Harvey’s move into temporary residential care

The post comes after Katie told fans that Harvey had moved into temporary residential care. He had moved back in with her full-time while they waited for his new home to be ready.

Katie explained the decision to her sister Sophie on the latest episode of [The Katie Price Show]: “This week I am chilling now. So Harvey has gone to a residential temporary place now, because after three kitchen cabinets and just everything I’m just like, honestly, he is ruining my house.

“I’ve said he’s got to go into this place, the place we have been waiting a year and a half for. So he’s gone somewhere else up the road, he’s loving it, he’s got his own little flat until his place is ready.”

Last year, Katie said on The Katie Price Show that Harvey had to leave a residential care home earlier than expected because staff had reportedly said he was “too difficult”.

Katie Price’s ‘heartbreaking’ decision

Katie has previously said she sent Harvey to residential homes to give him the chance of independence, but that it wasn’t an easy decision.

In 2021, she told The Sun: “It breaks my heart.

“It’s so upsetting to think I won’t see him every day but this is the best thing for Harvey and we have to think positively because I don’t want him to think I’m just getting rid of him,” she added.

“This is his chance to live an independent life, learn skills and socialise with people other than me.”
