Harvey Price offered train announcement opportunity

Katie Price's son has been offered the chance to be a train announcer.

The former glamour model was seen taking 18-year-old Harvey – who has septo-optic dysplasia, which causes blindness and growth hormone deficiency, Prader-Willi syndrome, ADHD and autism - to visit a station to watch the locomotives go by in their documentary 'Harvey and Me', which aired earlier this week, and now Network Rail bosses have told the teenager he'd be welcome to make an announcement at one of their stations when it is safe to do so.

Media Relations Manager, Tracey O’Brien, told Metro.co.uk: "We, Network Rail, would be happy to arrange for Harvey to make an announcement at one of the Network Rail managed stations when it is safe to do so."

Meanwhile, Katie recently admitted she hopes she isn't outlived by Harvey - who has no contact with his biological father Dwight Yorke - because she worries about how he’d cope if she wasn’t there to look after him.

She admitted: “I wish he would go before me. Not because I want him to die, but you talk to any mother and they worry about who will look after their disabled child when they are gone.

“He wouldn’t understand why I wasn’t there and it would break his heart. No one would cuddle him like me. No one would kiss him.

“The thought of him dying of a little broken heart would be awful.”

The 42-year-old star – who has four other children from her previous marriages – compared Harvey to an “adult baby” and admit there is no one who can cope with his violent behaviour and emotional disturbances in the way she can.

She said: ““He might lash out if he’s in a mood, but never with me. Never. Never me.

“But I always say to people, ‘If he’s kicking off and goes on the ground, don’t go up to him. Just leave him or he will kick you.’

“Talking to him like I do doesn’t work for other people. I have my connection with him. You have to work out your own way with Harv. He’s not stupid. He’s cleverer than people think…

“I am always trying angles with him, trying to make things OK. It’s what it’s like with him, all the time. He’s like a baby. Like an adult baby. He’s a man but he’s still a baby. Does that make sense?”
