Ikonz backs Jordan’s complaint against Heat

Heat magazine under fireBrit Asian magazine Ikonz has backed a complaint made by glamour model Jordan to the Press Complains Commission.

Jordan has complained to the Press watchdog over references to her disabled son.

She was offended by a sticker featuring Harvey in the latest edition of Heat.

The sticker which caused offence

Heat magazine has been under fire for producing a sticker of the five year old, with the phrase "Harvey wants to eat me!" which resulted in a series of complaints to the press watchdog.

Ikonz magazine has also registered a formal complaint with the PCC in favour of Katie Price and its editor, Reena Combo, has written a formal letter of support to the Katie and her husband Peter Andre.

Jordan's son Harvey Price suffers from septo-optic dysplasia, a rare condition which means he is visually impaired and suffers from hormonal deficiencies. The portrayal of the child has also been attacked by disability rights groups.

"I think as journalists and editors working very closely with popular celebrity personalities, we all have a responsibility to cater for our readers without compromising the personal privacy of the individuals whose lives are of intrigue to the wider public," said Ms Combo.

"Reporting on celebrity culture and news within acceptable journalistic limits is fine but targeting minors, especially those with disabilities, is clearly crossing the line. We have made a formal complaint echoing the concerns of Katie Price and I am also sending her and Peter a personal letter expressing my support in this matter."
