Katie Price’s ex Kieran Hayler furiously defends former stepson Harvey as he’s trolled on his 18th birthday
KATIE Price's ex Kieran Hayler has furiously hit back at a troll who mocked his former stepson Harvey on his 18th birthday.
The teenager - who has the genetic disorder Prader-Willi syndrome - is celebrating the milestone birthday today.
Katie, 42, marked the special day in a loving Instagram post, writing: "Happy Birthday to my Harvey Price. What a journey the last 18 years have been.
"You’ve defied all the odds and proven that you will not let your disabilities stop you.
"They said you’d never be able to read, but you love reading to your younger brothers and sisters.
"Your talent has no boundaries with your artwork on public display at Gatwick airport, designed your own greeting cards for Anna Kennedy Online and raising funds for the NHS by designing your own T-shirt.
"You light up a room with your unique humour and you have everybody in stitches. You keep me entertained with your diverse taste in music and keyboard skills, from Beethoven to Queen.
";Harvey Price, you make me so proud every single day."
The touching tribute was met to a string of well wishes, including one from 33-year-old Kieran.
It read: "Happy birthday Harvey!" alongside two love hearts and a frog emoji.
A cruel troll then responded to Kieran by making fun of Harvey's disabilities.
However, the dad-of-two ensured the user was held accountable, writing: "You are absolutely disgusting. Vile human.
"How dare you hide behind that keyboard and write such nasty things about such a beautiful, nice natured boy. Harvey does not have a bad bone in his body. Leave him alone."
In recent years Katie has been fighting for a change in the law after her son fell victim to vile online trolls.
