After revealing she’s considering putting her disabled son Harvey into care, Katie Price is crushed that none of her five children will live with her full time

Katie Price made the heart-wrenching announcement last week that she was considering putting her disabled son Harvey into residential care for the safety of her other four children, after revealing how he’s smashed windows, TVs and eight iPads in her house - and says she can no longer cope full-time with his needs.

The mum-of-five appeared on the Victoria Derbyshire show alongside eldest son Harvey, 16 - who suffers from blindness, autism and Prader-Willi syndrome, which affects his speech and movement, and also causes constant hunger.

Would you LOOK at baby Junior? Blue and green should never be seen but throw a cute orange baby into the mix, and somehow it just works, you know?

Peter's wardrobe during this time seemed to mainly consist of badly tailored suits in a range of colours that he matched to accents of Katie's outfit. In this case, it was her thong.

Katie and Peter attended the premier of Paris Hilton's dramatic debut House of Wax in 2005, when Katie was heavily pregnant with Junior.Peak Jordan and Pete – 10 points.

She said: "For the first time ever, I’m thinking he might have to go residential Monday to Friday. I’m really having to think about it but I hate it because he’s my life.

"The kids can be scared as he’s big so I have to think of them… He’s missing out on his education, he knows if he kicks off in the morning the driver won’t take him to school. So he’s sussed that out and he wants to spend all his time with me.

"I’m literally on my own and it can be lonely, I don’t know if any of the other parents can give me advice."

The former glamour model recently said how quiet it is in the house with just her and Harvey when her other children - Junior, 13, Princess 11, Jett, five and Bunny four - are with their respective dads, Peter Andre and Kieran Hayler.

She admitted: "The sad thing about it all is that it always ends up just being me and Harvey... It's always me and Harvey, because obviously I split the kids and share.

"It's boring because he goes to bed at half six. So I sit there and I'm like 'Oh'."

Meanwhile, Junior and Princess have been living with their dad Pete and his wife, Emily MacDonagh, 29, since last summer due to Katie's "wild behaviour" in the wake of her separation from love-rat Kieran, with whom her two youngest are regularly pictured. And pals say the reality star is struggling without all her kids living with her full-time.

Sources have previously revealed to Closer that Katie constantly worries she's "been replaced" and fears Kieran is now planning to gain custody of Jett and Bunny.

The source adds: "Katie thrives on the craziness of the kids running round the house singing and dancing, so to know she’ll wake up to silence is daunting.

"If Harvey does go into care, some weeks it could just be her home alone and that’s scary for her. She can't believe she's at the point now where she's virtually lost all five of her children - the thought of it is killing her."
