In a video shared to Katie’s YouTube channel, a voiceover announced that Harvey is the new ambassador for the UK’s learning disability charity Mencap, where he ‘hopes he will be a voice for those young people like himself.’
While the crowd erupted into applause and cheers, Katie told her son – who is blind and autistic – ‘Harv, listen, all those people are clapping and cheering for you, cos they think you’re fantastic!’
She added: ‘Regardless of what anyone thinks of me, Harvey’s a massive credit to me, he’s a fantastic man – his strength, his courage, and Harvey, you don’t realise how famous you are and how much everyone loves you.’
When asked what his Nan would make of the trophy, he replied: ‘I love it.’

Next week, Harvey will be back on TV screens as his mother opens up about his move to college in new documentary: What Harvey Did Next.
The hour-long feature follows Harvey as he transitions to a more independent life at specialist college National Star in Cheltenham.
Ahead of the show, Katie admitted that letting other people help with Harvey’s care ‘gives her anxiety’, as she lifted the lid on being an ‘absolute full-on, hands-on mother.’
Explaining how ‘sometimes you have to let go and let other people help’, Katie said: ‘It gives me anxiety, because I know him best. I think, “are they going to wash him properly, are they going to give him the right food are they going to help him lose weight, are they going to do his meds?”.
‘All this goes through your mind. It just goes to show that I have let go and he’s become someone else’s responsibility, that is hard, but now that I’ve done it, it is a massive relief.
‘Like I say, I feel like I’ve got a bit of a life back and I’m starting to get used to it now.’
Harvey is on around 25 tablets a day, for, in Katie’s words, to ‘keep him alive, keep him going and for his behaviour.’
The Brighton-born mother-of-five said she is ‘really proud’ of how he’s adjusted without her presence, but made no secret of the challenging aspects of looking after someone with such pressing needs.
