Katie Price reveals how many times Man Utd legend Dwight Yorke has seen Harvey

Katie Price has revealed the number of times Man United legend Dwight Yorke has seen his son Harvey.

The glamour model, 45, and the former Premier League footballer, 52, briefly had a romance in 2001 and broke up soon after Katie fell pregnant with her eldest child Harvey, now 21.

When Katie first fell pregnant with Harvey, who has autism, partial blindness and Prader-Willi Syndrome, Dwight denied he was the father until a DNA test proved his paternity.

Now, speaking to podcaster James English, Katie has shed light on the level of contact Yorke has had with Harvey.

Describing the moment she found out her son was blind, she said: 'I remember sitting there with my mum and he [the professor] was getting all his stuff out looking in [Harvey's] eyes and suddenly he just went as blatant as this - "yeah, he's blind."

'We just sat there, like right. And that was it. We just left the room. There was no, oh we could give you advice or there's these people you want to talk to. 

'We walked out like is that it, he's blind. Now what? We've been left in limbo... on the way home my mum was really upset and I just couldn't believe he was really blind.'

Asked how many times Dwight Yorke has seen Harvey, Katie responded: 'I think he's seen Harvey about nine times in his life.'

She added that 'I don't think he liked it that I was with Pete [Andre] and claimed: 'I don't know whether it's because he couldn't have me or Harv, to this day I don't know.

'I've tried to send him pictures of Harvey on Instagram, Harvey playing the piano, he just ignores everything. He doesn't want to know. But the door is always open, always.'

Asked why, she explained: 'I don't know, because I'm like that. Really I should say f*** off you a******* you don't deserve him you've not been part of it because I don't know I just think if he saw Harvey and how amazing he is, for him to be like "f***** hell I haven't seen my biological son".

'Any man can make a baby, but it takes a real man to be a dad in my eyes, but it's still his biological son and, I suppose, to prove him wrong because when he found out he was blind and all of this he was like he'll never play golf, "he'll never play football because of you." And I was like, it's not my fault.'

A representative for Dwight Yorke declined to comment. 

In September last year, Katie lashed out at Yorke in another podcast for the way he behaved when she welcomed their son Harvey into the world.

Discussing the moment she gave birth to Harvey in 2002, she said: 'Dwight turned up at the last minute but he didn't want to come in the room or cut the cord so dad did it, he cut the cord.'

Katie continued: 'And anyway I remember Dwight saying "oh there's a bruise" and I thought 'don't insult me.'

'That was the last time I sort of saw Dwight, I didn't see him many times after that.'

Amazingly, Katie's mother Amy revealed 'womaniser' Dwight is her favourite of her daughter's former partners.

She made the surprising admission in her autobiography, The Last Word, while recounting Katie's ill-fated relationship with the footballer.

An extract from her book read: 'When Kate told me she was dating Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke, my heart sank. He had a reputation as a womaniser.

'But of all the men Kate has dated in her life, Dwight will – perhaps surprisingly – always be my favourite because he gifted us this incredible child.'

Following her split from Dwight, Katie struck up a romance with singer Peter Andre after meeting on I'm A Celebrity in 2004, who helped raise Harvey.

The couple also had two children; son Junior, 18, and Princess, 15, before they split in 2009.

Admitting she was on the 'rebound' Katie started dating cage fighter Alex Reid, 47, a mere eight weeks after her split from Pete. 

Following a whirlwind romance the pair wed in Las Vegas in January 2010 but the marriage fell apart less than a year later.

Two years later Katie fell for Argentinian model Leandro, 37, after meeting him at Elton John's Oscars party in LA.

Revealing she bedded him on the first night, the pair went on to get engaged before they split in 2012.

Later that year, Katie met part-time stripper and plasterer Kieran, who is nine years her junior.

The pair exchanged vows a mere five weeks later with Katie already pregnant with the couple's first son Jett.

However, in 2017 the pair announced they were going to divorce, three years after she found out about Kieran's affairs with her friends Jane Poutney and Chrissy Thomas.

Now, Katie is reported to be in a romance with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater.
