Katie Price has admitted as a young woman she probably would have had an abortion for son Harvey, if she had been aware of his disability before he was born.

Katie's eldest son, 13-year-old Harvey, was born with a rare genetic condition known as Prader-Willi syndrome and also suffers from ADHD, autism and blindness.

On Tuesday's Loose Women, the mum-of-five bravely admitted she was not prepared for what life was like caring for child with a disability and said “I was young when I had Harvey and I admit it, If I’d have known he was blind when I had him, as harsh as it sounds, I probably would have aborted him."

Katie went on to declare her decision would have been based on fear and is happy she did not go through with it.

The former glamour model showed her support to anybody who finds themselves in a similar situation by saying "Anyone who’s a carer, mother, anyone dealing with disabilities, I have so much respect because I know what goes into it."

After the interview aired, many viewers took to Twitter to show their support, including outspoken presenter Piers Morgan who expressed his support calling her a ‘great mum.’
