Yahoo News Katie Price shocks This Morning viewers by saying the N-word twice during live interview
To be honest, everybody kind of expects Katie Price to say something shocking when she appears on live TV, however, This Morning viewers weren’t quite prepared for the mum-of-five to drop the N-word twice during an appearance on the show earlier today.
Katie even earned herself a telling off from co-host Phillip Schofield as she repeatedly said the controversial word, with fans of the show taking to social media to slam her.
The former glamour model was appearing on This Morning to discuss her ongoing petition to make cyberbullying a criminal offence, with the star’s 14-year-old son, Harvey, being constantly targeted by cruel trolls due to his severe disablities.
Harvey suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome, ADHD, autism, and is blind, and Katie has been incredibly vocal about the cruel comments that he receives on the internet – including one instance where a troll made a fake sex tape featuring her son.
Her petition to make online bullying a criminal offence garnered over 100,000 signatures – meaning that it will be considered for debate in the Houses of Parliament, and as Katie explained the cause to Holly Willoughby and Phillip earlier today, she did not hold back.
Listing some of the horrific messages that Harvey has received, Katie said that he’d been called “a blind, black n*****” and a “G*******”.
Letting the first instance slide, the hosts agreed that the use of the word is “deeply offensive”, however, when Katie repeated the N-word again, saying: “Calling my son a n***** isn’t acceptable”, Phillip snapped: “You don’t need to say it again.”
A sentiment that viewers at home agreed with, writing on Twitter:
Katie Price said the n-word (twice) on This Morning? It's all publicity; pathetic really.

This is not the first time that Katie and her family have sparked outrage during a live appearance on daytime TV, with Harvey himself previously causing controversy when he dropped the C-bomb during an appearance on Loose Women.
