Katie Price slams ex Dwight Yorke and reveals heartbreaking way he refuses to see Harvey
Katie Price has made a fresh dig at ex Dwight Yorke – saying he turns down the chance to see their son Harvey on his birthday.
The former glamour model gave birth to her eldest son in 2002 after a brief relationship with the footballer.
Harvey has complex needs as he is autistic, partially blind and he has a genetic disorder known as Prader–Willi syndrome.
Dwight Yorke, 51, admitted to being unfaithful to Katie Price during their relationship in the early noughties and the pair have had a frought relationship ever since.
He has been virtually non-existent in his child’s life after he initially denied he Harvey’s dad and he demanded a paternity test.
However, the examination later confirmed that he was indeed the father of the then-young child.
But the My Mucky Mansion star has issued a fresh attack on the athlete as she says that despite repeated attempts to connect the duo, he refuses to know him.
In a new interview with The Guardian, Katie admitted: “The door is always open. I would love the day I see Dwight and Harvey in front of each other.
“My mum still contacts his manager every year, and asks does he want to see Harvey for his birthday, and it’s always the same – ‘no’.
But she ways says that Yorke doesn’t know what he’s missing out on as she gushed over her son’s vibrant personality.
“I just want Dwight to know what a gorgeous young man Harvey is. Harvey has so much banter. He’s just a funny little b*******,” she joked.
Katie added: “You never know what’s going to come out of his mouth. He rules the roost when he’s home.”
She has previously claimed that Dwight has only seen his son a handful of times – despite her desperate plea for him to be in Harvey’s life.
The star also previously opened up on the moment Harvey was born on her podcast.
Speaking about her labour, she said: “Dwight turned up at the last minute but he didn’t want to come in the room or cut the cord so dad did it, he cut the cord.
“And anyway I remember Dwight saying ‘oh there’s a bruise’ and I thought ‘don’t insult me.’
“That was the last time I sort of saw Dwight, I didn’t see him many times after that.
“I found it [the mark] and it’s called a Mongolian blue spot, it fades eventually.”
