Katie Price has admitted she has body dysmorphia, as her daughter Princess shared her true feelings about her mum's health on the ITV2 show The Princess Diaries.
Princess expresses concern
During new scenes, Princess opened up about her fears for her mum, worrying that Katie doesn't see how beautiful she really is. While canoeing, Princess remarked: "You've got very little arms. You're very tiny," to which Katie admitted: "I am a little bit thin." When Princess asked if she thought she had body dysmorphia, Katie said she did.
"I think you do. I think you're very beautiful and you don't notice it," Princess told her, later adding to camera: "The fact mum got surgery at a young age, like my age, got boob jobs. I think it is sad that anyone kind of wants to change themselves in any way because in my head you are made the way you're made and everyone should be confident. But I do feel like if you are putting yourself out there, it does make you look at yourself differently."
Katie reflects on the past
During their honest chat about body image and clothing, Katie said she knew Princess would never wear what she did at her age. "Back in the Jordan days, God, the outfits I used to wear at your age. You would never wear the outfits I wore. You're more classy than me," she told her daughter. Princess attributed that to her dad Peter Andre's parenting: "Probably is because of my dad though, 'cause he used to be a bit funny with me wearing certain things. So I do get it now I'm older, like you do wanna show off a bit more at events and that."
Princess later said her mum had insecurities growing up, despite her apparent confidence during her glamour modelling days: "When mum was my age, she was very work-driven and she had so many goals that she wanted to achieve, and as much as on the outside she might seem confident, deep inside, you know, everyone has insecurities."
