Katie Price has revealed that Harvey has landed an eight-part train series with the BBC, and while the media personality is proud of her son, she isn’t ‘interested’ in the topic.
Harvey impressed BBC bosses when he starred in the documentary Katie Price: Harvey and Me with his mother, in which audiences saw his love of trains really shine.
Now the 18-year-old – who has autism and Prader-Willi Syndrome – will soon head off on adventures with his best friend Zack, who both share a love of trains, for the new series.
Zack was first seen in the documentary about Katie and Harvey, with the two friends marvelling at trains coming in and out of London’s Waterloo Station.
The pair charmed audiences and now the pair will reunite for the new documentary series for the BBC.
Katie spoke to Community Living magazine about the exciting opportunity for her son.

‘The BBC have offered Harvey and his friend Zac an eight-part series on trains and automobiles. There will be some gorgeous trains like the Bluebell Railway,’ she said.
‘I am not interested in bloody trains. Me and Jaenette (Zac’s mum) will be sitting there having our tea and sandwiches saying “what are we bloody doing here on a train station?” But, as long as they are happy, that’s what matters.’
A source previously told The Sun that the plan is to follow the friends and film their experiences together.
‘It will also raise awareness and give hope to kids with disabilities,’ they said.

‘It’s a positive and inclusive move. They get on really well together and enjoy being on camera.’
After their appearance on screen in late January, Network Rail announced they are inviting the pair to make announcements together once Covid restrictions have lifted.
