Katie Price shows off painful bandaged nose as Harvey sets Guinness World Record
Katie Price posed with a bandaged nose as her son Harvey set a Guinness World Record.
The 21-year-old, whose dad is ex-footballer Dwight Yorke, was awarded the accolade for the longest drawing of a train.
Proudly holding up his certificate, Harvey smiled at the camera as proud mum Katie put her arm around him.
Her face was wrapped in bandages after undergoing her latest cosmetic procedure – a second nose job.
She is also thought to have had a lip lift and abdominal etching, a form of liposuction to create a six-pack.

Katie attended the event with bandages on her face as she recently had a nose job (PA)Fans have already seen Harvey has a love of trains and drawing from his social media posts and appearances in TV documentaries.
Now living at the National Star College, near Cheltenham, the keen artist spent four weeks drawing the record-breaking 21.3 metre-long picture of his favourite train, the Gatwick Express.
Adjudicators from Guinness World Records then travelled to the college and, with the help of staff, unrolled the drawing in a courtyard to measure it.
After confirming Harvey had indeed set a new world record, they presented him with a certificate in front of his mother, teachers and friends.
He is one of several ‘Mencap myth busters’ who want to challenge misconceptions about learning disability and campaign for change.
Harvey couldn't contain his excitement at being handed his award (PA)Proud mum Katie said: “I’m absolutely thrilled for Harvey. I can’t believe he’s got his own Guinness World Record. It’s fantastic.
“He’s worked so hard on completing his drawing and I think he’s done amazingly well.
“We officially have a Guinness World Record holder in the family and everyone is so happy for him.”
Harvey’s art tutor Louise Adams added: “Harvey worked incredibly hard on this 21-metre train.

“It was a very physical challenge but Harvey demonstrated what a focused young man he is with an impeccable knowledge of trains. We are very proud of Harvey for what he has achieved throughout this challenge.”
The record was achieved under the Guinness World Records impairments initiative, which has been developed alongside Mencap.
It allows reasonable adjustments to be made for record bids to better include people with learning disabilities.
Alison Pike from Mencap said: “Harvey is continuing to bust myths and preconceptions about what it means to live life with a learning disability, and we are delighted that his passion for trains has led to him being a world record breaker.
“We’re looking forward to continuing our work with Guinness World Records to encourage more people with a learning disability to take on a world class challenge. Who knows what weird and wonderful record could be set next.”
