Human interestHuman interest
Key Points
  • Katie Price calls for Dapper Laughs cancellation over alleged joke about her disabled son Harvey
  • Lee Andrews challenges Daniel O'Reilly to boxing match after Harvey called him 'daddy'
  • Daniel O'Reilly has history of controversy including previous cancellation and character retirement

Price stated she was told O'Reilly made a joke about Harvey at one of his gigs, according to major media reports. In a social media post, she urged followers to report O'Reilly as bullying Harvey and said he should be removed from Instagram. She emphasized she will always defend her son as he cannot defend himself.

In response, Katie Price's husband Lee Andrews challenged O'Reilly to a boxing match on social media, as reported by major media. Harvey Price had previously called Andrews 'daddy' in a drawing earlier this week, according to major media. O'Reilly has a history of controversy, including facing backlash for a joke about an audience member and accusations of misogyny, as reported by major media.

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'.

In 2014, ITV announced it would not renew his show after a campaign, and he retired the Dapper Laughs character that November, only to resurrect it a month later, according to major media. It remains unclear what exactly O'Reilly said in the alleged joke about Harvey Price, and whether he has responded to the allegations or the boxing challenge. No official action, such as cancellation from platforms, has been confirmed based on Price's call.

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.

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.
