Katie Price has spoken out after online impersonators targeted her daughter, 14-year-old Princess.
The star, 43, is well known for speaking on online abuse and is continuing her campaign to make ID compulsory to open a social media account after the trolling her son Harvey, 19, has encountered.
But it’s her daughter Princess who has been the latest victim of an anonymous poster.
She spoke out this week after discovering an account using her name and identity had been set-up on TikTok.
Princess soon made her followers aware the account did not belong to her after she found out they had sent messages to her followers.
She said: ‘Hey guys, this is a fake account, and they are going around adding people from my TikTok followers and saying things about me to random people that aren’t true.’
Her mum Katie also gave her thoughts on the incident, saying: ‘Disgusts me, people even at Princess’ age 14, people doing this to her.’

Back in March, the teenager spoke out on problems she had faced with the social media site after being banned from TikTok.
The message read: ‘Your account was permanently banned due to multiple violations of our community guidelines.’

She told her followers: ‘My TikTok again!! I’m doing nothing wrong. Is this happening to anyone else?’
Her account, which is managed by her parents, has since been re-instated.
Katie has been vocal about her disgust of trolls in the past who have targeted her eldest son Harvey.
The teen has ADHD, autism, genetic condition Prader-Willi Syndrome, and septo-optic dysplasia, which causes blindness.
Katie’s ‘Track A Troll’ campaign has recently been discussed in Parliament as she continues with her work to make those who troll people online more accountable for their actions.

The petition has received hundreds of thousands of signatures and asks for the ‘removal of anonymity to ensure that users cannot cause harm by using online platforms to abuse others.’
She’s continuing the fight for ‘Harvey’s Law’ to pass and has done in recent years, even appearing before the Petitions Select Committee.
