Katie Price has taken aim at her ex Dwight Yorke on Father’s Day, branding him a “shameful dad” for reportedly cutting off contact with their son Harvey.
The former glamour model, 48, welcomed Harvey, 24, in May 2002. The young man lives with multiple health challenges, including blindness, autism, a learning disability, and Prader-Willi syndrome – a rare genetic condition affecting only around 2,000 people in the UK.
Sharing a throwback photo of Dwight with Harvey as a baby on her Instagram Story, Katie wrote:
“@officialdwightyorke19 you should be ashamed of yourself for disowning your son @officialmrharveyprice. He lights up everyone who meets him – a credit to me if only you treated him the same as your other son. Says a lot about your role as a dad… period.”
Dwight, 54, also has a 19-year-old son Orlando, whom he frequently features on social media. His representatives declined to comment.
Katie has previously spoken about the difficulties surrounding Harvey’s birth, revealing that Dwight initially denied paternity until DNA tests confirmed he was the father. She recounted that Dwight was reluctant to participate in the birth, with her husband stepping in to cut the cord.
In her 2021 memoir, Katie Price: Harvey and Me, Katie described how she tried to maintain a relationship between Harvey and his father after repeated rejections, but ultimately came to accept Dwight’s lack of interest. “I wanted Harvey to have his dad in his life, but he just wasn’t interested,” she wrote.
Dwight himself addressed the claims in his 2009 book Born To Score, insisting: “From the moment I set eyes on the little fella, I have loved my son like I could never ever have imagined possible… I am not going to hear any more that I did not care for Harvey or understand his needs.”
Katie’s social media post on Sunday has reignited debate among fans about parental responsibility and family estrangement, as she continues to advocate for her son’s well-being.
