Jordan withdraws PCC complaint

Jordan has withdrawn her complaint to the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) about a magazine sticker that poked fun at her disabled son, following an apology from the publication.

The glamour model wanted to take action after Heat magazine published a sticker with an image of her son Harvey and the accompanying words "Harvey wants to eat me".

Harvey is blind and has a hormone problem which causes weight gain. After Price lodged a complaint to the PCC and more than 100 readers complained, Heat magazine published an apology to Jordan and to their readers and donated money to charity.

The apology was printed in the publication's letter page this week, saying: "It was never our intention to cause offence to Harvey's family and friends nor to you, our readers. In particular, it was never our aim to make fun of Harvey's disabilities.

"We now accept that the decision to include this sticker was a mistake and we recognise that it has caused offence, not only to Katie and Peter Andre, but to a number of readers.

"Immediately following publication, we apologised unreservedly to Katie and Peter. We wish to apologise publicly to Harvey, Katie and Peter for any embarrassment and distress caused.

"Heat has voluntarily decided to make a donation to The Vision Charity, an organisation that Katie and her family have worked with over a number of years, as a mark of its regret."

The PCC has since dropped its investigation into the complaint.
