KATIE Price has hit out at her ex Dwight Yorke in a furious online post, begging him to see their son Harvey “after 10 years”.

The former glamour model branded her ex a “d**k” in the post, after seeing how he had described being made to ‘feel like a criminal’ when he was barred from entering America, in an exclusive story with The Sun.

Sharing a screenshot of the story, she wrote: “Why don’t you get a flight to West Sussex and see your son Harvey he has only been waiting 10 years. u know the four (sic) is always open #d***.”

She added on Instagram: “Dwight knows the door is always open and I’ve NEVER stopped him seeing Harvey. it’s NEVER too late.”

Price, 38, dated the famous footballer in 2001, but the pair split before Harvey’s birth.

Now 14 years old, Harvey suffers from septo-optic dysplasia and is also on the autistic spectrum.

It’s not the first time Price has slammed her former lover.

In her latest biography, Reborn, she dissed Yorke for not being a proper father to their disabled son.

She wrote: “It’s sad that he is unable to accept Harvey for who he is and seems unable or unwilling to work within his limitations.

“For me, it’s impossible to understand why a little boy’s dad wouldn’t make contact after being sent snaps of his son opening his birthday presents, learning swing ball, or giggling his head off on a quad bike. They are such precious moments.

“Any man can fill a pram but it takes a real man to be a father.”

It comes afterThe Sun exclusively revealed Yorke was about to board a flight this week when he was told a red flag had come against his name because of an Iranian stamp in his passport.

The footballer had once taken part in a World Stars XI charity game in Tehran in a legends team which included Luis Figo and Roberto Carlos.

Yorke, 45, said: “I couldn’t quite believe what was happening. I have lost count of the number of times I have been to America, I love the country, yet I was being made to feel like a criminal.

“I had bought my ticket and checked in and was about to get on the flight when I was stopped by two officials.

“I thought ‘what is happening here?’ They told me there was a visa problem and a red flag had come up against my name because of an Iranian stamp in my passport.

“I went there to play in a legends match to open a stadium and didn’t even stay overnight.”

Yorke has a British passport and a diplomatic passport as a global ambassador for Trinidad and Tobago.

He was flying to Trinidad and Tobago via Miami from Qatar where he had been working for BeIN Sports TV channel commentating on Man United’s 3-0 win against St Etienne.

Yorke said: “The two officials told me if I got on the flight I would simply be deported back to Qatar once I arrived in the States.

“I tried to explain I didn’t even live in Qatar and was just trying to get to my home in the Caribbean.”
