Grimsby Town have apologised for tweeting a clip of Katie Price's son. It came after their FA Cup win over Southampton last night.

A short clip of Harvey Price was reportedly posted on Wednesday night along with the caption, that reportedly said: "Signing off for the night! Enjoy your night, Town fans."

20-year-old Harvey has a condition affecting his eyesight, autism, and Prader-Willi syndrome, which can cause learning difficulties.

Grimsby stunned Premier League Southampton after pulling off a 2-1 win over their opponents to reach the quarter-finals of the competition.

The Mariners issued an apology on Thursday afternoon.

In a statement on their website Grimsby Town said:

"It has come to our attention that an inappropriate gif was posted on the club’s official Twitter account late last night following our game against Southampton in the Emirates FA Cup.

"The post was removed this morning as soon as we were made aware.

"We would like to wholeheartedly apologise for any offence it has caused.
