Peter met Katie on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2004 and their whirlwind relationship led to a £1million wedding a year later.
They had two kids together, Junior, 15, and Princess, 13, but the marriage fell apart and they divorced in 2009.
Katie, 43, often speaks highly of her son – who is partially blind, autistic and has Prader-Willi syndrome – on social media, and today she said “he has kept me going – he’s my world”.
The mum-of-five hugged and laughed with her son in a special montage, which she captioned: “Happy Birthday to my absolute world Harvey on his 19th birthday.

“We are a team I love you so much Harvey.”
Katie recently starred in a BBC documentary about raising Harvey and moved viewers to tears with their special bond.

The star gushed over her “unbreakable bond” with her eldest child, saying: “Together we have built our private world, a bond between mother and son which goes deeper than most – we are unbreakable.”
Harvey is a central figure in the family[/caption]Katie opened up about 29st Harvey‘s weight gain last year.
His obsession with food is linked to his disabilities — which make him always feels hungry.
She has been forced to padlock the family fridge to stop him stealing frozen pizzas out of the freezer and eating them raw, and also has to lock the kitchen cupboards.
Doctors have warned that the battle to keep Harvey alive is “critical” — as he could drop dead from a heart attack if he doesn’t lose weight urgently.

Katie has transformed a room in her fiance Carl Woods’ house into a gym for Harvey to exercise.
The teen also suffers from behavioural problems and his mum said last year: “I’ve had to re-plaster my walls.”
She explained Harvey breaks holes in the wall with his head and ‘smashes things’ if she stops him from eating.
Katie added: “It’s a cruel and horrible illness where he feels hungry all the time — and if he doesn’t get food he gets angry. It’s hard work.”
