Katie Price has opened up about her relationship with her autistic son as she admitted that it is her love for Harvey that kept her alive during a rehab stint earlier this year. The 42-year-old also said she hopes she will outlive her son as he wouldnt cope without her. The statement of Prices came after the 18-year-old was admitted to hospital this week after complaining of chest pains. Though the teenager is back at home now, the incident has left Price terrified since doctors told her that Harvey is at high risk of dying from a heart attack if his weight isn't reduced. The eldest child of the former glamour model weighs more than 27 stone (378 pounds) due to an excessive appetite caused by the genetic condition, called Prader-Willi Syndrome.

When Harvey went into the 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. I cant see him living past 50 unless we sort his weight and his breathing out, Price told The Sun as she added: I know its horrible to say, but I wish hed go before me because he wouldnt cope without me. Hed be so heartbroken and wouldnt understand where Id gone.

Price, who is also mother to two daughters 13-year-old Princess Tiaamii, and Bunny, five, and sons Junior, 15, and Jett, six, went to a rehabilitation center, The Priory, in January this year after accepting that she was self-medicating with alcohol and cocaine. She said that it was the thought of Harvey only that did not let her take any extreme step. The doting mother said: I could have gone off and hanged myself, which I wanted to do, but I didnt because I have kids.

I know its a harsh comment but its the truth. If I ever died, my other kids, obviously, would be heartbroken but Harvey would not understand where Id gone. And I just think no one would look after him the way I do, and he wouldnt understand why Im not there. The thought kills me. I hate it. I dont know whats going to happen in the future.

Price also talked about her sons admission to the hospital as she said she had a feeling that something was wrong with Harvey. The media personality said her partially sighted son was not behaving normally. However, when he complained about needles in his chest that Price called an ambulance. I know hes getting bigger and Id noticed in the past month his breathing had changed. It was at Princesss birthday party, just after shed done her cake and Harvey wasnt feeling himself and had a lie-down. And then he was getting worse and worse and I thought, Oh s**t, Price continued. Sometimes hell fake things like if he doesnt want to go to school, hell say Harvey feels wobbly, or hes got a sore throat. But I know him well enough to know if hes trying to pull a fast one or not. He said he was getting pains, and he can deteriorate quickly, so I just used my common sense, stayed calm, and called the ambulance.

After being admitted to the hospital, Harvey was diagnosed with fluid in his lungs and a chest infection. He was discharged the same night. But for Price dealing with his complex medical conditions is getting harder day by day. I love him, and I would never change him, but its constant. Its exhausting. He knows hes got to lose weight but its the Prader-Willi he just wants to eat. Hell steal food, and hes on steroids that make him big. We try everything, but cutting down food is hard, she stated.

Price added: Im not trying to give him a lot of food look at my other kids, theyre not big and fat like Harvey. I dont want him to be in 5XL clothes, or to not be able to go on proper walks without being out of breath. I dont want that, I come from a fit, healthy family. People dont appreciate how big he is until they see him. He cant fit in some cars, and on an aeroplane, the seatbelts dont fit him.

Meanwhile, it has been said the Price along with his eldest son is filming a BBC documentary, called Harvey And Me, about living with him in lockdown. The documentary will reportedly show the mother-son duo daily life and the struggles Price faces as a single mum to her disabled son. It is bloody difficult. Its a constant worry, and I worry about the other kids too. I think people will be shocked when they see what living with Harvey is really like. Im both his mum and his carer and I dont even ask for sympathy, but it is hard work, Price said.
