Katie Price's son Harvey is reportedly "seriously ill" and is expected to stay in intensive care for several weeks.

The 18-year-old, who suffers from a number of conditions including diabetes and partial blindness, was rushed to hospital earlier this week after he started struggling to breathe.

According to The Sun, Katie has been told by doctors that Harvey will require constant observation in the coming days as he is "still dangerously ill".

"Harvey's a fighter and being very brave, but he's not out of the woods yet," a family source told the newspaper.

"He's still very seriously ill and could be in intensive care for weeks yet. His health issues are so complicated that everyone wants to make sure everything is treated. It's heartbreaking for Katie."

Katie is being supported during Harvey's ordeal by her new boyfriend Carl Woods.
