The former glamour model also shares an insight into her family on her Quest Red reality TV show My Crazy Life and her YouTube channel, which is still active.
In December, Katie shared a passionate YouTube video where she spoke about the trolling and online bullying she receives, which is also cruelly aimed at her disabled son Harvey.
It followed an emotional video posted to her Instagram in November where Katie and Harvey begged trolls not to ‘bully him’.

The mother-of-five filmed her eldest child, 17, who is partially blind, autistic and has Prader-Willi syndrome, as he asked bullies to stop being ‘horrible to him’.
Harvey held up a poster from Anna Kennedy Online, a charity which raises Autism Awareness, as he said: ‘Please don’t be horrible to Harvey.’
To which Katie asked: ‘What don’t we do to other people?’ with the 17-year-old adding: ‘Not be horrible to Harvey, not be naughty, not bully people.’

In 2018, Katie vowed to be the ‘voice’ for her son Harvey and protect him from abuse – as she took her fight for a new criminal offence of online trolling to parliament.
In February 2018, the TV personality won the backing of MPs for ‘Harvey’s Law’ to create a new criminal offence of online trolling.
The TV personality also urged internet companies to do more to tackle the hate-filled abuse which is uploaded online following racist and extreme abuse about her son.
