Eight Metropolitan Police officers are under investigation for posting WhatsApp comments that were allegedly sexist, racist and homophobic.

Katie Price has come out in defence of her disabled son Harvey, who was the victim of “disgusting” WhatsApp messages allegedly posted by Met Police officers. Eight officials in the South East Command Unit attended a misconduct hearing on Tuesday (February 21) where allegations were heard of sexist, racist, homophobic and transphobic comments, some of which allegedly “applauded sexual violence against women”.

The former I’m A Celebrity star spoke to ITV following the proceedings, which revealed the messages sent by serving and former Met Police officers in a WhatsApp group chat entitled ‘Secret Squirrel Sh**’. The hearing heard of comments made between May 2016 and June 2018.
