Mum-of-five Katie Price has been forced to call the police after her teenage son Harvey was targeted and threatened in a £50K blackmail plot.
It’s been said that the former glamour model received an anonymous email which said Harvey’s face would be “smashed in” if she didn’t send them money.
It comes after Katie, 39, cancelled her show in Manchester telling her fans it was due to “an urgent family matter”.

The email was reportedly sent to the star’s management company and demanded that Katie arrange for money to be delivered to an east London address.
They even demanded that Katie send a designer Armani dress as part of the deal.
Speaking about the terrifying incident, Katie told The Sun: “I’m terrified. This is clearly a blackmail threat, and I need to be at home with my family.”
A source close to Katie 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.”
The matter is now being investigated by police who is said to be taking the incident “extremely seriously”.
This isn’t the only time the star and her family have been targeted.
Last year Katie told Loose Women: “I’ve been through kidnapping threats a few times and it is terrifying — £1million ransoms and stuff.
“I’ve got panic buttons.”
Last night Katie announced that her show would be cancelled as she had to deal with a family matter.
The reality star is on a nationwide talking tour, An Audience With Katie Price, and was due to appear at Manchester’s Opera House on Saturday.
She shared a message on Twitter yesterday morning explaining the gig would be cancelled.
The Loose Women panellist wrote: “Unfortunately, I have been left with no choice than to postpone my show in Manchester this evening due to an urgent family matter involving the police and one of my children.
“For all my fans and for everyone that has bought tickets to tonight’s show, I am sorry to let you down last minute.
“This is something out of my control. Please contact the box office for more information.”
Of course, fans were left worrying for the star and many speculated it could be something to do with Harvey, 15.
Late last night Katie shared another tweet revealing she’s on “mummy guard” and is struggling to sleep.
“In bed can’t sleep my poor little head can’t switch off ! I’m on mummy guard too,” the model said.

She also said that someone has attempted to hack her phone four times in just ten minutes.
Hopefully Katie can get all of this sorted as soon as possible.
