Disgraced England cricketer Ben Stokes continues to be on the top of the headlines after mimicking Katie Price’s disabled son Harvey on camera. He was seen imitating Harvey, who is partially blind and is suffering from a genetic disorder that hinders development and typically leads to intellectual impairment and behavioural problems. Price is a television personality and a glamorous model and this action from the cricketer is surely going to fume her.
Harvey appeared bravely on the show Loose Women with his mother Katie last year. He suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome and is often abused online on a regular basis. The footage Stokes imitating him was shared by The Sun. The cricketer is being criticised widely for making fun of a boy with significant disabilities.
Hello C***
Last year when the 15-year-old Harvey appeared on Loose Women segment he was asked about his response to the people who are cruel to him. His mother asked, “Harvey, if someone says something horrible to you, what do you think?” He replied, “Hello.” Katie then encouraged her son and asked, “You’d say hello? If someone says something horrible to Harvey, what does Harvey say?” Then the boy responded saying, “Hello you c***” which surprised everyone as it was said on the national television the viewers were however supportive of Harvey’s honest response.

But in the video which is going viral currently, Ben Stokes sees in the camera, waves and mimics the disabled youngster’s TV interview. He was obviously drunk at that time and said, “Harvey, what do you say when people are being mean?” Waving to the camera, Stokes responded to his own question saying: “Hello you c***.”
Stokes has been suspended by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) after being involved in a street brawl outside the bar in Bristol. He was also arrested by the police in the early hours of Monday and now after viewing the footage of him punching the guy, he was asked to travel to Bristol and continued to remain under arrest. The outcome of the investigation might decide Stokes’ future and mostly his chances to travel with the Ashes squad to Australia in November.
