Grimsby Town FC has been called out for sharing a 'distasteful' video of Harvey Price as they celebrated their shock FA Cup win on social media.
The League Two side managed to beat their Premier League opponents two goals to one during their FA Cup fifth-round tie, making them the lowest-ranked team still in play in the competition.
However, an online outcry was sparked when Grimsby Town’s Twitter account marked their victory by using a video clip of media personality’s 20-year-old son Harvey, who lives with Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic condition resulting in obesity, and Septo-Optic Dysplasia, which affects sight and the development of the brain.
However, several users online found the post offensive, with one replying: ‘Tweet in very poor taste from account that has such reach.’Harvey, who lives with Prader-Willi syndrome and Septo-Optic Dysplasia, with mum Katie Price , another person responded: ‘The problem when you let youngsters loose on your social media. This is in extremely poor taste.
