Married At First Sight UK star JJ Slater spent the day caring for Katie Price’s son Harvey while the former glamour model prepared for her stage performance at St Helens Theatre
JJ Slater spent the day looking after Harvey Price and Katie Price’s kittens on Tuesday as the former model focused on her professional commitments during her ongoing tell-all tour with Kerry Katona.
The outing, which included a visit to St Helens Theatre, showcased Married At First Sight UK star JJ stepping in to provide support and care for Harvey, 23, who is blind, autistic, and has septo-optic dysplasia.
Katie, 47, was seen entering the venue ahead of the show, leaving JJ to manage both Harvey and the family’s kittens. Katie’s devoted boyfriend, 32, guided Harvey into the theatre, ensuring he was settled and comfortable before the show began.
Fans and onlookers noted JJ’s attentiveness, with sources describing him as keeping Harvey entertained and engaged while also checking on the kittens, who were brought along for the day.

Later, Harvey joined Katie and Kerry on stage, delighting the audience as he danced along to Kerry singing Atomic Kitten’s hit Whole Again.
Katie’s eldest child, who she shares with estranged ex-partner Dwight Yorke, wore a blue top, grey tracksuit bottoms, and a green bucket hat featuring frog eyes – a nod to his long-standing love of amphibians.
Katie and Kerry held his hands as Harvey danced and moved to the music at the venue, with the audience rising to their feet to join in the special moment. Harvey’s beaming smile and joyful energy was a highlight of the night for crowd-goers who lapped up the family-focused atmosphere.
Following the show, Katie posted on the platform about her eldest son having been there with her. Over a selfie that showed her wearing his green frog hat, she wrote in a post today: “OMG Harvey just absolutely slayed that crowd.”
Katie had previously revealed that Harvey would be joining her on tour. In a post uploaded yesterday, she said: “So today is back to tour day and Harvey’s coming on tour, aren’t you, Harv?” He then expressed excitement over the tour.
The latest tour gig comes following the news that Katie was more than two hours late to her An Evening with Katie Price & Kerry Katona show at the Playhouse in Whitley Bay on Monday. Fans are said to have been “furious” over the situation.
As previously reported, a now-deleted post on the tour page had shared that the show would start at 8pm rather than 7.30pm, citing “technical difficulties”. It’s said to have stated that the delay would help “bring the best show possible”.
Katie, however, is said to have not gone on stage at 8pm, though. Kerry reportedly managed to improvise on her own with her pal appearing on a video call. Katie is said to have been in a car on the way to the venue and told the crowd to expect her at 9.18pm, but it was reportedly 20 minutes later that she arrived.
Upon her arrival, Katie reportedly explained that she was late due to needing to be at home for Harvey. An audience member told the Chronicle that the sound was “very quiet” and “unclear” throughout, before the show ended at around 10.20pm, ahead of a meet and greet opportunity with Katie and Kerry.
A source told the Sun that Kerry was “solo” on stage for the first half of the show and that Katie attempted to join by video, though that’s said to have been a “disaster”. The source said that the show had a “longer interval” and that Katie “finally” arrived at 9.30pm, adding: “She said it was the traffic and had taken her over nine hours to get there, but fans are furious.”
Fans also spoke to the outlet, with one saying: “We want half our money back because it was only half a show – it’s so unprofessional.” Whilst another complained that Katie was on stage for around 30 minutes, adding: “It’s a joke.”
