Katie Price has revealed the moment her doctor told her son Harvey was blind before leaving her 'in limbo'.
The 45-year-old glamour model took Harvey to a GP when he was just a few weeks old, after a health visitor noticed he struggled to follow a light with his eyes.
Harvey was later diagnosed as blind, autistic, has septo-optic dysplasia and a learning disability, and is one of the 2,000 people in the UK with Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder.
But Katie said was stunned by the treatment she got from the GP during the shocking moment her son was first diagnosed as a baby.
She said on the Anything Goes podcast with James English: 'I remember sitting there with my mum and he [the doctor] was getting all his stuff out looking in his eyes and then suddenly just went, as blatant as this, "yeah he's blind, yeah he's blind".

Now the former glamour model has revealed how she was left completely in 'limbo' by doctors, who offered no advice or support to the young mother
'And me and my mum looked at each other and were like what "is he definitely blind?" And he [the doctor] went "yeah he's blind" and we were like, "right".

'He goes "yeah, so sorry about that" and we just sat there like right. And that was it.
'We just left the room, no like '"oh we can give you advice or there's these people you want to talk to."
'We walked out the room, like that it he's blind, now what? We've just be left in limbo.
'On the way home my mum was really upset and I just couldn't believe he was really blind.'
Harvey now 21 has been diagnosed with multiple disorders including autism, septo-optic dysplasia, Prader-Willi syndrome and blindness.
Katie went on to say how 'it just made me love him more to be honest. I'm going to protect you so much more
'I wouldn't let anyone hold him. I was just like no he is mine.'

When Katie first fell pregnant with Harvey, Dwight denied he was the father until a DNA test proved his paternity.
Asked how many times Manchester United legend Yorke has seen Harvey, Katie responded: 'I think he's seen Harvey about nine times in his life.'
She added that 'I don't think he liked it that I was with Pete [Andre] and claimed: 'I don't know whether it's because he couldn't have me or Harv, to this day I don't know.
'I've tried to send him pictures of Harvey on Instagram, Harvey playing the piano, he just ignores everything. He doesn't want to know. But the door is always open, always.'
Asked why, she explained: 'I don't know, because I'm like that. Really I should say f*** off you a
