at him.

“It makes you realise in life that a child you thought couldn’t walk talk is now in a pool scuba diving – that’s a massive achievement.”

Of course as we all know, Katie is very protective over her son Harvey.

Years ago when Heat magazine poked fun at him by publishing a cruel sticker she took action against the magazine.

Then earlier this year, she launched a campaign to stamp out online bullying after Harv was targeted by trolls.

She says she wants to make sure no one can make fun of people like Harvey anymore.

“I just want to show people,’ Why do you take the [bleep] out of someone just cos they’ve got a disability,” she said.

“He’s done better than most able people.”
