Katie Price’s boyfriend JJ Slater was seen stepping up as a carer for her son Harvey during the latest stop of her chaotic tell-all tour with Kerry Katona.
The Married At First Sight UK star, 32, spent the day looking after Harvey, 23, who is blind, autistic, and lives with septo-optic dysplasia. While Katie prepared for her performance at St Helens Theatre, JJ not only guided Harvey but also tended to the family’s kittens, who were brought along for the outing.
In a recent statement, JJ openly said, “If the boy’s father won’t claim him, then I will — he will be my son.”
Onlookers praised JJ’s attentiveness, with many noting how he kept Harvey entertained and comfortable before the show began. Later, Harvey joined Katie and Kerry on stage, where he delighted the crowd by dancing to Atomic Kitten’s Whole Again. Katie and Kerry held his hands as the audience rose to their feet, creating a heart-warming family moment that left fans cheering.
Katie proudly shared a selfie wearing Harvey’s signature frog-eyed green bucket hat, writing: “OMG Harvey just absolutely slayed that crowd.”
Despite the wholesome scenes, the tour has faced heavy criticism. Just a day earlier, Katie sparked fury by arriving more than two hours late to a different gig in Whitley Bay, leaving Kerry to hold the stage alone. Some fans branded the shows “unprofessional,” with audience members demanding refunds after Katie only performed for around 30 minutes on certain nights.
Still, JJ’s growing bond with Harvey has not gone unnoticed. Sources close to the couple say JJ and Harvey have developed a “sweet connection,” with JJ seen guiding him gently into the theatre in what fans described as a “touching” moment.
