Katie Price furiously slammed after posting 'cruel' video of son Harvey on holiday

Katie Price has been furiously slammed after posting a video of her son, Harvey, on social media.

The former glamour model, 44, took to Instagram to post a video of Harvey, 20, sliding down a chute while on a family holiday.

Although Katie's video was innocent, with the proud mum gushing about her son in the background, fans flocked to criticise the star, asking her what her reasoning was for sharing the clip with her millions of followers to see.

Eagle-eyed fans hit out at Katie for sharing the video due to the fact her son, who lives with Prader-Willi syndrome, appeared to be struggling on the huge slide as his body turned sideways while he bolted down at a rapid speed.

After Katie shared the video of Harvey to her Instagram, an onslaught of comments flew in from her concerned followers, with some even asking the mum-of-five to delete it from her account.

"Are we ignoring the fact he was using his head as a brake from half way down?" one wrote.

"Looks like he's hitting his head the whole way down," echoed another.

"Why would you post this? It's not nice," someone else commented.

A fourth follower penned: "I know you probably don't see anything wrong with this video as you obviously know your son more than anyone else in the world, but to the outside person, this is kind of problematic and you should maybe consider taking it down."

While another unimpressed follower commented: "Poor Harvey."

Following the negative comments, Katie's representatives have confirmed that Harvey had a blast on the waterslide, and there was no malice behind the video.

"Harvey absolutely loved going on the waterslide," they told The Sun.

"He really enjoys being in the water and experiencing new things. This was his first time on a waterslide and he was thrilled!"

The Mirror has also reached out to Katie's representation for further comment.

Katie is currently on holiday with Harvey, and her other children, Jett, 8, and Bunny, 7.

Meanwhile, her children with Peter Andre – Junior and Princess – are enjoying a vacation with their dad.
