According to the Daily Mirror, Katie Price has issued an urgent plea to fans, saying she 'can't lose Harvey' in an emotional post. The Daily Mirror reports that Katie Price took to her Instagram stories to issue a public plea to help her son. In one post, she wrote, 'NHS ARE NOT HELPING IF THERE'S ANY PRIVATE DOCTORS WHO ANY ONE KNOW PLEASE DM I CANT LOSE HARVEY.' The Daily Mirror states that Katie Price has issued a public plea for her son Harvey as she's hoping to be put in touch with a private doctor who can help her with Harvey's ongoing weight battle. It remains unknown what specific medical interventions or treatments Katie Price is seeking from a private doctor for Harvey.
On her podcast, Katie Price elaborated on her concerns. 'I'm not slagging the NHS off, but they know he's in the obese category,' she said. She described worrying signs during his sleep: 'When he sleeps, I worry because he's snoring and wheezing, and then sometimes he holds his breath. He's massive, Soph, he's just getting bigger. He'll end up dying of a heart attack.' The Daily Mirror reports that Katie Price's son Harvey, 23, is at risk of dying of a heart attack due to his weight. Katie Price added, 'They've already told me years ago that if he don't lose weight, he's prone to a heart attack. I just feel so bad, I'm going to have to do something. I'm not going to inject him myself, that's not medically right to do for him.' She concluded, 'But something needs to be done; he's just huge, so that's that.'

The Daily Mirror explains that Harvey's Prader-Willi Syndrome causes him to rapidly gain weight – as the condition causes him to have insatiable hunger and a slow metabolism. The NHS's response or plan regarding Harvey's weight and health condition has not been detailed. Earlier this year, the Daily Mirror reports that Katie Price revealed her plans to get Harvey into the gym as he weighed just under 30 stone. Katie Price told Harvey on New Year's Eve, 'What we're gonna do this year is get very, very healthy so you can get on those rollercoasters for your birthday.' Harvey replied with a request to go on the Grand National roller coaster in Blackpool. Katie Price responded, 'Oh you wanna go on that one? That's easier than America to get to. Well we can do that.'
The Daily Mirror notes that Katie Price's concern for Harvey comes after her family shared their own worries for the star after her whirlwind wedding to Lee Andrews. The Daily Mirror states that Katie Price's wedding to Lee Andrews wasn't attended by any of her family. The details of the family's worries for Katie Price after her wedding have not been specified. It is also unknown whether any private doctor or medical professional has responded to Katie Price's public plea for help.
