Princess Andre has received support from fans after sharing her anxieties about modelling in a bikini during an episode of her new ITV reality show.
The 18-year-old is the subject of the new ITV series, The Princess Diaries, which focuses on her relationship with fame and carving out her own reputation beyond her celebrity parents.
Former glamour model Katie Price and Peter Andre met on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in 2004 and went on to have two children together – Princess, 18, and Junior, 20 – before separating in 2009.
During the third episode of the ITV show, Princess spoke about feeling ‘uncomfortable’ during her modelling debut in Ibiza as she had to wear a skimpy blue bikini top and skirt.
Princess was getting ready for a fashion show when she was asked to do a last-minute clothing change.
Reacting to the decision, Princess said to the ITV cameras: ‘The worst thing is trying to be confident in something you’re not going to be confident in.
‘Obviously, I feel fine wearing a bikini in a pool because we’re in a swimming pool. No-one actually cares.
‘But to walk down a catwalk in a bikini top, I’m going to feel exposed. I’m going to feel so uncomfortable. I was already anxious in the first place, but this has just made it ten times worse.’
Before Princess walked down the runway, the 18-year-old confided in her content manager about her insecurities, saying: ‘It’s just my boobs. I hate my boobs. There’s just nothing to them, it’s embarrassing.
‘They’re all 20-something-year-olds with massive boobs, it’s awkward.’
Princess decided the show must go on and walked out regardless of her anxiety, subsequently posting snaps of the outfit to her Instagram alongside the caption: ‘Well… at least I didn’t fall over on the runway. Who caught last night’s episode?’
In the comments section, Princess’s followers were hugely impressed with her during the episode. @kellycheriton commented: ‘You handled yourself so well beyond your years when everything changed. Keep shining.’
@violafioreflorist added: ‘You smashed it out the park ! Well done Princess, onwards and upwards!’
‘Gutted for you that you didn’t get to wear the dress but the blue did look amazing on you,’ wrote @mrssuv_manicmumdays.
@mrsmactan.x added: ‘You portray yourself amazingly. I love that you are so raw and real, talking about periods, insecurities and low confidence, that’s what young girls need to hear about.
‘Such a brilliant role model for little girls to grow up watching.’
All four episodes of The Princess Diaries are available to stream on ITVX now.
