We all know England’s all-rounder Ben Stokes has been in the news since few days for a bad reason. He had been involved in a street fight with two men in front of a nightclub where he punched on the faces of the two men. However, the CCTV footage was leaked and it went viral on social media.
Stokes was also send kept in the cells for one night after the fight took place, though he was released next day without any action. And now, he is in the news for another reason. In a recent video that is buzzing on the Internet, Ben Stokes was seen mimicking Katie Price’s disabled son Harvey on camera.
It seems like the video was shot on the same night when he was seen fighting outside the nightclub. In the video, Stokes 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 behavioral problems.
He suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome and is often abused online on a regular basis. We know Katie Price as a television personality and a glamorous model. But this action from the cricketer will surely fume her. Harvey appeared bravely on the show ‘Loose Women’ with his mother Katie last year.

After the video had gone viral, the cricketer is being criticized widely for making fun of a boy with significant disabilities. 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.

However, an investigation is in progress regarding the street fight and there is no official statement from either Bristol police or the ECB. The outcome of the investigation might decide Stokes’ future and mostly his chances to travel with the Ashes squad to Australia in November.
If Stokes is found guilty, there is every possibility he might end up in jail which could risk his participation in the upcoming Ashes series.
