Katie Price comforted by new boyfriend Carl Woods as son Harvey battles illness in intensive care
KATIE Price is being comforted by new boyfriend Carl Woods as her son Harvey remains in intensive care battling illness.
The 42-year-old was pictured holding hands with Carl, 31, as they picked up some supplies from a pet store.
Katie couldn't be missed in a neon green minidress as she smiled by Carl's side.
The car dealer led the way in a grey vest and matching shorts as they popped into the shop.
Katie called Carl her "stallion" last night after saying goodnight to seriously ill son Harvey in hospital.
The mum-of-five paid him the compliment underneath a selfie he posted on Instagram.
She wrote: "Said goodnight to @officialmrharveyprice and see you soon my chosen stallion."
Katie followed the gushing comment with a jokey vomit emoji and tears of laughter.
However, it did not appear for long as Carl soon deactivated comments on the picture and they disappeared.
The new couple have known each other for years but were set up by a mutual friend around a month ago, and have been secretly dating ever since.
Last night Katie confirmed that Harvey does not have coronavirus, but he is remaining in intensive care due to his "complex" medical condition.
The worried mum heaped praise on her 18-year-old son in an Instagram post, calling him a "brave fighter".
The 42-year-old star also revealed that she was able to visit the teen as she thanked fans for their messages of support.
Sharing a photo of herself and Harvey at a red carpet event, with Harvey's arm wrapped around his famous mum, Katie wrote: "Hey everyone thank you again for your messages means a lot to me .
"I’ve left the hospital for the evening and can confirm Harvey is still in intensive care , despite claims, he has not got Covid like reported , his medical condition remains complex .
"I love him so much , he is so brave and fighter".
Her ex-husband Kieran Hayler showed his support, commenting on the post: "Strongest boy I know."
Harvey was rushed to hospital at the weekend after his temperature shot up to 42C.
On Monday, The Sun Online revealed that the teen was being tested for Covid-19 while he remained in ICU as he was having trouble breathing.
Katie told fans that she was struggling with not being able to stay at her oldest child's bedside due to restrictions in place due to the coronavirus pandemic.
She said that Harvey was "comfortable" but his condition remained serious, writing at the time: "I can confirm Harvey still in intensive care , he is more comfortable, it’s hard as due to limited visiting hours and COVID I can’t be by his bed side , but he is being brave and strong , and able to face time him , I’ve let him know he has so much love and support and thank you 🙏 ❤️❤️."
The update came after it was revealed Katie is furious Harvey's dad, retired footballer Dwight Yorke, has failed to get in touch.
Former Man Utd striker Dwight didn’t contact ex Katie to get an update on his son’s health - but did call into a radio station to speak about Manchester United’s performance against Southampton last night.
Two of Katie's ex husbands - Peter Andre and Kieran - have both posted on Instagram that they are praying for their former stepson.
