Katie Price, 48, has revealed that her daughter Princess Andre, 19, rushed to ring her after watching the former glamour model's Sky documentary series 'Katie Price: Nothing to Hide', which included deeply moving moments from her personal life and career.
Princess appears in the documentary alongside her brother Junior Andre, 21. Speaking on the podcast 'The Katie Price Show', which she co-hosts with her sister, Katie disclosed that Princess shared her thoughts through an emotional phone call.
Princess's Reaction to the Documentary
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".'
'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.'
However, Katie revealed that the conversation became highly emotional as Princess confessed she hadn't truly appreciated her mum's hardships before viewing the series.
Late-Night Confession
Katie added: '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".'
'She went, "No, Mum, I feel really bad for you, I need to give you a cuddle". I'm like, "I'm alright Princess". She was like, "No, I'm coming tomorrow, I'm going to stay the night with you, I need to give you cuddles". I'm like, "Alright Princess", she goes, "No, I didn't know you'd been through so much".'
Children's Reflections on Katie's Drug Use
In 'Katie Price: Nothing to Hide', both siblings open up about how their mother's past drug use affected them. 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?'
'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.'
He continued: 'She wasn't in the right headspace, she really wasn't. And she wasn't being a mum, she wasn't being the mum that I knew from when I was a little boy.'
'The amount of love she gave me was so immense that that's what I missed so much. Mum was on drugs, and she could not look after us, and that is the reality of it.'
'She couldn't. And then I got fed up. I clocked on that this was a very unhealthy environment, and I needed to get out,' referring to when he went to live with his father Peter Andre.
Princess's Childhood Memories
Princess added: '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.'
'I always wanted to be there for her, and I always wanted to show her that, like, she has me, she has us, but she didn't understand that at the time, because she was so hooked up in her own problems.'
Katie's Apology
Katie also discussed the consequences of her drug use, saying: 'Kids need their mum, kids need their mum's love, their mum's hugs, and I thought I was giving 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?'
