England’s Stokes apologises to Katie Price over video

LONDON: England all-rounder Ben Stokes apologi sed on Wednesday to TV personality Katie Price and her son Harvey for a video that appeared to show him mocking the disabled boy.

Stokes is suspended by England pending an investigation into an incident outside a Bristol nightclub last month for which he was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm.

England’s test vice- captain said he had seen a clip of Harvey being asked on television how he responds to “internet trolls”.

“I foolishly attempted to copy the clip after I saw it a few times,” Stokes said on Twitter.

“I should never have done this and I am so sorry,” he added.

Price described Stokes’s behaviour as “disgusting”.

“I have written to both Harvey and Katie to say sorry and prior to this offered to meet in person at the end of last month with a view to also getting behind their petition about online bullying,” Stokes said. — Reuters
