The former glamour model, 43, was briefly in a relationship with the former premier league footballer (49), but they broke up soon after Katie became pregnant with her eldest child.

Katie wrote in her book, serialised in The Mirror: ‘I walked over to him and he didn’t really say much – it was so awkward. He hadn’t even bought me a drink! That was Dwight’s typical behavior.
She claimed that he said that he didn’t want the pair of them anymore after she arrived.
She wrote: “Even after that, I was still trying not to give up. I wanted Harvey to have his dad in his life, but he just wasn’t interested in any of it. “This isn’t about me. This is your son, and your flesh and blood.”
‘But he just didn’t give a s**t. There’s only so much you can try before you realise you’re flogging a dead horse. I got up and left and that’s the last time I saw him. I haven’t heard from him since.’

MailOnline reached out for clarification to Katie and Dwight.
Katie has cared for her son who has autism, partial blindness and Prader-Willi Syndrome.
Dwight denied that he was Harvey’s father when Katie fell pregnant with Harvey. However, a DNA test proved that he was paternal.
Dwight had previously attacked Katie in Born To Score 2009, after he claimed she didn’t let him see Harvey.
He wrote: “From the moment I laid eyes upon the little fella. I have loved my boy like I could never have imagined possible. I won’t say anymore that Harvey wasn’t loved, that I didn’t understand his needs or that he was not my concern.
The book excerpt was written by Katie after she had been in rehab for a drink-and drug-related crash.

Katie is now facing jail after pleading guilty for a series of motoring offenses. She has checked into The Priory rehabilitation center to treat her alcohol and drug problems.
The star crashed her BMW, while she was twice the legal drink-drive limit. She had left her home to allegedly search for drugs in an all-night alcohol- and cocaine-fueled binge.
At Crawley Magistrates Court, she was charged with drink-driving and driving while disqualified. She also drove without insurance.
After being charged with driving while impaired, driving in public places without insurance and driving while disqualified, she could face imprisonment.
Katie was informed that her sentencing was deferred for 11 more weeks, until December 15, to allow her to receive treatment at The Priory as well as speak to the probation officer.

Julie Hutton, chair of the bench, told her she could go but advised her to not drive in the interim. She said: ‘You’re free to go and good fortune at the Priory.
The crash occurred after police were called Katie’s Essex residence at 1.30am on August 23, where a suspect was arrested for assault, theft, coercive or controlling behaviour.
Katie was taken to the hospital with bruises on her face and a broken lip.
Katie claimed she was attacked while watching TV, forcing her to flee to the home of Harvey in fear.
Katie reportedly told her friends in August that she couldn’t face the prospect of appearing in court.
Friends of the mother of five told the Sun that she is reportedly’mentally fragile’, and ‘cannot face’ a court appearance.
