Katie Price has sent out a harsh warning to controversial comedian Frankie Boyle, declaring he should stop insulting those with disabilities in case his wife has a car accident and winds up paralysed.
Price and Boyle have a rocky past, with the pair famously falling out in 2010 when he insulted her son Harvey, who suffers severe autism and septo-optic dysplasia, on his Channel 4 show.
But now, after the Scottish comedian posted a string of insulting tweets aimed at disabled athletes during the Paralympic Games opening ceremony on Wednesday, she has reignited their feud.
In a harsh warning to the 40-year-old, the former glamour model has told him to be careful about who he makes the subject of his 'jokes' as if one of his family members suddenly became paralysed, it's unlikely he'd continue his offensive remarks.
'Boyle's wife could have a car accident and be paralysed form 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.'
Boyle was simply cautioned by media Ofcom for his comments against Harvey in 2010, a punishment Price feels was far too soft.
'It's disgusting that he gets away with jokes about children like Harvey,' Katie added to the Sunday Mirror.
At the time of the incident, Katie said: 'I am amazed that Ofcom have not required, at the least, an apology to be broadcast.
'This strikes me as a further insult to my wonderful son and another in a series of failures in this sordid affair.'
Boyle was surrounded in yet more controversy after he posted a string of insulting and offensive tweets during the Paralympic opening ceremony last week.
One shocking tweet read: 'Apparently the Saudi Arabian Paralympic team is mainly thieves #c4paralympics.'
While another he posted read: 'As far as the Paralympics goes I'm most looking forward to the equestrian events. I've never seen a horse in a wheelchair.'
But after a huge backlash following his comments, Boyle took to Twitter again to defend himself, claiming the tweets were a 'celebration' of the Paralympians.
'I'd say my Paralympic tweets are celebratory. I'll be joking about Paralympics same way I joked about the Olympics. That's my job yo,' he wrote.
Channel 4, who Boyle has worked with extensively in the past, have now moved to insist his tweets were not made on behalf of Channel 4 and were solely personal comments.
They have also suggested he won't be returning to work with the broadcaster any time soon, admitted he has no contract with them.
