“Prep Kitchen will also be sending meals to his school. We want to try everything to help him lose his weight. He’s lost 4kg this week, so at least he’s lost something.’

Car salesman Carl, 31, recently explained how he and the mother of five transformed one of his rooms with fitness equipment for Harvey.

The one-time Love Island star told The sun: “Kate and I outfitted my garage with gym equipment, and it’s all for Harvey.

“He likes to do things with me and Kate. If he sees us doing that I think he will do the same with us.”

Carl went on to explain that the blonde beauty is “all about Harvey about his diet and exercise” and insisted that she has an extremely “tough job.”

The TV star has taken drastic measures by locking the fridge to prevent her child from looting food from the appliance.

She described his condition as a “cruel and terrible disease” and revealed that Harvey is constantly hungry and loses his temper if he is not fed.

The former Loose Women panelist added to the publication: ‘He’ll break things if you say no. I had to re-plaster my walls because he punches holes in them with his head. He knows what good things taste like.’

WHAT IS PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME?

Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that causes problems including constant urges to eat food, stunted growth, and decreased muscle tone.

Other potential problems include learning disabilities, lack of sexual development, and behavioral problems such as tantrums or stubbornness.

The rare condition, which affects one in 15,000 children born in England, is caused by a defect on chromosome number 15 – and happens by chance.

Because there is no cure, treatment focuses on managing the symptoms — urging patients’ parents to feed their children a healthy, balanced diet.

Children with the syndrome can eat up to six times more than children of the same age – and still be hungry.
