Yahoo News Katie Price sadness as online trolls get Harvey's name trending on Twitter
Katie Price has revealed her sadness at son Harvey Price trending on Twitter again because of online trolls.
The mum-of-five took to the social media site to say she had spotted her son’s name trending and had hoped it was due to the money he has helped raise for the NHS from profits made by T-shirts he had designed.
The 17-year-old, who is partially blind and autistic, designed frog-themed tops which have raised over £12,000.

Proud mum Price spotted his name was trending and assumed it was because of his fundraising efforts, but this was not the case.
She tweeted: “Saw Harvey Price was trending and thought perhaps people were praising him for his great efforts in raising money for @NHSCharities & @CavellTrust. Sadly not.”

She ended the tweet with the hashtag #HarveysLaw, a campaign she started to try and make online bullying a specific criminal offence.
Harvey has been a regular target for online trolls, often due to his appearance, and Price has spoke often about the pain it causes her.

Price recently spoke of the pride she feels at her son’s efforts in raising money for the NHS during the coronavirus pandemic.
