A second agreed: “You could always tell she had a great relationship with Harvey.”
A third added: “Totally agree with you, what a woman and mother she is!”
Sadly, Katie missed a place as the list was previously released on December 30, 2020.
The reality star’s eldest son, 18, has autism and struggles with the excessive appetite caused by his genetic condition ­Prader-Willi Syndrome.

The condition can impact muscle tone, functions of the nervous system and sparks the constant desire to eat.
The former glamour model explained she has been forced to padlock the family fridge to stop Harvey, whose weight has soared 29st, bingeing in the night.
She says that if she denies him food Harvey will smash up her house and leave holes in the wall.
Katie previously said: “Its a cruel and horrible illness where he feels hungry all the time – and if he doesnt get food he gets angry. Its hard work.
“He’ll smash things up if you say no. Ive had to re-plaster my walls because hell bash holes in them with his head.”
Following the BBC documentary, viewers praised Katie’s youngest daughter Bunny for her special bond with Harvey.
At one point, Bunny showed how much she cared about her older sibling as they shared a sweet moment watching TV.
Commenting on the youngster, one said: “I love the bond he has with his family but the bond between little Bunny and Harvey is heart melting.”
