Peter Andre is preparing to visit Harvey Price in hospital. Harvey, 18, has the rare genetic disorder Prader-Willi Syndrome, is partially blind due to Septo-optic dysplasia, autistic, diabetic and has an underactive thyroid. He was admitted to hospital more than a week ago, after struggling to breathe and was placed in intensive care. Happily, Harvey has now been moved out of ICT, and his condition does seem to be improving.
