Katie Price shows off brand new £40k car for Harvey – after he’s unable to fit in hers
KATIE Price has shown off her brand new £40k car for Harvey, after he was unable to fit in hers.
Harvey, 22, lives with Prader-Willi syndrome – a rare genetic condition which means he is always hungry – and currently weighs 28 stone.
And back in February, Katie admitted her son Harvey can’t fit in her car after she revealed he will be starting weight loss jabs.
She said at the time: “He’s entitled to a mobility car because he doesn’t fit into small cars because of his size.
“Now the problem is they won’t insure me as his carer because of my licence.
“So that’s another bridge I’ve got to overcome. I’m his mum and the one who will be driving him around.”
Now, the star has shown off his brand new set of wheels – A Volvo XC40 Mild Hybrid Plus Black Edition.
With the motability scheme, Katie doesn’t get the car for free but Harvey’s disability benefits help pay towards the lease.
She guided fans around on Snapchat as she told them she was trying to find a suitable car for her eldest son.
After looking at a few different Volvos, the star said to fans: “Want to see what car I’ve chosen for Harv?”
She then reveals the Volvo in black and said: “He’s getting exactly this on a mobility scheme.
“This is the car, it’s so nice, all black and you can fit a wheelchair in the back.”
Katie also revealed that the seatbelts in the back would be big enough to go around him, and told fans of the importance of having that feature.
The former glamour model explained that Harvey will move to his new house in August, and his new car will arrive that same month.
In another car related update for Katie’s kids, her daughter Princess just revealed that she’d passed her driving test.
The excited teenager proudly her driving certificate while sitting in the car and beaming from ear to ear.
Princess told her fans: “I passed…,” and she looked very proud of herself while donning a glam makeup look and blue top.
Fans were delighted for the daughter of Katie and Peter Andre, and shared their messages of congratulations in the comments.
One person penned: “Brilliant! Well done,” and another said: “Congratulations princess safe driving now.”
Someone else added: “Congrats I’m sure your dad will get you a decent car.”
And Princess’ auntie, Sophie Price, wrote: “Yes Pringle,” followed by a string of hands in the air emojis.
Meanwhile, Princess’ mum Katie was disqualified from driving for two years in December 2021 after crashing her BMW in a drink-driving smash in Horsham.
Katie was charged at Northampton Magistrates’ Court for driving without insurance and without a valid driver’s licence.
Katie previously joked she would make her 17-year-old daughter become her chauffeur.
She told us at the time of Princess passing her theory: “Princess has passed her theory, she’s got to do her test now, then me and Princess in the car.”
“I messaged her and said I’m that close to getting you to be my driver.”
Katie has been banned from driving six times in the last ten years after a series of infringements.
