Katie Price’s son Harvey brands her panto co-star ‘a fat pig’ after stage debut
KATIE Price’s son Harvey branded her panto co-star a ‘fat pig’ after watching his mum on stage.
Harvey, who has Prader-Willi syndrome and learning disabilities, made a strong impression backstage.
The 21-year-old was introduced to Gareth who plays Bippo The Clown in the same production as Katie.
Sharing a photo of himself with Katie and Harvey, Gareth wrote: ” The only person I don’t mind being called a fat pig by…. (Harvey not Katie ).
“What a kind soul love having him around Katie is just amazing to watch with not just him but her whole clan. Great bunch and a great Christmas!”
Fans agreed with Gareth, with one saying: “She’s amazing!!! I said that to her the other day, she’s so good with our kids and the best mum to her own! She’s Beautiful inside and out! Heart of gold.”
“Fat pig (laughing face) oh my god that’s hilarious bless him, xxxx”
Katie is starring as The Wicked Fairy Carabosse in Sleeping Beauty this Christmas and is said to be receiving £60,000 for the honour.
She was surprised on stage after Harvey and Bunny made a surprise appearance.
But last week, Katie was branded a “disgrace” and accused of failing to memorise the pantomime’s dance routines.
Her co-star has even claimed she has “learned two of her 25 lines”.
Now, the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool has slashed the price of tickets to Sleeping Beauty by 25 percent.
In a post on its official Facebook page, organisers said: “Calling all fairy tale fans!
“Sleeping Beauty has awakened at the M&S Bank Arena, and she’s spinning a magical Christmas adventure for the whole family!
“For a limited time, get 25% off selected shows.*
“Book your tickets now and escape into a world where dreams come true (and curses get broken by true love’s kiss!).”
Sleeping Beauty opened its doors last Saturday and is running at the Arena until December 30.
Katie previously gushed: “I am so excited to be performing in Liverpool. I love the city and can’t wait to bring my kids along with me and make some amazing memories.”
But despite her best efforts, some audience members had nasty things to say about the mum-of-five.
A video of her dancing out of time for the opening night prompted critical comments from fans online.
“Maybe, just maybe Katie Price could learn the routines.
“She was an absolute disgrace. Clear to see how hard the other cast members have worked .. very clear she thinks she can rock up making zero effort!!!”
Another moaned: “lol you hardly had any words, did no rehearsing and bippo acted you off the stage. Good work you can’t sing or act – your family must be so embarrassed.”
However, others have jumped to Katie’s defence – and one fan has even branded her an “icon”.
Another gushed: “Oh wow! You were fab, we loved it. Totally confident and funny as! We even gave u a shout out at the end of the first opening night telling u we loved you!”
