‘PRINCESS IS MY BEST FRIEND – BUT SHE DOESN’T ASK ME FOR ADVICE ON BOYS!’

AS PRINCESS BECOMES A TEENAGER, KATIE PRICE TELLS OK!’S OLIVER GRADY ALL ABOUT THE ‘DRAMATIC’ PARTY AND HER DISAGREEMENT WITH PETE

It was a party fit for a princess, but an emergency hospital dash almost derailed the day as Katie Price celebrated her eldest daughter’s 13th birthday. As the former glamour model, 42, was throwing a bash for newly turned teenager Princess at her Sussex home, her 18-year-son Harvey fell ill with chest pains, prompting Katie to call an ambulance.

“There is always drama with me,” Katie, who is also mum to Junior, 15, Jett, six, and Bunny, five, tells OK! when we catch up with her once Harvey is safely home. “Luckily, Harvey is fine, which is the most important thing,” says the star, who appeared in parliament days later to speak to a Petitions Committee about online abuse in her ongoing quest to pass Harvey’s Law (against internet trolling).

After telling us about Harvey, who suffers from autism, ADHD and the genetic condition Praderwilli syndrome, and her day in Westminster, Katie gives us all the details of Princess’ big day – which included a designer cake, lots of pink balloons and a very special new furry friend.

Katie lights up when she discusses her close bond with her ‘mini me’, who was allowed to join Instagram on her birthday – and racked up more than 35,000 followers that same day.

“Princess has started her own Youtube channel, too, and I definitely see her going into the industry when she is older,” Katie says of her blonde lookalike. “I can see her being an influencer or an actress, but I think all my kids will probably be performers.”

Well, if they take after their mum, it looks like we’re in for some interesting decades ahead...

‘Her cake was gorgeous but it collapsed as the Heating was turned up too High’

Hi Katie, how did things go in parliament and what’s the latest with Harvey’s Law?

We’re waiting to hear the outcome of the hearing, but I stand by my word and I won’t stop fighting this cause against bullies on social media and virtual trolls until Harvey’s Law is passed. Not only to keep my own son Harvey safe, but to protect all those we love who are also at risk. No one is safe until legislation is put in place, so I will keep making a noise about it.

It also sounds like Princess’ 13th birthday was quite dramatic with Harvey falling ill... There is always drama with me but I’m used to it. Basically, Harvey had chest pains during the day, so I panicked that he might have coronavirus. I was also terrified he might be having a heart attack, because he’s high risk due to his obesity. Harvey said he felt like he had needles in his chest, so I called an ambulance and had a friend come and look after the other kids. With Harvey and all his health conditions, you simply can’t mess about.

Did you manage to stay calm?

I always stay really calm in situations like that because I don’t want to worry the kids. Junior and Princess were fine, but poor Bunny was like, “Is Harvey going to be okay?” She was scared when she saw the paramedics attaching all these wires to him, but I explained it all to her. Then when Harvey was taken in the ambulance, Bunny was so cute, she kissed him and said, “Harvey I love you. You’re going to be okay.”

So what happened at the hospital?

They tested for coronavirus, which was negative. Then they ran more tests to check Harvey hadn’t had a heart attack or there was a blood clot. Thankfully, they didn’t find anything wrong. They said it may be a chest infection but he was able to come home that night. He’s okay, but he’ll have a check-up in a few weeks.

Did the scare halt the party?

Princess had opened all her presents, and done some filming for her Youtube channel, so she was happy. It didn’t spoil her day. The party was quite low key because of lockdown, just me and the kids. I did the house up all girly with loads of pink balloons and her cake had the Louis Vuitton logo on. It was gorgeous but it collapsed
