Channel 4 defended the material and although Price's complaint was upheld by Ofcom, she later claimed that she had not received an apology from the broadcaster.
"Of course I still want an apology," Price told Metro when asked if she wanted the comedian to say sorry.
"He's insulted my son and other people with disabilities. It's easy to try to get a cheap laugh. I believe in karma."
She added: "I heard he used to work in a care home, which makes me question why he said it. Is it all for show? Is he a decent man really?"
Price previously called for Channel 4's chief executive David Abraham to be sacked for allowing the material to be aired and it later emerged that Abraham had personally signed off the controversial material in the show.
After she failed to set up a meeting with Boyle for her Sky Living documentary about her son, Price called Boyle a "shameful mouse".
Nobody thinks its funny its just that is Boyle's material. If people find what he says offensive which would be the majority of the UK just don't watch him. I don't condone what he said about her son or has said on other subjects he has mentioned but people need to get a grip because he will not apologise for what he says.

Dont find Boyle funny and its just shock value.
Not sure why he had to pick on her son, surely boyle would have enough on her alone.

I don't find him funny I remember when he maid jokes about children on alan carr and not in a nice way.
I don't like kp but what he said was wrong.

Let it go love, you'll be waiting a very, very long time before you get the apology, if it were to ever happen!

Everytime this story comes back up I get angry again. To attack an autistic blind boy, no matter who his mum is, is a step to far....Boyle even made jokes about him raping her.
I have a little boy who is on the ASD spectrum and if this ******* had made such jokes about him, I wouldn't be waiting for karma to intervene.
