Katie Price has shared a brutal Father’s Day post tagging Dwight Yorke, the father of her son Harvey.

The 24-year-old was born shortly after Price split from the former football player.

The former glamour model, 48, has claimed that Yorke has only met their son, who is disabled, a handful of times since he was born, despite her pleas for him to be a part of his life.

To mark Father’s Day, Price celebrated several of the men in her life, including her freshly sprung husband Lee Andrews.

But in an Instagram Story for Yorke, she wrote: ‘You should be ashamed of yourself disowning your son.’

Alongside a photo of the now-football coach holding Harvey as a baby in the bath, she continued: ‘He lights up everyone who meets him, which is a credit to me.

‘If only you treated him the same as your other son, says a lot about what a s*** dad you are… period.’

Yorke has another teenage son, Orlando, who has never met Harvey. Price has speculated the 18-year-old does not know he has a half-brother.

Harvey’s parents had split by the time he was born. Yorke initially denied he was the father, forcing Price to undergo DNA tests to confirm the paternity.

Price went on to repeatedly criticise the former Manchester United player for his treatment of their son, who she has raised alone.

In her 2016 book Reborn, Price alleged that her ex was unwilling to accept their son’s disabilities.

Harvey was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder when he was born. He lives with other health complications, including blindness, due to Septo-optic dysplasia. He is also autistic, has an underactive thyroid and diabetes.

‘I’d explained Harvey’s condition to Dwight many times, but he refused to understand it and kept going on about him being fat,’ she wrote.

Harvey lives with Prader-Willi Syndrome, which means he suffers from a chronic feeling of hunger, so he is prone to putting on weight.

Metro contacted Dwight Yorke’s representatives for comment on this story.
