‘I told him no swearing’: Katie Price thinks her son Harvey dropped c-bomb on Loose Women on purpose
Glamour model says she has 'no idea what was processing' in Harvey's mind
KATIE Price has claimed that her son Harvey planned to drop the c-bomb live on Loose Women earlier this week.
Viewers were stunned when Harvey, who suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), as well as ADHD and autism, claimed he responds to online trolls with: "Hello you c***" during Tuesday's episode.
Katie's co-stars were forced to apologise for Harvey's unexpected answer, but now the glamour model has suggested that he did it on purpose.
During an appearance on Up Late with Rylan, Katie said: "Oh my God. He must have planned it in his head."
Rylan cheekily asked: "Were you sitting round the kitchen table going, 'This is what you say, boy?'"
Katie insisted: "No, with Harvey normally if you say to him, 'If people are horrible, what do you say?' he wouldn't understand. He'd probably say, 'can I have a blueberry muffin?' or something. I have no idea what was processing in his head."
Katie revealed she insisted that Harvey appear live on Loose Women, despite producers' concerns over what he would say.
She said: "They wanted to do a pre record and I said, 'I don't want to hide what he is. I promise you he won't swear'. Before we went on air I said, 'Harvey no swearing', and he said 'yes mummy'.
"I just can't believe it. But it's true though."
Rylan agreed: "It is the perfect response to all your trolls out there."
Andrea McLean, who was heading up the panel during Harvey's appearance and had to sorry to viewers, stood by Katie, but admitted there were 'reservations' about her being on Loose Women in the first place over fears she would cause controversy.
Asked how Katie was getting on, she told The Sun Online: "Really well, actually. Obviously everyone was a bit reserved as to how it was going to go. She's fabulous. She's joined in, she's right girly girl and it's good."
While Harvey's comment may have offended some, the 13-year-old has been praised for his response to online bullies.
Twitter user Kim Carberry said: "Ahh! Just seen the clip of Harvey Price! #Legend The C word is perfect for those trolls!!"
Tom Snuggs tweeted: "I do love @MissKatiePrice and good for Harvey Price for standing up for himself!"
Chelsea Sparshott added: "Watching Harvey Price on @loosewomen such a lovely little boy! How canyone could be spiteful to him baffles me! #harveyprice #sweetheart."
But Katie was accused of exploiting Harvey by putting him in front of the cameras.
One Twitter user said: "She knows he's getting trolled so what does she do to the poor kid? Puts him all over national tv yet again! He's fab she's a fool."
Another asked: "How does #Harvey know about 'InternetTrolls?' It's just @MissKatiePrice using her son for her own gain #Disability."
