Katie Price’s daughter Princess Andre’s new reality show has launched on ITV2, but the former glamour model has seemingly ‘snubbed’ the programme amid feud rumours
Katie Price has seemingly snubbed her daughter Princess Andre’s reality show debut. The 47 year old former Page 3 model, who shares Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, with ex-husband Peter Andre, did not publicly acknowledge the premiere of her daughter’s new show.
In the lead up to the ITV2 show’s launch, which aired its first episode on Sunday night, Katie reportedly missed a planned morning meet-up with Princess on her 18th birthday to party abroad instead. She has also been accused of ‘inserting herself’ into Princess’s success as her daughter begins her own career in showbiz.
Claims have also been made that she attempted to ‘overshadow the launch’ of the show, sparking rumours of tension between the mother-daughter pair.
As the show premiered over the weekend, Katie remained silent on social media, making no mention of the programme’s airing.
In the hours leading up to the show, Katie’s last posts featured her showcasing a new jacket from her collection with JYY London and urging fans to purchase it by providing a link.
Meanwhile, Princess’ father Peter, who rose to fame in the 1990s with his hit single ‘Mysterious Girl’ and was married to Katie for four years after their stint on ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’, featured prominently in the first episode.
Despite her seeming silence, Katie did make an unexpected appearance in the episode via a voice note she had sent to Princess, reports the Mirror.
When asked about her childhood behaviour, Katie responded: “Who was the naughtiest child? Well, you was a mummy’s girl so you used to push me more and probably get away with things so I’d say you was more naughty actually. You are still very much like me but different if that makes sense, you are more sensible.
“So yeah, the answer to your question is that I think you were naughty. You naughty girl!”
Just days prior, Katie confirmed on her self-titled podcast that she would not be tuning into the show, stating: “I won’t be watching the show. And I won’t be promoting the show because I don’t need it rubbed in my face of everyone playing happy families but disregarding me as the other parent.
“I support Princess in everything she does, but I think it’s really wrong for her at her age to be put in this situation because she’s going to have to do press and they will ask… they are going to be asked what’s all this about your mum and why isn’t your mum and why isn’t your mum in it.”
The mother-of-five previously revealed that she was barred from attending her daughter’s 18th birthday party, blaming her former management team – who also manage her ex-husband Peter Andre and Princess – for considering her “trash” and not wanting her on the show.
On her podcast, Katie alleged: “Princess was like ‘I’m having a party’. And I wasn’t invited because it was for ‘filming’.” She continued: “The fact is there’s stuff my daughter is doing and I’m not allowed to be seen at any of it.”
However, insiders suggest her account of events is far from accurate.
They claim that the 18 year old had planned to meet her mum on the morning of her birthday in June in London – but Katie failed to show up. An insider stated: “It was all in the diary but then Katie claimed she couldn’t make it as she was abroad. It was disappointing. For Katie to then say she was banned from the afternoon’s filmed party when she was the no-show in the morning is just beyond belief.
Insiders are perplexed by Katie’s attempts to “repeatedly insert herself into her daughter’s career”. The model herself claimed: “I have not been allowed to go on any photoshoots, signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that. I’m not welcome.
But the source said: “Why is she making this all about her? What sort of person on the eve of her daughter’s show, starts throwing all these grenades and believes she knows what’s best, and should be given equal billing? Pete keeps quiet about the whole situation with Katie and just wants to support his children.”
Some question whether Katie could be jealous of her daughter’s success. The source said: “Princess’s career is flourishing.”
