For a time, Katie Price and Pete Andre were the golden couple of reality TV, with a lavish wedding and a string of big-money deals making them one of the most talked-about pairs in Britain.
But things turned sour between the pair when their marriage came to an end in 2009 after four years together, with Katie claiming it was Peter’s decision to walk away from the relationship.
Much of the nation has witnessed the fall-out of the end Katie and Peter’s marriage, and the string of public swipes that have been thrown from both sides.
But this week their daughter Princess Andre has spoken about how their feud took a toll on her, confessing she sought help from a counsellor after realising her parents ‘don’t like each other.’
Princess has opened up about the impact of her parents’ tumultuous divorce in her new ITV2 reality series The Princess Diaries, sharing she felt she couldn’t ‘go to her dad’ after he split from Katie due to their dislike of one another.
She revealed on the show how she has a counsellor and previously ‘couldn’t just go to my dad’ due to her parents, who split in 2009, ‘not liking each other’.

‘She [Katie] is so unpredictable and she lives life and doesn’t care,’ said Princess.
‘I love that, I’d love that mind set of I don’t care because deep down I do, I’ll get to bed and cry about it.
‘I do have a counsellor who I see now and then and I write everything down in my notes. I wish I could have had a happier childhood, I had so much on my plate at such a young age and had things at the back of my mind.
Princess also revealed how she used to stay at Katie’s Monday and Tuesday nights and dad Peter’s Wednesday and Thursdays, however the weekends ‘it was whoever’s turn it was’.
Comparing the two households, she added: ‘Mum’s house was chaotic there weren’t many rules, a few boundaries maybe but it was go to bed when you want and eat what you want.’
Katie has hit out at Peter on numerous occasions since their four-year marriage ended, branding him ‘boring’ in a TikTok outburst in 2023, before admitting she walked out of a screening of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 as it reminded her of him.
It had long been rumoured that the glamour model and her ex split over her close relationship with her dressage rider Andrew Gould, with Katie speaking about the claims during an appearance on Paul C Brunson’s podcast We Need To Talk.
She said: ‘We broke up because he thought I was having an affair with my dressage rider, and I’ve never slept with him. I just kept my horse there, and I was happy keeping my horse there, and he was married.
‘But when me and Pete split, because he used to keep saying, “That’s it. I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough”. It got to a point where I went, “Well f***ing divorce me”. And I remember the day, because then I flew to the Maldives with the kids.

‘That day, I’m at the airport, it’s all on Sky News, it wasn’t mutual at all. And then I released a statement saying I don’t want to split with Pete, it’s Pete that’s splitting with me. Until this day, me and Pete have never sat down and spoken about it.
‘It’s all through lawyers. I’ve never sat down with him, we probably would’ve sorted it out but we were kept apart.’
After they announced their split, Peter said he was ‘gutted’ that Katie had taken their children to the Maldives villa where they had honeymooned in 2005.
He told the Daily Star: ‘Being apart from my kids is just breaking my heart. It’s destroying me – I’m absolutely gutted.’
Katie added that it is ‘the most difficult thing’ to co-parent, saying: ‘But I realised you get to know what people are really like, and I’ve had it tough. But yeah, it is sad.’
The TV personality and her ex-husband were honest about their jealous rows and were regularly seen arguing on their reality show, Katie & Peter.
However, it came as a shock to their huge fanbase when they decided to go their separate ways – and seemingly to Katie, too.
Revealing it wasn’t her choice to split at the time, she said: ‘Pete is the love of my life and my life. We have children together, and I am devastated and disappointed by his decision to separate and divorce me as I married him for life.
‘This is not what I want, and the decision has been taken out of my hands. I will not comment further or do any interviews regarding the separation, but I will always love my Pete.’
After his marriage to Katie ended, Peter, who shared daughter Princess and son Junior with the glamour model, went onto marry doctor Emily MacDonagh in 2015. They have three children together, daughter Amelia, 11, son Theo, eight and daughter Arabella, 16 months.
In June, Katie – who said she and Peter no longer speak at all – revealed what she really thinks about his wife Emily – noting the fact that she and Peter always used to step out with the whole family, while Emily ‘doesn’t do all that’ for him.
Katie addressed her thoughts on Peter’s new wife during an appearance on comedian Katherine Ryan’s What’s My Age Again? Podcast, admitting their daughter Princess was left baffled by his new relationship.
The mother-of-five recalled: ‘[Princess] says, “You’re just so nuts mum. When I see you and Emily, you’re just so different. I can’t imagine you and dad.”
‘I said, “I was with your dad six years. Trust me, we had a laugh and bantered together, we did.”
‘She said, “I just can’t imagine dad being like that.” I said “But he was, he was like that. We had a laugh.”
‘And you know, she can’t believe that whenever he went anywhere or me, we were together with the kids. And we’d go as a family.
‘Emily doesn’t do all that for Pete. Me and Pete just did it all together as a family. If we’d got you kids, you would come with us.’
Yet she did have kind words for Emily, with Katie adding: ‘I’m glad he’s with Emily. She seems like a proper lady. I think it’d be weird if he went for someone like me.’
Peter then appeared to respond to Katie’s comments, as he opened up on his thoughts about navigating exes in his new! magazine column.

Katie has also publicly blasted Pete’s management, The Can Group, after she was banned from their daughter Princess’ 18th birthday.
MailOnline’s Katie Hind revealed Katie was unable to attend Princess’ celebrations because the event was being filmed for her forthcoming fly-on-the-wall ITV television series – which Katie has been banned from appearing on.
Princess’ new programme is being made by Pete’s management company, CAN Associates, who looked after Katie when she was with Pete from 2003 until 2009, the year they sensationally split.
During their time together, CAN arranged for the couple to make a big money reality show with ITV called Katie And Peter and helped make them millions.
But Katie has since fallen out with CAN, so that put an end to any chances of her appearing on Princess’s programme.
Katie previously filed legal documents against Peter, their former representatives and former manager Claire Powell. She claimed at the time they were responsible for a smear campaign against her.
Katie blamed Claire for the breakdown of her marriage in 2009, claiming Peter was ‘married to two women’ and had an affair with Claire during their relationship – claims which both Peter and Claire denied.
