Katie Price has publicly criticised former footballer Dwight Yorke in a series of Father's Day social media posts, reigniting the long-running discussion surrounding his relationship with their son, Harvey. The television personality used the occasion to express her disappointment over what she claims has been Yorke's lack of involvement in Harvey's life. Harvey, now 24, has autism, Prader-Willi syndrome and septo-optic dysplasia, and has been raised primarily by his mother.

In her posts, Price accused Yorke of failing to maintain a meaningful relationship with his eldest child and suggested he should reflect on his role as a father. The comments quickly attracted attention online, with supporters praising Price for her dedication to Harvey over the years.

The former couple's difficult history has been widely documented. Price has repeatedly stated that Yorke has had little contact with Harvey and has previously claimed their last meeting took place more than a decade ago. Despite her criticism, she has also said on several occasions that the door remains open should Yorke wish to rebuild a connection with his son.

In one post against a blank screen, Katie wrote on Instagram: “Happy S*** Father’s Day to @officialdwightyorke19.” Then in a lengthier caption alongside an old bath pic of Dwight and Harvey as a child, Katie went on an explosive rant. She added: "@officialdwightyorke19 you should be ashamed of yourself disowning your son. @officialharveyprice he lights up everyone who meets him which is a credit to me if only you treated him the same as your other son, says a lot about what a s*** dad you are .. period.”

The issue has surfaced multiple times in recent years, particularly as Harvey has become a well-known public figure through television appearances and campaigns aimed at raising awareness of disability-related issues. Price has often spoken about the challenges and rewards of caring for her son, while continuing to call for greater involvement from his father.

Yorke has previously disputed claims that he does not care about Harvey, writing in his autobiography that he loves his son and has always been concerned about his wellbeing. However, criticism over his absence from Harvey's life has persisted.

The latest comments have once again placed the family's situation in the spotlight, prompting renewed debate among fans and followers. As of Sunday evening, Yorke had not publicly responded to Price's Father's Day remarks.
