Let me see my son, Yorke tell Price
Former footballer Dwight Yorke claimed today he had not seen or spoken to the son he had with Katie Price in a year.
The one-time Manchester United striker is currently promoting his book 'Dwight Yorke: The Offficial Biography'.
He said he wanted to play a role in seven-year-old Harvey’s upbringing, but had not been “given the opportunity”.
He told BBC Radio 5’s 'Simon Mayo' programme he would try to have more contact now Price had divorced her husband Peter Andre.
“I would like to play an integral part in his upbringing, of course, I love my kid but wasn’t given the opportunity to really bring him up in the manner I would like to bring him up in,” he said.
“I haven’t spoken to, I have haven’t seen him in a year.”
Yorke said there was a “misconception” about him being a bad father to Harvey, who is blind.
“For seven years I’ve had to bear all of this and I think enough is enough,” he said.
“We tried to sit around a table on numerous occasions and for some reason that never materialises at all.
“I’m going to try and make inroads again now that the relationship [Price and Andre] is over, I’ve gone down the legal route before and I was entitled to see him for a certain period of time and a certain time but she calls all the shots.”
