Katie Price has thanked fans for their support as she revealed her disabled son Harvey is in hospital.
Harvey, who suffers from a rare genetic condition called Prader-Willi Syndrome, is set to undergo a "routine operation".
Katie said in a statement to Mirror Celebs: "Harvey is currently in Great Ormond Street Hospital for a routine operation.
"He will hopefully be out in a few days but I wanted to say how touched I am by all those asking about his wellbeing."
Katie Price praised her "brave boy" Harvey
Earlier today the former glamour model and mum-of-five posted a picture to Instagram showing her 13-year-old son wearing a hospital gown.
She wrote: "My brave boy.
Katie later posted a picture showing her cuddling up next to her little boy and wrote: "Love him so much."
Fans were quick to wish him well with one saying: "What a gorgeous boy. I hope you're all ok especially Harvey bless him. He really is a really brave boy, you must be so proud.
Harvey, Katie's son with footballer Dwight Yorke , was diagnosed as blind when he was six weeks old and Katie later discovered he suffered from Prader-Willi syndrome, which affects his behaviour and and makes him constantly want food.
The proud mum recently opened up about the challenges of caring for her eldest son.
The star - who also has sons Junior and Jett, and daughters Princess and Bunny - admitted she worries about being a "failure", as she remains determined to care for her 13-year-old son without respite care.
She told new! magazine: "I just don't want to feel like I'm letting him down while I go and have fun with the others."
Katie also revealed Harvey needs medication six times a day, or "he could die".

The 37-year-old released a list of Harvey's diagnoses last month as she lashed out at people who were directing cruel comments towards him online.

With building blocks like All-Stars Emma Meesseman and Stefanie Dolson in place, the Washington Mystics got a glimpse of what can be a bright future for the franchise in 2015. Meesseman, 22, and Dolson, 23, each enjoyed their best seasons in the WNBA yet.
