Katie Price has revealed her son Harvey shouted out ‘I want my mummy’ as he lay in intensive care.
The former glamour model, 42, has been giving fans updates on Harvey’s well being after he was recently rushed to hospital after struggling to breath.
The mother-of-five told new magazine it was ‘horrible’ watching her son being brought in and admitted she was not permitted in the room with him due to coronavirus restrictions.
