Katie Price has shamed cricketer Ben Stokes on Twitter after he was seen appearing to mock her disabled son Harvey in a Snapchat video.
Stokes was seen imitating the 15-year-old’s Loose Women appearance which saw him use the c-word when asked how he responds to bullies.
In a video Stokes can be heard saying: “Harvey, what do you say when people are being mean?”
He then adds: “Hello you c***.”
Price hit out at the sportsman on Twitter, writing: “Shame him.”
She was inundated with support from fans, with many branding Stokes’ behaviour “disgusting”.

Another posted: “Trying to mimic someone with difficulties is beyond morally wrong and totally disgusting.”

The former glamour model is said to be outraged by the video as she has fought tirelessly against those who mock her son online.
“She is extremely protective of Harvey, as any mother would be, and has always made it clear that she finds any jokes about him totally unacceptable,” a source told The Sun.
“She’s got no idea who Ben Stokes is, and she’s never met him, so it’s outrageous that he would want to ridicule her son like this.”

“Katie has made it her mission to speak out against this sort of behaviour. She says, ‘No joke about Harvey will ever be funny to me’.”
In March, Price launched a Government petition to make online bullying a criminal offence after Harvey, who is partially blind and suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome, was targeted by trolls.

A teenager was arrested in February on suspicion of mocking him.
The arrest came after a man, who sent Price abusive tweets about her son, apologised to her after being exposed.
Price is also mother to Junior, 12, and Princess, 10, with Peter Andre and Jett, four, and Bunny, three, with Kieran Hayler.
