He has had no presence in Harvey’s life. Why isn’t this repeatedly in the media as to how atrocious this is? Misogyny at its finest or something else?

Noone cares about Dwight Yorke, he's a complete has-been. The less said about Katie Price the better. The way she behaves around that disabled son of hers is extremely concerning.

IkeaJesusChrist · 10/08/2025 16:07

Neither of them are what I would call parent of the year.

Maybe it's about time that Katie took ownership of some of the decisions she has made about certain men and other life decisions.

He paid for Harvey until he was 18 and he also paid her mum a good wage to be his nanny.

He did want to see him but as is usual with KP she put so many road blocks in the way he eventually gave up.

She has never parented him alone she has always had nanny's or carers. Even now he has 2 carers with him at all times, she wheels him out when she needs press or deflection from something she has done and people go "oh shes such a good mum" when actually she is a terrible mum. She has lost custody of 4 of the kids from court proceedings and can only have supervised access to the younger 2.

The diet she feeds Harvey is appalling. Just look on her Instagram and see the portion sizes and crap she feeds him to keep him quiet and compliant. This is why he is the size he is, not down to PW Syndrome it is the crap she feeds him.

Dwight Yorke isn't the only one who has done this. Jack P Shepherd cheated on the mother of his children and had a child with another woman. The child is disabled. JPS pays but doesn't see his son.

What?? Omg

I KNEW I was right to throughly dislike him on CBB!

Tbf, I didnt know that he paid out for Harvey

He's still scum for abandoning a disabled child, but at the same time, I can't help but think he did the best thing for the boy and left him with his mum who loved him

She is flawed but I think she loves Harvey 🥺

bostonchamps · 10/08/2025 16:09

Katie wasn't 'dealt' Yorke, he isn't a playing card. She chose to have sex with him.

Yorke is a scummy man who, like many many many men, has not been any kind of decent parent.

Those two facts can exist in parallel.

StrictlySequinsandStiIettos · 10/08/2025 16:10

You can add Owen Wilson to the list.
Pays for but will not see his daughter.

I assume these "fathers" asked the mums to get an abortion. When they did not comply, the response was fiscal only and you're on your own.

She wasn’t dealt them, she chose them.

But she didnt know how awful dwight would be towards his son

I was so disappointed when he won Celebrity Big Brother back in April. Clearly most people don’t know what he’s really like.

She should probably have spend a bit more time getting know him then before having unprotected sex with him.

That's unnecessarily harsh

So he abandons his son and its her fault?!

She is very very flawed but to blame her blames women across the world who are abandoned by their man once the disabled kid comes along

Oh, David Platt guy, just got married?
I was amazed he won full stop. He was just there.
But I followed that series, and am prone to sleb twaddle, and had no idea he had a kid he paid for but did not see. Amazed that didn't come up either in the press or on here at the time.
Mr Reggae Reggae sauce Levi Roots and others had stories printed. Unless the mother said keep my child out of this, so GDPR, he got off lightly.

Had no idea

I did know about Chris Pratt and his 'healthy child' comment

Not sure if he plays any role in his disabled sons life, who's mother is the stunning anna faris

I stand by what I said.
For the record, he's a terrible father, and I think an awful person.

She must take some responsibility for who she has sex with, for her own contraception and the outcome.

Nowhere did I say it's her fault that he abandoned his son. But she must take some responsibility for getting pregnant by a man she barely knew.

Yanbu!

I've another thread but I find it hard to hate Katie price, given the men shes been dealt

Whats his career like now though, does he do anything? I havent really seen him in the press

The men she’s been dealt? Dealt?? Men aren’t cards in a pack you just have to accept in a hand of poker. You are allowed to reject them.

I’ve told truck loads of men like Dwight Yorke to fuck off when they’ve approached me in clubs. I’ve been on dates that have led to nowhere because I chose not to continue. I’ve dumped men after six months because they weren’t the one.

No woman has to be dealt a man. Because I’ve got a brain and two eyes and have a modicum of intelligence I can choose which men remain in my life.

Katie has been a millionaire since her early twenties, she could have more independence than most women. But her self esteem has always been so low she accepts shitty behaviour from loser men. It’s like any bloke is better than no bloke.

"Actor Jack has apparently never met his son, the star does pay maintenance after he learned that he was Greyson's dad following a DNA test.
Ever since the birth – after which Greyson battled for his life in intensive care in Rotherham General Hospital, South Yorks – Sammy has been a single mum. The former model now leads a quiet life with her son as its focus.
Jack has apparently never met his son, the star does pay maintenance after he learned that he was Greyson's dad following a DNA test.
David Platt actor Jack is already the father to two children, Nyla and Reuben, with his fiancée Lauren.
Back in 2014, Sammy opened up about her disappointment over Jack's alleged refusal to meet his son
She told The Mirror: "His father has not been in his life. I don’t know why because we don’t speak but I imagine it’s that he’s not wanted to.
“I would like my son to have a father in his life but how can you feel sad for something he’s never had? I guess it’s sad in itself to say that.”

And after all this he dumped his fiancee and married someone else.

youreactinglikeafunmum · 10/08/2025 15:56

Did dwight at least pay for Harvey? I cant remember

I suppose if you dont wanna be a dad, fine. But it seems to me it was about his disability, which makes me sad 🥺

Apparently Harvey’s grandmother Amy was paid by Dwight to help. I can’t imagine Katie Price is an easy person to deal with, it was common knowledge that she wouldn’t let Peter Andre have any contact with Harvey when they split. I do hope Dwight tried everything he could to be in his son’s life. Although we’ll never know.

@FenderStrat why and how is Dwight’s relationship with his son in any way Katie’s responsibility?

OP posts:
SemperIdem · 10/08/2025 16:27

This has been well covered over the years. He pays for Harvey. He didn’t want a relationship with him, this was the case before his disability was diagnosed. Before Harvey was even born. Katie Price was sleeping with Gareth Gates whilst pregnant so she and Dwight were very much not in a relationship.

Men cannot force women to terminate babies just because they don’t want them. However men also cannot be forced to parent the children they didn’t want, cases such as Dwight Yorke, Jack P Shepherd, Liam Gallagher, Owen Wilson, Jude Law demonstrate this well but it is also pretty commonplace amongst non celebrities too.

He's just like his his character in Coronation Street - a jumped up little sh!t. A lot of people think he is funny and a great character.

What makes a man 'like' dwight yorke, at first sight on a night out?

Above all, Katie is vulnerable. That much is clear from the reportings of her mental health

So yeah, some vulnerable women are dealt shit men. These shit men love to take advantage and act nice at first and then claim the awful woman is to blame for their actions

I'm not saying she is innocent, far from it. But yes, along with the shitty choices she has made, she has been dealt some shitty men.
