Katie Price says she's calling the police on a cruel content creator for making foul-mouthed impression videos of her son Harvey. The mum-of-five has found clips of the "normal guy" pretending to be her eldest child on TikTok.
The 21-year-old, who is blind, autistic, has septo-optic dysplasia and a learning disability, is being impersonated and the cruel videos are going viral. Harvey is also one of 2,000 people in the UK with Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder.
Katie admits she is taking action against the person behind the cruel clips, saying it has "got to stop" and that the individual is "getting followers for doing it". She opened up about the ordeal with Bake Off star Laura Adlington on her podcast Go Love Yourself.
Katie slammed a TikToker impersonating son Harvey (Instagram)"I think it's the racial abuse he gets, they take the mick about his disability," Katie explained. "There's someone at the moment on TikTok, this guy really does look like Harvey, I'm going to go to the police about him and do it properly because it's a thing.
"He does an impression of Harvey really well but the thing is he's a normal guy and he's just getting followers for doing it. And it's got to stop. It's not funny. We can all take the p**s out of each other, we all have humour but you know when you've gone too far."

It was in 2017 that Katie launched the Harvey's Law campaign, an online petition to make keyboard warrior internet bullying a criminal offence and make it mandatory for social media users to provide identification details to end anonymous abuse.
Harvey, who was under Katie's full-time care until he turned 19, now lives independently at National Star College in Gloucestershire.
Her TikTok drama comes after another ordeal involving her children. Katie's son Junior, shared with Peter Andre, recently appeared on Loose Women, promoting his newly released single. She took to her own TikTok live to say her former co-stars "hate" her.
Katie quit the show for "personal reasons" but has never disclosed her exact reasoning behind her departure in 2018. She has however told fans she would never appear on the show ever again as the programme makes her "feel sick".
It was during another recent TikTok live she explained: "No I’m not doing Loose Women. Been there done that." Katie previously accused show bosses and producers of expecting her to "perform like a seal" for ITV daytime viewers.
Addressing her time on the show in 2021, she said: "I was doing Loose Women for two years. When I look back at that it makes me feel sick. Because those two years were bad. Bad, bad, mentally. Bad bad bad." She told the podcast Changes With Annie Macmanus: "But I still went out there and put on a brave face. I look at it and think, 'Oh my God'. I look at my eyes on it and think I look dead in my eyes. Because all the drama came out."
