Katie Price has hit out at ex-boyfriend Dwight Yorke for the way he behaved as she welcomed their son Harvey into the world.
The glamor model, 45, and the former Premier League footballer, 51, briefly romanced in 2001 and split shortly after Katie became pregnant with her eldest child Harvey, now 21.
When Katie first became pregnant with Harvey, Dwight denied he was the father until a DNA test proved his paternity.
He is believed to have no contact with their son, who has autism, partial blindness and Prader-Willi syndrome.
In her latest podcast about the moment she gave birth to Harvey in 2002, she explained: ‘Dwight showed up at the last minute but he didn’t want to come into the room or cut the cord, so daddy did it, he cut the cord. ‘

Katie continued, “And by the way, I remember Dwight saying, ‘Oh, there’s a bruise,’ and I was like, ‘Don’t insult me.’
‘That was the last time I saw Dwight, I didn’t see him much after that.
“I found it (the mark) and it’s called a Mongolian blue spot, it eventually fades.”
It comes after Katie’s mum Amy has revealed that ‘womanizer’ Dwight is her favorite of her daughter’s former partners.
She made the surprising admission in her upcoming autobiography, The Last Word, as she recounted Katie’s ill-fated relationship with the footballer.
However, Amy revealed that despite this, he still holds a special place in her heart.
An excerpt from her book, published in The sun, read: ‘When Kate told me she was dating Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke, my heart sank. He had a reputation as a womanizer.
“But of all the men Kate has had in her life, Dwight will – perhaps surprisingly – always be my favorite because he gave us this incredible child.”
Amy told how Dwight wouldn’t show up for scans or baby classes with her and ‘told her his friends thought she was just keeping the baby to get his money.”
As the athlete showed up for the birth, Amy revealed that his agent told him not to register the birth with Katie before getting a DNA test, noting: ‘wWhat should have been a beautiful memory was spoiled by this cynicism.’

Katie’s 2021 memoir, Katie Price: Harvey and Me, details the model how Dwight apparently refused to see Harvey after the child asked to see his father at a meal in the Cheshire village of Alderley Edge.
Katie wrote: ‘I walked up to him and he didn’t really say much – it was so awkward. He didn’t even buy me a drink! But that was typical Dwight.’
She claimed that after her arrival he said he didn’t want to see the couple anymore.
The book said, “Even after he said that, I still tried to be persistent. I wanted Harvey to have his father in his life, but he just wasn’t interested in that. ‘This isn’t about me. This is your son and your flesh and blood,’
“But he just didn’t care. There’s only so much you can try before you realize you’re flogging a dead horse. I got up and left and that was the last time I saw him. I haven’t heard from him since.’
Dwight previously lambasted Katie in his own book Born To Score in 2009 after claiming she didn’t let him see Harvey.
He wrote: ‘From the moment I saw the little guy, I have loved my son like I never thought possible. “I’m not going to hear anymore that I didn’t care about Harvey, or have any understanding of his needs, or that I wasn’t interested in his well-being.”

Katie later struck up a romance with singer Peter Andre 50, after meeting on I’m A Celebrity in 2004 and the pair married in 2006 and he helped raise Harvey.
The couple also had two children; son Junior, 18, and Princess, 15, before splitting in 2009.
Admitting she was on the ‘rebound’, Katie started dating cage fighter Alex Reid, 47, just eight weeks after her split from Pete.
After a whirlwind romance, the couple married in Las Vegas in January 2010, but the marriage fell apart less than a year later.
Two years later, Katie fell for Argentinian model Leandro, 37, after meeting him at Elton John’s Oscars party in LA.
When she revealed she slept with him on the first night, the couple became engaged before splitting in 2012.
Later that year, Katie met part-time stripper and plasterer Kieran, who is nine years her junior.
The couple exchanged vows just five weeks later, with Katie already pregnant with the couple’s first son, Jett.
However, in 2017, the couple announced they were divorcing, three years after learning about Kieran’s affairs with her friends Jane Poutney and Chrissy Thomas.
In July 2019, Katie announced she was re-engaged to personal trainer Kris Boyson, 34, after a year of dating.
The reality star – who was still legally married to third husband Kieran at the time – made the shocking announcement during an appearance on Loose Women.
However, their engagement was short-lived as the couple split in November that year, with Katie admitting to Kris that she was cheating on him.
The reality star found love with Carl in July 2020 and they got engaged the following year.
However, the pair have split several times since then, with their latest split only announced earlier this month.
