Katie Price has called the police after receiving a terrifying threat against her eldest son Harvey.
The model and mum-of-five was left in fear for her family after an email was sent to her management company demanding that she deliver £50,000 to an address in East London or else Harvey's face would be 'smashed in'.
The email also claimed that if the money wasn't paid then more details about another alleged affair of Katie's husband would also be released.
The police are said to be taking the blackmail threat incredibly seriously and are investigating who is behind the horrible plot.
Katie cancelled her show in Manchester yesterday, stating on her Twitter account that it was due to an 'urgent family matter'. And it's only now the full details of the emergency have come to light.
Katie said: “I’m terrified. This is clearly a blackmail threat, and I need to be at home with my family.”
And a source told The Sun: “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.”
