Katie Price challenges Frankie Boyle to meet disabled son

Katie Price has challenged Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle to meet her disabled son Harvey after the controversial comic made a joke about him.

The former glamour model will appear in a one-off documentary for Sky Living later this month about life with her son, who she described as "a wonderful boy".

She said: "He has been my one constant over the past eight years and, alongside Junior and Princess, remains the most important person in my life. But of course Harvey doesn't have the voice to defend himself."

Boyle caused controversy when he made a jibe in his Channel 4 series Tramadol Nights about Harvey making sexual advances towards his mother.

A spokesman for Sky Living said: "In a bid to explain how the 'joke' affected her personally, Katie's wish is to speak directly to Frankie, and even encourage him to meet Harvey for himself."

Harvey, who is Price's son from a relationship with former Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke, suffers from autism and life-threatening hormone deficiencies.

Channel 4's chief executive David Abraham has been attacked by an MP for making the "appalling decision" to broadcast the joke. Abraham said the remark caused offence because it was taken "out of context".
