Katie Price has confirmed that her son Harvey is now in intensive care after suffering a medical emergency at home earlier today.

The 18-year-old, who suffers from multiple ailments including autism and partial blindness, was rushed to hospital after complaining of breathing difficulties and his temperature rocketed to 42 degrees.

Harvey was previously hospitalised two weeks prior when he fell ill at his younger sister Princess's birthday party with chest pains.

Writing on Twitter, Price said: "I can confirm that Harvey is in intensive care and in the best hands. I would like to thank the ambulance services and the hospital staff for the quick response and making him stable."

Harvey is Price's only son with former footballer Dwight Yorke, who has reportedly only seen him a handful of times since his birth.
