Katie Price's son Harvey smashes door in college despite being 'happy' in new documentary

Katie Price : What Harvey Did Next is just days away from release, and the emotional trailer has finally dropped.

The eye-opening BBC documentary focuses on former glamour model Katie Price, 43, and her 19-year-old son Harvey as he navigates his way through his first weeks in college.

What Harvey Did Next is a coming-of-age story with a difference - and the short teaser trailer allows the audience to feel every frustration and every moment of joy with Harvey as he experiences his first time away from home while studying at the National Star College.

Harvey, who lives with Prader-Willi syndrome, septo-optic dysplasia, autism and a learning disability, can be seen experiencing the highs and lows of his first couple of weeks in University as he says goodbye to his mum Katie in the emotional BBC documentary.

In one short clip, the teenager is seen hugging his mum and telling her that he's happy.

But in the next clip, Harvey is screaming and smashing a door as he appears to be frustrated with something that has happened in his dorm.

Although the scene may suggest that the teenager is incredibly upset, Katie previously admitted that she was 'relived' when she discovered that Harvey had been smashing up his room.

The former glamour model, who shares Harvey, with ex-boyfriend Dwight Yorke, revealed that didn't get upset with her son because his actions meant that he felt 'extremely settled' in his new surroundings.

Harvey, who lives with complex health conditions has previously caused damage in his own home, and the home which he shared with his famous mum.

Harvey secured a place at National Star residential college in Cheltenham last year, and he has been living independently away from Katie and his four siblings for over a year.

Katie lifted the lid on Harvey's outburst in a recent interview with OK! Magazine where she admitted that she felt relieved that Harvey was smashing his belongings because it means that he feels comfortable and content in his new surroundings.

"I said to the staff at the college, 'I'm so happy that he's done all this because now I know he's really settling in'," the proud mum-of-five explained.

Katie went on to reveal that Harvey is in safe hands at the college as the staff look after him around the clock.

"They are now living and breathing what I've had all of these years," she added.

Last January, Katie' first BBC documentary, Katie Price: Harvey And Me, was released to huge critical and audience acclaim, gathering over five million viewers in 30 days on BBC iPlayer.

It fast became the biggest BBC documentary of the period for 16-34 year olds.

Critics also praised the documentary for opening up the conversation about raising disabled children.
