The seven-year-old was taken to hospital in Surrey by Katie's mother Amy and a nanny on Wednesday morning after waking with a high temperature and flu-like symptoms, and the star and her ex-husband Peter dashed to be at his side.

Katie's spokesman said: "Harvey woke up on Wednesday with a very high temperature and flu-like symptoms so he was taken to hospital, as he always would be with such symptoms because of his disabilities."

The spokesman added: "Doctors decided to keep him in hospital overnight for observation as a precautionary measure because of his underlying health problems.

"Katie was in touch with Peter from the moment it was decided to take Harvey to hospital and Peter visited Harvey in hospital.

"Katie also informed Harvey's biological father Dwight Yorke of the situation."

Harvey is partially sighted and suffers from severe autism.

Peter, 36, cancelled a visit to turn on the Christmas lights at a London store to visit the hospital.

His divorce from the 31-year-old glamour model, aka Jordan, was finalised last month.
