A SICK clothing designer is cashing in on Katie Price’s disabled son Harvey by selling offensive face masks with his photo on.
The coronavirus face coverings feature a childhood picture of Harvey, now 18, and the words: “Hello you c***.”
Harvey, who was born with a range of complex needs, accidentally said the phrase live on ITV1’s Loose Women in 2016.
American designer Corey Schroeder is flogging the masks for £13.45 on the marketplace website teepublic.com.
He is also selling equally vile T-shirts, stickers and mugs with the same picture and quote.
A source close to Katie, 42, told The Sun: “Katie is so upset, this is disgusting.”
And her rep told us: “This is outrageous! Katie has not consented to having Harvey’s image used for this purpose.
“We have sent a notice requesting they desist immediately.”
This comes just a week after Harvey and Katie appeared on the BBC1 documentary Katie Price: Harvey and Me.
The fly-on-the-wall show began as Harvey – who has a mental age of seven – celebrated his 18th birthday.
He was then seen visiting residential colleges with devoted mum-of-five Katie, who wants to help him lead a more independent life now he is an adult.
Harvey was born with Septic Optic Dysplasia, a rare disorder that affects brain function, hormones and vision.
He also has Prader-Willi syndrome, which is a genetic condition that can impact muscle tone and the function of the nervous system, and he is autistic.
