The glamour model is also going to be doing promotional work in America for her recent Playboy cover and will probably stay at Hugh Heffner’s mansion. She has vowed to carry on working so that she can afford an operation and the best care there is for baby Harvey.

Jordan admitted that when she first heard the news she asked if it was her fault, if her lifestyle had caused his blindness. The doctors have told her she is not to blame and that it’s simply a tragic accident. However, A spokesman for the Royal National Institute for the Blind said "Maternal factors seem to play a role as optic nerve hypoplasia has been linked to high alcohol intake during pregnancy, as has certain drugs such as cocaine."

It will never be known what caused Harvey’s blindness, but the fact that Jordan’s late night outs during her pregnancy were so well documented by the press must mean that many will see it as her fault.

Jordan may face some criticism now but surely the overriding feeling will be one of deep sympathy - no one would wish this on her.

Jordan said "I’m a young single mum bringing up a child with a disability. But he’ll be loved and adored and he’ll grow up to be a great man."

Jordan gives birth - 27/04/02
In a storyline that’s seen more ups and downs than an Olympic pole vaulting contest, Jordan and Dwight Yorke’s twelve day overdue son Harvey was delivered at the Royal Sussex County Hospital on May 27th at 1.15am. Her mother Amy, along with her best friend Sally Cairns, were by her bedside at the time of going to press.

The birth, originally intended to be broadcast live on the net, a strange prospect seeing as Jordan had sworn never to do ’frontal’ (surely live birth’s about as frontal as you can get), had been induced sixteen hours earlier. The baby has been named Harvey after her grandfather (not Nichols, Keitel or Wallbanger), and weighs 8lb 7oz.

Yorke, who’s famous for playing away, recently told Jordan that he’d be coaching football in Australia during his son’s birth, but yesterday made a last minute dash back to the UK so as to be present for Harvey’s arrival. Only the deeply cynical would point out that the Man U star’s seemingly ’spontaneous’ turnaround comes hot on the heels of Jordan’s latest claims that she would sue him for maintenance payments as a result of his proposed no-show.

More tears in the Jordan/Yorke baby saga - 24/05/02
Jordan, aka Katie Price - former enfant terrible of Blatchington Mill School, is threatening to sue her baby’s father, Man-U star Dwight Yorke, after he changed his phone number and asked the heavily pregnant ’Page 3 stunner’ to travel all the way to London just so he could tell her that he wouldn’t be around for the baby’s birth.

Branding him ’a tight git’, Jordan claims that this kind of behaviour from her sex-mad footie ex proves that he can’t be relied upon to provide the maintenance payments she is seeking. "I think he is an idiot," states the collagen queen. "It’s a shame I’m having his kid really." Nice one Jordan. One all?
