Katie Price blasts Dwight Yorke in damning Father’s Day post over son Harvey
Katie Price has hit out at Dwight Yorke with a brutal Father’s Day post.
The mum-of-five and the former footballer had a brief relationship in the early 2000s which resulted in the birth of their son, Harvey.
Alongside a photo of the ex United forward holding Harvey as a baby, she wrote: "@officialdwightyorke19 you should be ashamed of yourself disowning your son @officialmrharveyprice.
"He lights up everyone who meets him which is a credit to me if only you treated him they same as your other son, says a lot about what a s**t dad you are... period."

Harvey was born with a rare genetic disorder and lives with health complications, including blindness, due to Septo-optic dysplasia. He is also autistic, has an underactive thyroid and diabetes.
In 2016 book Reborn, Price alleged that Yorke 'refused' to accept Harvey and be a part of his life.
"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.
However, in 2009 book Born to Score, Dwight denied claims he had abandoned Harvey: “From the moment I set eyes on the little fella, I have loved my son like I could never ever have imagined possible.
“I am not going to hear any more that I did not care for Harvey, or have any understanding of his needs or that I was not interested in his welfare.”
Price - who has a lot to say about her husband Lee Andrews' release from prison - recently revealed she is back living with Harvey, now 24, after 'hating' life at college.
“I think people are noticing I’ve got Harvey here more than I normally do. Normally he’s in Cheltenham,” she said on The Katie Price Show.
Harvey has attended a specialist education college for young people with complex disabilities, having enrolled at the residential college in Cheltenham in 2021 before his funding was cut in 2024.
Katie explained: “We’re still waiting for his next placement. They’re saying next month and that’s up the road from me.
“But where he is in Southampton, he just doesn’t like being there.
“When he’s there, he texts me, ‘I hate it here, Mum. I just need you. I want your cuddles, hold my hand’.
“And it pulls on your heart. So I’ve got him here and it’s hard because I’m working and his carer at the same time.”
