FURIOUS Katie Price has hit back at trolls who slammed her for using Harvey’s disabled parking badge when he’s not in the car.
Katie, 45, is a proud mum to Harvey, 21, who has multiple disabilities, including Prader-Willi syndrome and autism, a condition that causes extreme hunger and can lead to weight gain.

Insisting she only uses the blue badge when she’s picking up her eldest son, she ranted about those who jump to conclusions.
Speaking on the latest episode of The Katie Price Show podcast, the former glamour model reflected on one encounter with a rude member of the public.
She told her sister Sophie, “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.’
“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 come 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.
“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.”
Katie detailed another episode in which she’s parked in a disabled bay in preparation to pick Harvey up.
She fumed, “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?”
Harvey is Katie’s eldest child with her ex Dwight Yorke, but the former footballer is not involved in his life.
She also shares Princess, 16, and Junior, 18, with Peter Andre, as well as Jett, 10, and Bunny, nine, with Kieran Hayler.
