Katie Price has shared a health update on her son Harvey, revealing he is set to start a new weight loss drug after a series of trials.
The TV personality, 47, said her 23-year-old son, who currently weighs 28 stone, is still trying to ‘lose weight through his diet’ but will soon move on to the jab to speed up the process.
In April, Harvey weighed 30 stone before recent changes to his diet have helped him lose 1.5 stone.
For the uninitiated, Harvey is blind, autistic, has septo-optic dysplasia, learning disabilities and has Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder.
Katie fears she may lose her son without further intervention after trying a number of different weight loss strategies over the years.
Speaking on her podcast on Thursday, Katie explained: ‘He hasn’t started with fat jabs. It’s about cool jabs, about Mounjaro, for him.’
Katie continued: ‘But when he was there, they’ve actually got a new weight loss product coming and it’s new.
‘They’ve clinically tested it on people and they have a few people they put it on first.’
“And if it works, then Harvey can continue with it in the new year.
But they want him to start Mounjaro. Because if he goes on Mounjaro first and then goes on this new one, it will work much faster.
‘The reason he hasn’t started Mounjaro yet is because they tried to get him to lose weight through his diet, to try every avenue.’
It comes after Katie confessed in April that she was ‘devastated’ because Harvey’s weight had reached almost 30 stone, leaving him struggling to walk and at risk of losing his life.
