Katie Price shocks viewers with N-word on TV

-

Katie Price shocked viewers when she twice used the N-word on live TV, to highlight the abuse her disabled son faces online. The former glamour model, 38, says Harvey, 14, is tormented by bullies on social media. She told ITV’S This Morning: “Is it strong enough to call my son a black, blind n ***** – is that not abuse? They called him a golliwog. Is that acceptable?” Harvey – whose dad is ex-man United star Dwight Yorke – is partially blind, and has autism and Prader-willi syndrome. After the show, Katie said on Twitter: “I’m glad I’ve made headlines using that word because I want to get it out there that it’s not acceptable.” Mum-of-five Katie is campaignin­g for tougher legal action against online trolls.
