Katie Price has opened up about the extent vile online trolls will go to to abuse she and her son Harvey Price.
The mum-of-five appeared via video link at a government petitions committee to talk about her experience of online bullying.
During the candid chat, Katie explained how trolls even targeted her on eBay when she was trying to sell her car.
Speaking candidly, the starlet said: “I went to sell a car on eBay and it made all the media not because of the car but because of the abuse.
“People were saying ‘has Harvey dribbled on the back seat?’
“Every angle he is getting abuse.”

“With my son, I’ve got five children but my son Harvey was born with disabilities.
“He gets lots of racial abuse, the most disgusting despicable things.
“There are memes made about him, TikToks, Vines, posters… you name it – he gets mocked in such a serious way there has to be some sort of justice.”
Katie Price is determined to put an end to online trolling
Taking to Instagram shortly after the meeting, Katie said: “Today is such a big day for me speaking to the petitions committee with my mum about our experiences with online abuse.
“We need to put an end to online bullying, by driving legislation to make it a criminal offence and hold offenders accountable.
“Thank you so much to every single person who supported this petition. It’s been a long road and we will make #HarveysLaw happen.”
