Katie Price has revealed how her son nearly crushed her partner.

Cage fighter Alex Reid was relaxing in Katie's house when seven-year-old Harvey - who suffers from autism - jumped on his chest, almost breaking the 34-year-old's breastbone. Alex was winded, but suffered no lasting injuries.

"Harvey jumps on me all the time," Alex told the Star newspaper. "He nearly cracked my sternum the other day! He likes to bounce on you. It's a sign of affection, but it was painful! He's always grabbing my hand to go and play with him. It's weird, but nice weird."

Harvey is not the only person who has injured Alex in the past few weeks - he recently got two black eyes during a training session.

"I had a fight with this top guy the other week and he marched up and down the cage and bashed the hell out of me," Alex said. "He gave me black eyes - but afterwards I felt fantastic. The gym is like the Holy Grail to me. Training keeps me sane, it's better than Prozac!"
