Katie Price has shared a loving video of her with son Harvey after she was criticised for leaving him in his hotel room while on holiday.
The model and author, 43, is currently enjoying a luxurious break at the pricey Royalton resort on the Caribbean island with fiance Carl Woods, 19-year-old Harvey, and daughter Princess, 13, who she shares with ex-husband Peter Andre.
But eagle-eyed followers on social media spotted that Katie’s eldest son, who suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome and is autistic, was barely in the photos she and Carl had been sharing on Instagram.
On Friday, Katie posted a sweet video of Harvey, whose dad is former footballer Dwight Yorke, expressing his delight at being on holiday at the sunny five-star resort.
“Harv, I love you,” she told her son, as he snuggled up to her.
“Do you love being on holiday?” Katie asked, as Harvey replied: “Yeah, it’s absolutely wicked.”
She then gently kissed her eldest child, and told him again that she loved him, prompting Harvey to tell her: “I love you too, a lot.”
Earlier this week, Katie’s fiance Carl took to Instagram to explain why Harvey had been missing from photos the couple had been sharing on social media.

The former car salesman revealed that because of the teenager’s autism, he needs safe spaces and familiar surroundings, meaning that he’s opted to stay in his room as that’s where he feels most comfortable.
“Having autism, it means you are nervous of new environments. Therefore Harvey likes to stay in his safe place,” Carl began.
“This means he likes being in his own room with his own pool which he has (we all stay in his room to have room service).”

Carl, who began dating Katie last year, has previously shared snaps of Harvey on holiday, with one showing the teenager splashing about in a swimming pool.
He also posted a video of an overjoyed Harvey boarding a helicopter to their luxury resort, and the teen appeared in a snap in the swimming pool alongside mum Katie and sister Princess.
The trip to St Lucia is Katie’s fourth holiday abroad in just two months.
Since the end of May, Katie and Carl have jetted off to Portugal, Turkey and Spain, before deciding on a last-minute trip to the Caribbean island.

A room at the all-inclusive Royalton hotel resort costs £248 per night, and includes nine gourmet restaurants, where guests can feast on Japanese, Italian, West Indian and Mexican cuisine.
Katie has been criticised for going abroad during the Covid-19 pandemic, and in June, she flew to Turkey to undergo numerous cosmetic procedures, including liposuction, eye and lip lifts, and fat injected into her bum.
During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, she defended her decision to go abroad for the surgery, and insisted she’d stuck to government protocol.

“I had two Covid jabs, did all my PCR tests, you have to follow protocol.
“I knew going to a red country I’d literally be in hospital, then we flew to an amber country and stayed in a villa in the middle of the hills away from everyone, then came home.
“We didn’t muck about at all, it’s serious – and it’s hard work to do a red country, and I wouldn’t have done it if I hadn’t had two jabs.”
