Katie Price dubbed 'the best mum in the world' after poignant confession about Harvey

Katie Price has been dubbed as the 'best mother in the world' by The One Show viewers following her poignant appearance on the BBC One programme this evening.

The former glamour model, 44, appeared on the show alongside her son Harvey, 20, to advocate for people with special needs to be allowed to gain full-time employment like every other members of society who do not live with extra challenges or needs.

Harvey - whose estranged father is retired footballer Dwight Yorke - lives with Septo-optic Dysplasia, as well as autism and Prader-Willi syndrome and his conditions mean that he requires constant care around the clock.

Despite his challenges, Harvey has gained independence in recent years and has even lived away from home while studying in college.

However, his mum Katie still harbours fears that Harvey will never be able to fulfil his goal of nabbing his 'dream job' due to his condition.

During their joint appearance on The One Show, Katie and Harvey explored the barriers faced by young disabled people who are trying to find a job for the first time - and the mum-of-five has been showered with praise following her 'inspiring' motherhood skills when it comes to caring for Harvey and championing his dreams and ambitions.

"Like many other young people with a disability he’s finding it difficult making the transition into adulthood – especially when it comes to getting a job," Katie explained in the eye-opening segment.

"I want nothing more than for Harvey to find his dream job – but because he needs so much support, I worry it won’t be possible."

In the film, the mother-son duo headed to Wakeful to learn about the DFN Project Search - which is a scheme that offers work experience placements to disabled people at various private and public organisations.

Harvey got to meet several people with disabilities and learned about his career options when he finishes college.

"After meeting the families today I realise that Harvey can get a fulfilling job and hopefully he’ll be able to get the independence he desperately strives for," Katie said of the experience.

Following her thoughtful words on the show, The One Show fans flocked to Twitter to gush over Katie's unbreakable bond with Harvey.

"You can say a lot about Katie Price, but nobody can say she's not a good mum. In fact, she seems like the best mum in the world with Harvey," one viewer gushed.

"It's so sweet to see this side of Katie. She is honestly such a good mum and has done so much for Harvey down through the years," another echoed.

While someone else tweeted: "Love Katie and Harvey's relationship!! Good on them both for wanting more from life for him."

"Wow Katie seems like such a sweet mum," another voiced.

Katie brought up Harvey alone after his father, Dwight 'disowned' him when he was just a baby.
