‘The next 48 hours are critical. Harvey just really needs to do well over the next couple of days. He is having loads of tests today and being watched around-the-clock.

‘Katie is doing her best – it’s horrible – having a child with so many complex conditions is so tough.’

On Sunday, it was reported that mother-of-five Katie was ‘fearing the worst’, due to Harvey’s numerous health complications meaning he was at risk of organ failure. 

Harvey has the rare genetic disorder Prader-Willi Syndrome, is partially blind due to Septo-optic dysplasia, autistic, diabetic and has an underactive thyroid. 

Katie called an ambulance for her eldest child when she noticed he was feeling unwell before he was sent to a specialist paediatric ward.

According to the NHS, a high temperature is usually considered to be 38 degrees or above.   

Kate meanwhile revealed on Tuesday that she will be able to see her husband Derek Draper in person for the first time in four months, as he remains hospitalised while recovering from COVID-19.

The presenter, 52, said on Good Morning Britain that nurses were setting up a television so Derek can watch her, after revealing a day before she’s staying positive after her husband had ‘a stable day’ in his recovery.

Kate made her return to GMB on Monday alongside Ben Shephard after taking a break from the show while Derek was hospitalised. 

WHAT IS PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME?

Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare genetic condition that causes problems including constant urges to eat food, restricted growth and reduced muscle tone.

Other potential issues include learning difficulties, lack of sexual development and behavioral problems such as tantrums or stubbornness.

The rare condition, which affects one in every 15,000 children born in England, is caused by a defect on chromosome number 15 – and happens by chance.

Because there is no cure, treatment aims to manage the symptoms – with parents of sufferers urged to get their children to stick to a healthy, balanced diet.

Children with the syndrome can eat up to six times more than children of the same age – and still feel hungry.

It was first described in 1956 by Swiss doctors A Prader, A Labhart and H Willi.
