Katie Price was forced to call the police after her eldest son Harvey was threatened in a blackmail plot.

The mum of five cancelled her Manchester show on Saturday due to an 'urgent family matter' and now details of the emergency have been revealed.

Katie's management company apparently received an anonymous email claiming that Harvey's face would be 'smashed in' unless Katie paid the sender, £50,000.

As well as the horrifying threat of violence the email also warned that more details of an affair between Katie's husband Kieran Hayler and an unamed woman would be released and it provided an address in East London where the money was to be delivered.

The police are said to be investigating and treating it very seriously.

Katie said: “I’m terrified. This is clearly a blackmail threat, and I need to be at home with my family.”

While a friend of the star added: "This is all the more horrifying for Katie because she has experienced threats against her children before.

“On three separate occasions she has had to get the police involved.

“The thought of anyone harming the kids sickens her to the core, and until the police have caught the perpetrator, she feels she just can’t leave them.

“Katie is really shaken by this and is hoping against hope that the police catch this person as soon as possible.

“She knows they will be living in fear until they do.”

We hope the police catch whoever threatened Harvey and our thoughts are with Katie and her family.
