Katie Price called ‘the best mum in the world’ after emotional Harvey confession on The One Show

KATIE Price has been hailed 'the best mum in the world' after her appearance on The One Show.

The My Mucky Mansion star took to the BBC One show with a new segment, titled My First Job.

Katie, 44, wants to help her eldest child achieve his dream of getting some independence by securing his first job.

The One Show reported that 86 per cent of people with learning disabilities desire a paid job but don't have one.

The former glamour model got emotional in the raw and revealing segment, as she explained: "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.

"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."

But after meeting others with conditions such as speech problems, including Healthcare Assistant Codie, who is on a work placement at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield, Katie has hope.

She added: "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 gave birth to Harvey - who has Septo-optic Dysplasia, blindness, as well as autism and Prader-Willi syndrome - in 2002 after her relationship with former footballer Dwight Yorke.

And viewers flocked to social media to express just how much they admire the former I'm A Celebrity campmate for her care of her son.

One said: "Love Katie and Harvey's relationship!! Good on them both for wanting more from life for him."

A second exclaimed: "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."

Meanwhile, another penned: "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."

And a fourth wrote: "Two amazing people. Disability shouldn't be seen as a problem! We all can contribute to society!"
