Katie Price HITS back after being slammed for posting a picture showing her kissing son Harvey on the lips
Ex-model retaliated to criticism that she was 'attention seeking' by posting video captioned 'Harvey hits back'
KATIE Price has hit back after being slammed for posting a picture of her kissing disabled son Harvey on the lips.
The ex glamour model immediately felt the wrath of outspoken Instagram users who were quick to comment on the snap of the pair's tender peck.
The lad, 14, is autistic, partially blind and has a congenital disorder.
TV star Katie, 38, posted a video captioned “Harvey hits back”.
She asks: “What do you want to say to people when Mummy kisses you?”
He replies: “Leave my Mummy alone. I want to kiss Mummy.”
The mum-of-five is the latest celebrity parent to be targeted for making public the physical display of affection after ex Spice Girl Victoria Beckham uploaded a similar shot of her and only daughter Harper.
The picture shows Loose Women panellist Katie sporting a blonde bun hairstyle and staring into her sons eyes as he looks back at her and they share the sign of love.
She posted the image with the caption: "Love my Harvey," followed by four Emoji love hearts.
Yet keyboard warriors came out and suggested she had puckered up simply for publicity purposes.
One wrote: "Just like Victoria Beckham ... looking for attention ? Good for u, that love your son, but I see here some attention seeker," followed up with a confused Emoji.
Another troll agreed and added: "You're right ! Show off and copying Victoria, she always is hungry for attention, she likes it," while one posted: "Difference is Victoria posted an innocent picture then got a load of backlash, this is just for attention and to stir it up, she knew she'd get attention with this picture, maybe stop using Harvey."
Another sceptic wrote: "It's not about not being able to kiss your child it's about not on the lips it looks wrong."
Though one thing the blonde can rely on is the support of her loyal fans who seemingly stick by her through thick and thin.
One Katie cheerleader immediately leaped to her defence and posted the blunt comment: "This is a beautiful show of love between a mum and her child.End Of.X"
Another Instagram user uploaded their experiences and said: "I will kiss my kids till they are 70 sorry u lot needs some love kiss your boy whenever u want Katie," while another added: "Nothing more beautiful than a mother's love."
One passionate fan added: "I'm so proud and please your campaigning again cyber trolls Harvey's lucky to have such a caring and supportive mom and something needs to be done to stop them it's vile and bullying!"
