Katie Price, 48, has revealed that her daughter Princess Andre, 19, rushed to call her after watching the former glamour model's new Sky documentary series, Katie Price: Nothing to Hide. The series features heartbreaking moments from Price's personal life and career, and Princess, along with her brother Junior Andre, 21, also appears in the documentary.
Princess's Verdict on the Documentary
Speaking on the podcast she co-hosts with her sister, The Katie Price Show, the reality star shared that Princess had given her verdict via a heartfelt phone call. Katie said: “Princess has watched it, Junior hasn’t yet. Princess absolutely loved it to the point [that] she’s like, ‘Mum, I want to be more like you where you just don’t give a s*** about things’.”
Katie added: “I said, ‘Woah, woah, woah Princess!’ What she means is like, because I always say, go out more individual, like me. She loved it, she absolutely loved it.”
An Emotional Late-Night Call
However, the call became emotional as Princess admitted she hadn't fully understood her mother's struggles before watching the series. Katie recounted: “She was like, 'Mum', she called me at half 11 at night, she watched it and, erm, she's like, 'Mum, look at your little head'. I went, 'What do you mean? I'm in bed'. She went, 'No mum I need to give you a cuddle'. I was like, 'Oh shut up Princess'.”
Princess insisted: “No, Mum, I feel really bad for you, I need to give you a cuddle.” Katie responded: “I'm alright Princess.” But Princess persisted: “No, I'm coming tomorrow, I'm going to stay the night with you, I need to give you cuddles.” Katie eventually agreed, and Princess added: “No, I didn't know you'd been through so much.”
Children's Painful Recollections
Princess and Junior are Katie's children with her ex-husband, singer Peter Andre. In the documentary, they discuss the impact of their mother's past drug use. Junior recalled: "I remember missing her so much. This one time in particular, I was in her bed waiting for her to come back, and I woke up probably 3:30am to some loud noises, and I see her come in the room, and I'll never forget the look on her face, she was obviously on stuff, right?"
He added: “I could see it in her eyes, and I was.. it scared me, because I've never seen my mum look like that. She's there, but she's not there, you know.” Junior described her as not being in the right headspace and not being the mum he knew from his childhood.
Princess shared her own painful memory: “She'd give me a blanket, and she sprayed all her perfume on it, and that was like that was my, my attachment to Mum. So I remember after school I used to go home and just feel so like lonely in a way. I used to just cuddle to the blanket and just cry.”
Katie's Regret and Apology
Katie also spoke in the documentary about the impact of her drug use, saying: “Kids need their mum, kids need their mum's love, their mum's hugs, and I thought I was given that, but obviously I wasn't. It must have been horrible for them, horrible for them, and I'm just sorry to them that I put them through that and thought I was doing the best I could with them, but what could I have done?”
