Katie Price has said she feels "betrayed" ahead of an investigation into Metropolitan Police officers who are accused of making callous jokes about her severely disabled son Harvey.

"It’s pure betrayal. I was in shock at first, then I felt sick, heartbroken and angry.”
Speaking on consequences for those involved, she added: “It’s not enough for these people to just lose their jobs if found guilty. If this has happened to a vulnerable adult like Harvey, it will be happening to others.”
She said: “I’m just glad he doesn’t know this has happened, because if he did, it could do him serious harm. The impact has already ricocheted through our whole family.
