Former glamour model Katie Price has taken aim at those who criticised her for using Harvey’s disabled parking badge when he’s not a passenger in her car.
The 45-year-old is a proud mum to Harvey, 21, who has Prader-Willi syndrome and autism. He has also been diagnosed with septo-optic dysplasia, meaning he is blind.
Despite Katie doing the best she can, she has come under fire from those who feel she may be misusing the badge. However, the mother-of-five has insisted that she uses it when picking up her eldest son.

Speaking candidly to her sister Sophie on the latest episode of The Katie Price Show podcast, the star, who shares son Harvey with ex-footballer Dwight Yorke, reflected on an incident with members of the public. Katie went on to describe how ‘livid’ she felt after the ordeal.

Describing what happened, she said: “I was parking in a disabled way when I had my pink Range Rover and I was getting the kids out. I was parked at Toys-R-Us.
“This couple looked at my car and got out and went,’Who do you think you are? Just cause you’ve got a car like that, you think you could park in a disabled bay.'”
She continued: “I was livid. I saw them going to Currys and I’ve got Harvey out, went into Currys and went, ‘How dare you!’ and everyone comes round.

“I said, ‘Look, you all know Harvey and they’re saying I don’t have the right to park in a disabled bay. And I had my badges. I was livid.”
The brunette bombshell went on to express that the people who shamed her had no right to criticise her for the type of car she drives. She also stated that it makes no difference.
She added: “Doesn’t matter what car I’ve got. Why does that make a difference? I have my display badges, obviously I had them for Harvey and got him out.”

In addition to this, Katie also described another time when she parked in a disabled bay waiting to pick up Harvey. Ranting about the situation, the reality star explained people who see her in the car without Harvey won’t know what she’s doing.
She said: “Because I’m not seen getting out the car with Harvey, people think I’m using the badges. How does anyone know if I’m not collecting Harvey or not?”
