Model Katie Price has launched a scathing attack on under-fire comedian Frankie Boyle after he made a string of new sick jokes about the disabled.

Boyle, 40, caused outrage last week after a series of jibes on Twitter, ­including one about a British high jump Paralympic star being blown up by the ­Taliban.

Furious Katie, 34, who has disabled 10-year-old son Harvey with ex-football star Dwight Yorke, asked if the comic would be so insensitive about his own loved ones.

Campaigner: Katie with disabled son Harvey

She told the Sunday Mirror: “Boyle’s wife could have a car accident and be paralysed from the neck down – then we’ll see if he jokes about people with disabilities.

“It would certainly change his life forever and open his eyes before he makes jokes. It’s disgusting that he gets away with jokes about children like Harvey.”

Katie has been furious with Boyle since he made obscene jokes about Harvey, who suffers septo-optic dysplasia and severe autism, on TV two years ago.

The model is a campaigner for disabled children and raises funds for Harvey’s school Dorton House in Sevenoaks, Kent. She has also spoken out about the London 2012 Paralympics – calling for the ­Olympic flame to stay alight for both Olympic games in the future.

She said: “The Paralympics should have been the same and followed on from the Olympics. They shouldn’t have turned the Olympic torch off until both events were over.

“It just proves that people with ­disabilities are not accepted as equals.”

Katie said the lack of equality impacts on every area of life, including theme parks not catering for children with disabilities.

Absolute tweet: Frankie Boyle keeps causing controversy with his Twitter jibes

She added: “We’re all born the same way and we all die so everyone should be equal with what’s in between.”

More than 500 ­viewers complained after Boyle mocked Harvey on his Channel 4 show Tramadol Nights in December 2010, as Katie – also known as Jordan – was divorcing Peter Andre.

Boyle told his viewers: “Jordan and Peter Andre are still fighting over custody of Harvey. Eventually one of them will lose and have to keep him.”

In his latest Twitter rant he branded Saudi Arabian Paralympians “mainly thieves” and said a high jumper’s best performance was “Taliban assisted”.

It was particularly embarrassing to Channel 4 – which aired his show The Boyle Variety Performance on Monday – as it is the Paralympics broadcaster.
