Katie Price Faces an Emotional Family Truth in New Documentary

Katie Price’s adult children, Junior and Princess Andre, have spoken candidly about their childhood experiences in the four-part Sky documentary Katie Price: Nothing to Hide. The series, released on Sky and NOW on 8 July, combines archive footage with new testimony from Katie’s family, friends and former partners.

During one of the documentary’s most emotional sections, Junior and Princess reflect on a period when their mother was struggling with substance misuse and serious mental-health difficulties. Rather than presenting a dramatic “secret”, their conversation offers a personal account of how instability at home affected them while they were still young.

Junior recalls feeling that the mother he loved was physically present but emotionally distant. As the situation became increasingly difficult, he eventually moved into the more stable home provided by his father, Peter Andre. He explains that, as a child, he could not fully understand why his love was not enough to help his mother recover.

Princess describes a different form of loneliness. She remembers searching for small sources of comfort that reminded her of Katie and wanting her mother to understand that her children still loved and needed her. Both siblings suggest that they learned to become independent earlier than they should have.

Katie becomes emotional as she hears their experiences. She acknowledges that practical support from other adults could not replace the affection, reassurance and emotional presence her children needed from her. She also expresses regret for the effect her difficulties had on the family.

The documentary presents a serious personal crisis in 2021 as an important turning point. Katie subsequently received professional treatment and began working on her wellbeing and her relationships with her children. Junior and Princess recognise the progress she has made, while remaining honest about the lasting impact of those earlier years.

The series also explores Katie’s three decades in the public eye, from her early modelling career to television fame, motherhood, relationships and repeated tabloid scrutiny. Sky describes it as an attempt to move beyond familiar headlines by allowing those closest to her to provide new context.

Junior and Princess continue to worry about some of their mother’s impulsive decisions, particularly in her personal relationships. Even so, the strongest message from their conversation is not rejection, but enduring love and a desire for greater stability. Their honesty reveals how a family can carry painful memories while still trying to rebuild trust.
