Jordan hits out at ‘cruel’ magazine

Katie Price aka Jordan has branded Heat magazine ‘cruel’ and ‘ignorant’ for mocking her disabled son Harvey. The publication has been criticised for including a sticker of the five-year-old with the text ‘Harvey wants to eat me!’ in its latest issue. Harvey suffers from a disorder which affects his eyesight and causes him to gain weight.

“I want to know exactly what they meant by this,” Price said in an interview with the Daily Star, for which she received no payment. “How did they sit in their editorial meeting and justify making fun of a five-year-old child who can’t even talk? We are talking about a little boy who’s disabled.

“This is cruel and shows they’re totally ignorant about Harvey’s condition. They are making out he’s fat because he is greedy and eats all the time, but his size is due to his thyroid not working properly. What are they going to mock him for next — skin colour?”

Katie is planning to complain to the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) about the issue. Heat’s editor Mark Frith has apologised for any offence caused by the sticker.
