Junior Andre has revealed he used to have a crush on his stepmother Emily, before she tied the knot with his dad Peter.
The 21-year-old aspiring singer, son to Mysterious Girl crooner Peter and Katie Price, had his secret initially blabbed by younger sister Princess, 19, during a new episode of her ITV2 reality show The Princess Diaries.
While enjoying a BBQ outside in the garden towards the end of the second episode of season three, Princess asked her dad Pete, 53, when he knew he loved his wife Emily, whom he married in 2015.
Emily, who works as an NHS doctor and shares three children with Peter, is 36 – 15 years older than Junior, and 17 years younger than her husband.
Peter then told his oldest kids, who recently revealed their matching tattoo, that they were friends for two years before things turned romantic and they started to date in 2012, with Junior and Princess thought to have first met her when they were aged around five and three, respectively.
Princess reflected that she had known Emily ‘literally my whole life’, before turning to Junior and adding: ‘And you used to fancy her when we were younger.’
With her slightly mortified brother laughing along at the on-camera revelation – while his dad cackled – Junior then recalled how distraught he’d felt learning that Emily was Peter’s girlfriend.
Junior responded: ‘Did I cry to you or something? Because you said that Emily is going to be your girlfriend and I cried and said, “No, she’s my girlfriend”.’
Princess then quipped in a to-camera segment: ‘There’s some things that Junior will never let me live down, and there’s some things that I’ll never let Junior live down… and that is one of those things.’
Returning to the garden scene, Princess – known affectionately by her family as Bista – then added: ‘I remember we were camping outside in the garden, and you were like, “Emily, I want you to sleep in my tent!”’
Peter and Emily became parents to their oldest daughter together Millie, 12, in January 2014.
Following their lavish marriage at in July 2015 at Mamhead House in Devon, they went on to welcome nine-year-old Theo in November 2016 and youngest daughter Arabella Rose, now two, in April 2024.
Elsewhere in their conversation from The Princess Diaries, Peter spoke to Junior about Princess possibly moving into his bigger bedroom at their house now he was living with girlfriend Jasmine.
‘Wait, if I got a boyfriend, would he have to sleep in Junior’s room? The spare room?’ Princess asked, before her protective father revealed his rules for her.
‘You’re going to hate me, he’d still have to stay downstairs, or you’d have to stay downstairs. Sorry, I know you’re 18.’
Princess also admitted that she struggled to keep up with her mum’s ‘extreme’ love life, following her latest – rather turbulent – marriage to most recent husband, Dubai-based businessman Lee Andrews.
While she doesn’t ‘follow’ the former glamour model’s ‘stories’ about her romances, she shared that she hopes Katie is ‘happy’.
‘Mum’s in Dubai right now to see her husband and to be honest I don’t really know much about it,’ the teenager explained.
‘I’ve never met him but mum’s love life is everywhere at the moment. Mum’s love life stories are quite extreme and honestly I don’t even follow it myself, but as long as my mum’s happy, we’re happy, and that’s all that matters.’
Katie tied the knot with her fourth husband in January just weeks after they met for the first time, and Princess admits her mother’s life has been a whirlwind, saying: ‘Mum never has time to relax, her life is chaos.’
However, during the show, Katie was seen dispensing advice to Princess and Junior, warning them about the dangers that come with wealth.
Katie told the pair: ‘It’s good to have money but it doesn’t bring you happiness, it’s the people around you that bring you happiness. When you’ve got money you attract the wrong people.
‘Because you two have been brought up seeing that, you’ve seen so many hangers on use and abuse me for all kinds of different things, hopefully you will have learnt to keep your circle small.’
The third season of The Princess Diaries is the first to feature both of Princess’s parents, Katie and ex-husband Peter.
Katie was previously blocked from appearing in the first season, but she made a cameo in the second while Peter has made his debut on the show in series three, after signing an agreement in February to never speak ill of each other again.
However a review of Katie’s recent life and times documentary saw her already test the limits of that truce, when she shared a fan review of it which appeared to label one of her exes a ‘narcissist’.
But joking about the situation in a montage shown on her own series, Princess deadpanned: ‘What could possibly go wrong?’
