Katie Price makes rare comments on Dwight Yorke as she U-turns on opinion of Harvey's dad

Katie Price has never held back when it comes to sharing her opinion on Dwight Yorke – the absent father of her eldest child Harvey but she now has a different view on him

Katie Price appears to have made a U-turn on her views of Dwight Yorke.

The former glamour model shares her eldest son, Harvey Price, 22, with former footballer Dwight Yorke, 53. Katie, 56, quickly became pregnant with Harvey in 2001 during their very brief romance. Despite once appearing loved-up, things soon soured after it was claimed that Dwight had cheated on her.

Katie had been told while on a photoshoot that her boyfriend had been partying with other women. In 2009, Dwight addressed the allegations and said he wasn't the "perfect partner" during his time with Katie. The two warring exes endured a rocky relationship throughout the rest of her pregnancy, with Dwight denying being Harvey's father until a paternity test prov

ed otherwise. The footballer did turn up to hospital to visit his son, and also put his name on the birth certificate while trying to insist that Harvey should take his surname.

However, Dwight hasn't had the best relationship with his son, with Katie claiming on the Anything Goes with James English podcast that Dwight had only seen his son around nine times in his life. But Katie appears to have forgiven Dwight and somewhat praised him – while taking a swipe at her former ex-boyfriends including Peter Andre and Kieran Hayler.

Speaking about bringing Harvey up as a single mum, Katie said: "He's the only one out of the older ones who will lie and want me to cuddle him, still stroke his head, hold his hand. I know he's a man, but he just loves me. So I am, his absolute life. And obviously I brought him up as a single parent. And in a way, for me that's been the easiest.

"I always say to women, sometimes it's easier to bring them up on your own, especially if you do breakups and you're not sure about if you want to have a continual relationship with the guy." In an unexpected move, she commented on Dwight, adding: "I've had no aggro with Harvey because no dad's been present - the other guys aggro. So for me, being a single parent for Harvey has been a dream."

Despite their strained relationship, Dwight has previously opened up about Harvey and his "love" for his son in his autobiography, Born To Score. Addressing Harvey, he said: "From the moment I set eyes on the little fella, I have loved my son like I could never ever have imagined possible. I am not going to hear anymore that I did not care for Harvey, or have any understanding of his needs or that I was not interested in his welfare.

"Over the years I have heard Katie saying how [Peter] Andre is Harvey's dad and what a terrible, uncaring father I have been, all of which sticks in my throat. Maybe if she had not made life so difficult for me, might have been able to take a far more proactive role." Katie's former husband Peter had wanted to adopt Harvey, leaving Dwight wanting to "throttle" the singer.
