I think that Peter Andre treated Katie badly and now it seems like the kids have turned on her?

Shes not allowed to be on Princess' show apparently

Was it on last night or it’s tonight?

I watched it on ITVX

Read what you wrote… “she’s not allowed to be on Princess’ show”. Maybe that’s because it’s Princess’ show and not Katie‘s show and perhaps Princess wants to avoid her using it as her 369th career launch/reinvention... 🙄

I watched the show (yes I’m a saddo).

Princess hasn’t turned on her mum, she did address a few of the things that have gone on in a respectful way. But she said that she is very close to her mum. She and Junior both said that they love their mum very much.

I think the whole family are a joke tbh. Princess and Junior seem lovely all things considering, but it seems quite ridiculous that Princess is now making money being an ‘influencer’. Purely off the back of her parents.

Peter Andre makes my skin crawl, the way he acted all shocked that Princess was getting pervy DMs from men. He and Katie have used those kids all the way through.

He and Emily are now doing the same but they don’t show the faces and are living a wholesome lifestyle 🤷‍♀️

@SquishedMallow You are very defensive…! Seems a bit weird…at the end of the day, she was only 20 years old (V young) and he was, what, 40? That is odd. We would be extremely concerned if when our Dd gets to 20, she brought home a 40 year old man.

Dawnb19 · 11/08/2025 18:18

Unfortunately she seems quite toxic and jealous of her children. The last few years we've heard her constantly talking about adopting a child or trying to get pregnant and now that no one cares about this story, she's worked out if she talks about her children she gets paid interview.

Obviously we don't know what goes on behind closed doors but for her to come out to say her daughter lost too much weight fast and had to see a councillor it's a bit much. I'm pretty sure her child didn't what that talked about. And when she did that interview saying she wants her daughter to do love island. She also made it into news last week reaching out to Harvey's half brother who was celebrating his 18th. I'm pretty sure she could hav done this in private.

I remember watching a scene where he was beating a little Junior for wearing nail varnish, and mocking him saying people would think he was a little girl if he wore it.

Berating not beating 😬

She was absolutely not a doctor. She was an undergrad student, and only just.

Two years isn't only just
Why do posters infantilise, young women?she was 20 not a 16 year old just out of school

This is a very good point. He defines his parenting and personality in terms of hers, so it doesn't need to be great, just better than hers which is a low bar. He doesn't actually do anything great, does monetise the kids, albeit less, and comes over as a bit of a shit. But in his mind as long as he seems better than her, he's doing well.

She was not a mature student nor in the latter years of her studies. She was only about two years out of school.

Or sixth form college but so what 20 is an adult .

You're rather splitting hairs.

A medical student has 6 years of training post a levels. A further 2 I believe if GP training (she's a GP) so using provocative words like "student" (which brings to mind a teen) is very manipulative. A medical student can be a student up to a very much older age.

An additional three years to be a GP

I think the men are not the same men as then. it's different kind of men

There are men who pay more for unwell looking prostitutes than healthy ones...
... Theres unfortunately a market for Trainwreck porn with hints of..... Other things ...

Blimey, every day is an education... But sadly I'm not entirely surprised 😬

Yep, I'm pretty sure if I asked DP and my male friends, they'd admit to saying she was hot, but that nowadays she looks like something out of the Dark Crystal. And we are the same age as she is.

And nowadays there is a relentless conveyor belt of Love islanders 20 odd years younger than her.

She needs therapy to see that those days are gone, but nothing seems to stick. Its actually very sad and I do feel sorry for her.

SquishedMallow · 11/08/2025 16:28

She enjoys the suggestion of those photos. She thinks men are thinking "my god he's lucky to be laying next to her". But men aren't even looking at those pics, it's women. And furthermore men have long moved on from finding 90s/00s has been KP "hot".

No one should get into bed naked with their son in his 20s.

How many times...

he did not pursue her. she pursued him via her father.

He was an attractive man , her a plain but pleasant looking lady with a tall slim body and beautiful long hair. They liked each other end dated. Fast forward 3 kids and marriage.

She was in her early 20s. She was a doctor FFS, not a vulnerable girl of 16 with a reduced capacity to make decisions.

You're making out like he groomed her !!! Honestly, it's ridiculous.

She was a twenty year old medical student .
It is a moot point as to whether she pursued him or not.
We don’t know the truth, just the PR version put out by Peter Andre and his management

SkylarFalls · 11/08/2025 16:27

SquishedMallow · 11/08/2025 16:26

She was a doctor : a middle class wealthy individual from a wealthy family ! She could and would have earned more than enough money off her own back.

You cannot possibly compare that to 16yr old 'Stacey' from Wigan unbuttoning her top and hoping to 'get off' with Justin Bieber. (Theoretical).

Nothing about a 20odd your old qualified middle class professional with presumably low levels of vulnerability in comparison, asking her father to introduce her to Peter Andre is in any way equalling : Peter Andre is creepy. Ridiculous.

"Creep" doesn't mean paedophile. Paedophillia isn't just men being a bit creepy FFS

Creepy behaviour can be legally permitted behaviour that is just a bit ugly and unpleasant!

She "persued" him in so much as any young fan wants to meet an idol of theirs. It's creepy for a middle age man to take a young fans adoration as an invite

SquishedMallow · 11/08/2025 16:16

I know it's a cheap shot and her looks aren't the point of this thread, but I genuinely don't see "pretty" or "beautiful" when I look at her old pictures. She's certainly not unattractive , but not "stunning" by any stretch. I think she looks a bit 'rat' like as horrible as it sounds.
