KATIE Price fans slammed Dwight Yorke tonight for abandoning his son Harvey as they watched him blossoming.
The 19-year-old was filmed as he settled into life in his own flat within a residential college for his latest documentary What Harvey Did Next.
Viewers were overwhelmed with emotion about how well he was doing and how brave he was being, but struggled to understand how his father has nothing to do with him.
Taking to Twitter to discuss his absence, one person wrote: “Dwight yorke has missed out on a wonderful young man which his mother has raised single hand idly #whatharveydidnext.”
A second added: “Dwight Yorke you’re an absolute disgrace #whatharveydidnext.”
While a third remarked: “There’s a special place reserved in hell for Dwight Yorke.”
Harvey, 19, has septo-optic dysplasia, Prader-Willi Syndrome, autism and has the cognitive understanding of a seven-year-old, with Katie raising him mostly as a single mother.
Yorke dated Katie briefly in 2001 and they reportedly broke up shortly after Katie fell pregnant.
When Harvey was born former Manchester United footballer Dwight denied being the dad until tests proved otherwise.
But following a paternity test in 2002 the pair reconciled.
They soon split and Dwight and Harvey’s relationship fizzled out.
Over the years Katie has spoken out about Dwight’s lack of involvement in their son’s life.
Writing in her book Harvey and Me, Katie claimed Dwight always blamed her for not seeing him.
She exclaimed: “When I did Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins in 2020 I was on the show with former footballer John Fashanu, who sometimes plays golf with Dwight.
“I was talking about Harvey to him and he was shocked when I told him that Dwight doesn’t want to see him.
“So Dwight obviously doesn’t tell people the full story. I always think that people who are around Dwight surely must say things to him about Harvey and tell him to get in touch. It’s so weird I can’t get my head around it.”
