Katie Price has called for comedian Daniel O'Reilly, known as Dapper Laughs, to be cancelled after he allegedly made a joke about her disabled son Harvey. According to Katie Price, O'Reilly made the joke and then said 'pretend I didn't say anything or I'll get cancelled again'. Harvey Price has Prader-Willi syndrome, autism, and septo-optic dysplasia causing blindness.

Katie Price's husband Lee Andrews challenged O'Reilly to a boxing match on Misfits in June, according to multiple reports. This is not the first time Price has defended her son from comedians. In 2010, she called out Frankie Boyle for making a joke about Harvey. According to Daily Mirror - 3am Showbiz, Katie Price described Channel 4's decision to repeat Boyle's joke as embracing and exploiting discrimination. Mencap's campaigns manager Esther Foreman supported Price, calling Boyle's joke 'disgusting', according to the same source.

OMG, SCARY, looks like something from another planet; Is this for real; I no shes had stuff done ....But this can't be real; WTF im lost for words except for WTF lol

Fans, Social media commenters

Meanwhile, Katie Price recently shared an unrecognisable photo of herself on Facebook wearing sunglasses and a grey T-shirt. Fans commented that she looked 'scary' and questioned if the photo was real. Price revealed she has undergone another procedure at BeClinic, and her anaesthetist said her health stats were 'perfect' and she is 'so healthy'. She promotes Supreme CBD products, claiming they help with sleep, anxiety, aches, and pains.

Okay Guys Now Who Did This? I Love It!

Katie Price, Reality TV star

Oh my g** I've got something exciting to tell you, that you'll love. Yes I've been at the BeClinic and had some procedures done. But I am so pleased that when you are healthy and you hear an anaesthetist, they're the main person in the surgery room, I said 'how was the anaesthetic, was my blood pressure low, this and that' and he said, 'it was perfect and I can tell you that you are so healthy, that you obviously don't drink or take drugs because you didn't need much anaesthetic.'

Katie Price, Reality TV star

He said my stats were perfect so this is where I come onto the CBD I take it every night and it's not a drug and I'm healthy so I can't wait to get home. They've given me some sleeping tablets just for three days, I don't need it I'm not going to take it because I'm taking my CBD, that's also good for aches and pains and helps you sleep. So I'm pleased with that.

Katie Price, Reality TV star

I AM SO HEALTHY AND I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER. I get hundreds of messages about the @supremecbd products and how much they are helping people. I am so glad I have been able to help by talking about how good my sleep is and how much it helps my anxiety, aches and pains! Keep the messages coming I love them!

Katie Price, Reality TV star

So I hear last night @dappersinstagram made a joke about my son Harvey AGAIN then said 'pretend I didn't say anything or I'll get cancelled again'. Having to use my son with complex needs and can't defend himself for a joke, makes this man a disgusting human being, so I prey he gets cancelled for EVERYTHING.

Katie Price, Reality TV star

Daniel, I'll fight you in Miss-fits in June. I won't ever train for it so I can knock your fat t**t all over like the stodgy little round punching bag you (are) son.

Lee Andrews, Katie Price's husband

By repeating Frankie Boyle's show, Channel 4 are embracing and exploiting discrimination.

Katie Price, Reality TV star

They are saying it is ok to ridicule people - even children - for disability in a way they would not dare over race or sexual orientation. The people who control the channel are endorsing this behaviour and it is disgusting. Even the fact that Ofcom are investigating the first broadcast has not made them divert from this path. This issue is not about me, other than Harvey is my son. This issue is about discrimination. By broadcasting these vile sexual comments about Harvey, and then insisting on repeating them, Channel Four are trying to take us back to an era when discrimination was accepted. They mustn't be allowed to get away with it.

Katie Price, Reality TV star

It is disgusting that Frankie Boyle ha
