PETER Andre has come under fire over a resurfaced clip where he's accused of being 'disablist' to Katie Price's son Harvey.
The singer, 52, was Harvey's stepfather from 2005 to 2009, while he was married to Katie.
In the old clip, Peter imitates Matt Lucas' disabled Little Britain character Andy – while interacting with a young Harvey.
The footage shows Peter comparing the sitcom character to Harvey.
He has Harvey repeat Andy's familiar catchphrase "I want that one."
Speaking in the clip, Peter laughs and comments: "You look a bit Matt Lucasey, ay."
Katie then enters and responds: "No he doesn't, he's my Harvey", while Peter agrees.
Meanwhile, the old clip resurfaced after being shared on a Katie Price TikTok fan page.
One person commented: "I had big respect for Peter but this is a big eye opener for me…"
Another added: "Why mock a disabled child? I find this highly disgusting and sad…. Not funny!!!!!"
The Sun has contacted Peter's representatives for comment.
Harvey, now 23, has Prader-Willi syndrome – a genetic condition that can impact muscle tone, sexual development and the function of the nervous system.
As well as this, those with Prader-Willi syndrome are more likely to have learning difficulties.
It comes as Peter was recently left "devastated" after daughter Princess was blamed for the rift with her mum Katie.
The 18-year-old is branching out with new show The Princess Diaries – but Katie was "banned" from starring in the series.
However, there remains friction behind the scenes since the 18-year-old's aunt suggested Princess demand Katie appear on camera with her.
Katie's sister Sophie told The Katie Price Show podcast: "Ultimately I do think it's down to Princess to put her foot down a bit."
"But, she'll be scared Soph," replied Katie.
The "hurtful" dig is yet another unhelpful distraction from Princess's soaring career, which has left her and her dad Peter Andre "devastated", an insider claimed.
Our source told The Sun: "Princess has always had a close mother-daughter bond with Katie throughout her life, whether that's been shown on or off-screen.
"This new series is about Princess's life, so she made sure to include her mum in it as much as possible.
"Princess is always honest and transparent. She wouldn't want to include scenes that weren't authentic. Her parents have been split up for a long time and never see each other."
