It was a day meant to be about showbiz — but it became a rare glimpse behind the headlines into the private, family-first world of Katie Price.
As the former glamour model prepared for another stop on her tell-all tour with Kerry Katona, it was her boyfriend, Married At First Sight UK star JJ Slater, who quietly took centre stage. The 32-year-old spent the day caring for Harvey, Katie’s eldest son, while also keeping a close eye on the family’s newborn kittens — whose health has been a major concern in recent days.
A Gentle Presence in a Chaotic Week
Arriving at St Helens Theatre, JJ was seen guiding 23-year-old Harvey — who is blind, autistic and has septo-optic dysplasia — into the venue with patience and care. Witnesses described the moment as “genuinely sweet,” with JJ ensuring Harvey was comfortable before the evening’s performance began.
While Katie greeted fans and prepared backstage, JJ balanced his time between supporting Harvey and tending to the kittens, who have been travelling on tour due to veterinary needs.
Onlookers said he remained attentive throughout, keeping Harvey engaged and relaxed while also checking on the animals.
A Joyful Stage Moment
Later that night, Harvey joined Katie and Kerry on stage, delighting the audience as he danced along to “Whole Again” — the iconic Atomic Kitten anthem.
Wearing a frog-eyed green bucket hat, blue top and grey tracksuit bottoms, Harvey beamed as the crowd stood to their feet. Katie later shared a selfie wearing his frog hat, writing:
“OMG Harvey just absolutely slayed that crowd.”
A Tour Under Scrutiny
The heartwarming scenes came at the end of a turbulent week on the road.
Just days earlier, Katie faced intense criticism after being more than two hours late to a show in Whitley Bay — and appearing on stage for around 30 minutes.
Fans claimed the situation was “unprofessional” and called for partial refunds, while Katie cited travel issues and the needs of her son.
JJ’s Growing Role
Insiders say JJ and Harvey have formed a close bond — and moments like those at St Helens are becoming increasingly common.
For some, JJ’s willingness to step up — tending to Harvey, handling the kittens, and absorbing pressure as Katie battles tour drama — has shown a quieter side to the reality star.
In a week filled with controversy and criticism…
it was a gentle high-five from Harvey to a fan, and a boyfriend guiding him through a theatre doorway, that stole the spotlight.
Because behind every headline about delays, backlash or drama —
there are the quieter stories of the people who show up when it matters most.
