Katie Price has said she ‘can’t stop smiling’ after her son Harvey has finally been discharged from hospital.

The former glamour model’s eldest son Harvey, 18, was rushed to hospital just over a week ago, after suffering from an extremely high temperature and chest pains.

He was admitted to intensive care, with Katie recently revealing that doctors had ‘discovered new things’ about Harvey, which she wasn’t ready to share, and he was being kept in hospital as a result.

After 10 days in intensive care, Harvey has been discharged from Epsom Hospital.

A rep for Katie told Metro.co.uk: ‘Harvey is headed home. Katie is naturally delighted.’

‘It feels like Christmas. I can’t stop smiling,’ Katie told The Sun of Harvey being discharged. ‘The day started badly, but it’s ending as the best day ever.’

Harvey being discharged comes after Katie assured fans the teen was on the ‘road to recovery’.

While in hospital, Harvey was tested for coronavirus as routine, with his results coming back as negative. Katie explained that doctors had kept Harvey in ICU due to the ‘complex’ nature of his condition.

Harvey is blind and autistic and has Prader-Willi syndrome, which can also affect his speech and movement.

On Sunday, she assured fans that Harvey was back to his usual self while sharing an update on his condition and insisting he had ‘turned a corner’.

Katie said in a YouTube video: ‘At the beginning of the week I was unsure what is happening with Harvey. He’s still not coming out of hospital.

‘They’ve discovered things about him and I’m not ready to reveal what they are… that’s all I can say, but he has turned a corner.’

Reassuring fans that Harvey is on the ‘road to recovery’, Katie added: ‘He’s now talking, he’s absolutely fine but obviously they’re doing what they need to do with him and he’s not going to come out yet. In his attitude, I’ve got my Harvey Price back. He’s on form and that’s why I’m smiling.’

The mum-of-five had revealed – prior to Harvey heading home – that her ex-husband Peter Andre was planning on visiting Harvey in hospital with her.

She revealed in her latest column for new! magazine that Pete has been a huge support during such a ‘scary’ time and said: ‘

‘He’s asked to go to the hospital. He can’t do it without me, so he’ll come and visit Harvey with me.’

After Harvey was rushed to hospital, Pete told fans he was ‘praying’ for Katie’s son to make a speedy recovery on Instagram.

He shares son Junior, 15, and daughter Princess, 13, with his ex-wife, who he was married to for five years.
