POLICE are investigating after a video of a blacked-up man mocking Katie Price and her son Harvey surfaced online.
The sick video titled “Katie and Harvey have a message” show’s two people impersonating the former glamour model and her eldest child.
The clip prompted outrage after it appeared on Twitter with Katie labelling the clip “disgusting” and “racist”.
WARNING STRONG LANGUAGE
In the video, a woman can be heard saying: “If somebody says something horrible to Harvey, what do we say?”
The man in blackface, who had been mockingly flickering his eyes, responds: “Hello you c***.”
The clip, posted by @philpileon68, appears to be mocking Harvey’s appearance on Loose Women.
Katie Price, who lives in Sussex, hit back at racist trolls for mocking her son, who is partially blind, autistic and has Prader-Willi syndrome, in the cruel social media video on Wednesday.
Katie wrote: "Thanks as you know me and Harvey personally you know how upset I will be. Thank you for everything you do and your support with people like Harvey."
The mother-of-five said “words cannot describe how upset I am” and said she reported the post to police.
