Junior Andre looks set to hit the big time as he teases he's 'been moving in silence' after sweetly supporting sister Princess on her reality show
The 20-year-old singer has garnered praise from fans of late due to the support he's shown younger sister Princess, 18, on her very own reality show, The Princess Diaries.
And while Princess is carving out a showbiz career of her own, Junior - son of Peter Andre and Katie Price - has hinted that he's also preparing for great success as he told his fans: 'My time is coming.'
Back in 2022, Junior had a promising music career as his debut single Slide hit No1 in the UK's iTunes pop chart, with his follow-up track Only One also bagging the top spot a year later.
While he's remained in the spotlight, things have been pretty quiet of late on the music front, however, that looks set to change if his latest post is to go by.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Junior shared a black and white snap of himself alongside the caption: 'Sometimes the most quiet seasons are the most powerful ones.
'I've been moving in silence, learning, growing, making moves you haven't seen yet. I think about you all more than you know….and when the times right, you'll understand why I've been so lowkey.
'My time is coming and when it does, we're all going up together.'
Though he didn't specify what he's been working on, it is most likely to be music related as that is what he's shown a strong passion for in the past.
Fans of Junior were quick to share their messages of support, with many also praising how he's come across on his sister's new documentary.
One person penned: 'Keep being you that's all u need to do love don't change for anyone or anything. Your the best big brother and son from what I have seen i absolutely love the documentary❤️you are kind humble funny and talented. I would be proud if u were a son of mine. Xx.'
While another shared: 'Young man, whatever you do you will shine, you are a kind, caring and humble. I look forward to seeing you shine even more.'
His family also showed their support with dad Peter, who recently teased his own new single, writing: 'Love you son ❤️', while Princess added: 'You got this bro❤️.'
Junior's words come after fans of The Princess Diaries rushed to social media to share their kind words about how much they love how close Princess and Junior are.

Junior's words come after fans of The Princess Diaries rushed to social media to share their kind words about how much they love how close Princess and Junior are
'Yours and Juniors relationship is so beautiful to watch - loving the show, you should be extremely proud xxx.'
'Lovely to see the relationship she has with her brother, they have both grown up to be lovely people.'
'Loving the show - you and @officialjunior_andre bond is amazing. His face watching you smash the catwalk.'
'A lovely couple of young siblings. Mum and dad must be proud.'
The siblings are children of Katie and Peter - who met in 2004 while appearing on ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
The former couple tied the knot the following year and went on to split in 2009.
Earlier this month, Princess and Junior shrugged off being called ' nepo babies ' as they launched Princess's brand new ITV2 reality series, insisting they're working hard to make it on their own.
Speaking at the glitzy ITV launch of her show, Princess admitted that under the true definition of a 'nepo baby' the term applies, but said the focus should be on how she has built her own career over the past two years.
The rising star has already inked big-money deals with brands including Morphe and Superdrug, cementing her status as a celebrity in her own right.
She added that the new series will give fans an unfiltered look into her life, away from her famous parents.
Speaking to The News Movement she said: 'Well obviously if you're using the actual terms of a 'nepo baby' then yeah, but we are focusing on ourselves.
'This is our own career and I feel like within the last two years I've built myself as a solo person, so this is a good time to for the show to come in as it actually shows what goes on in my life, without my parents.'
Big brother Junior added that it's 'natural' for people to compare them to their superstar mum and dad but stressed that their success will come down to hard work and carving their own paths.
He said: 'Yeah I mean, obviously we're gonna be compared to our parents, they've done amazing things, that's where we come from.
'It's inevitable - anyone would be compared to their parents, so you know that's natural.
'But what we're doing is focusing on ourselves and really driving and pushing our own careers and working hard. For us to succeed we have to put in the work for it.'
When quizzed on what they would do differently - and what they'd do the same - as their famous parents, Junior said he was grateful for the way they'd been brought up, describing them both as polite, kind and 'normal people'.
He added that some might assume otherwise, but the new show would prove they are just regular young adults navigating life like everyone else.

The Red Rose who could have been a Black Fern - Feaunati's World Cup call
2025 Women's Rugby World CupVenue: England Date: 22 August- 27 September Coverage: Every match involving England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland live on either BBC One or BBC Two, while every game will be live on the BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and BBC Sport app, with coverage on BBC 5 Live, Sport Extra, the BBC Sport website and app When head coach John Mitchell tapped Maddie Feaunati on the shoulder and told her she had made England's Rugby World Cup squad, it was an ecstatic moment for the 23-year-old."I was full of emotions and super speechless," she told BBC Sport. "I didn't really know what to say, I was just very grateful and humbled by it."After the initial shock had subsided, there was only ever going to be one person the number eight was going to call first - her father, the former Samoa international Isaac who also wore the eight shirt, spent most of his career in England, playing for London Irish, Rotherham, Leeds and Bath, and featured for his country at the 1999 World also found fame in Hollywood after playing New Zealand legend Jonah Lomu in the film Invictus alongside Morgan Freeman and Matt credits her father for her own love of rugby."I grew up around it," she said. "It was so normal to me. I guess there was never a point in time where I discovered it, I was literally born into the rugby world."I remember just seeing him smash people, run through people, got a bit lipsy sometimes, but I just remember having the best memories."It has shaped who I am. I know the game well because I grew up around it. I've still got lots to learn, of course, but I guess it just has given me a different eye for it." 'My Kiwi accent confuses people' Born in Leeds to a Samoan father and a Kiwi mother, Feaunati, who spent time growing up in New Zealand, had the choice of playing for three different international despite embracing all of the blended cultures in her family, she says it was always the Red Roses for her."It was no brainer for me," she said."England was home to us for so long. Obviously we stayed in New Zealand for a while so both became home but to me England rugby has done so much for me and my family. It was always about the English rugby set-up, the people as well."My Kiwi accent confuses people, it's still a part of me. I'm still proud of growing up there and learning their culture, but I'm very proud to be a part of the Red Roses."Feaunati's World Cup call-up marks a whirlwind two years - she only moved back to England to join Exeter Chiefs in 2023 and made her England debut during the 2024 Six turning down an approach from the Black Ferns before she committed to England, she has since faced New Zealand twice in her career and will come up against Samoa in the World Cup pool admits that playing against the countries that mean so much to her family is 'emotional' but that she knew England was the team for her ever since she first wore the white shirt."I love this environment; I love being out on the field with these girls, I love training as hard as we do, and I want to be a part of this badly." 'I chew Sarah Hunter's ear off' With 17 caps under her belt, Feaunati says she is learning every day from the England number eights who have worn the shirt before her. Alex Matthews, 32, will be playing in her fourth World Cup, while former England captain Sarah Hunter is now the defence coach for the Red Roses."I just chew her [Hunter's] ear off daily, which I'm not sure if she loves, but I just ask her heaps of questions," said Feaunati."She's got loads and loads of experience. Alex as well, they're so open to helping me, which I just love, it's really cool."Unlike Hunter and Matthews, Feaunati has not felt the pain of England's recent record in World Cups. England have lost five of the past six finals, and last tasted success in admits the fact she is about to play in her first World Cup is a 'surreal' moment but one she is taking in her stride."It was never 'I'm gonna get there'," she said. "It was more just a goal that I just slowly started ticking off. But as soon as Mitch [head coach Mitchell] said those words, I was really like, 'OK, I'm in it now'."I just want to keep being the player I am, just keep being fearless is really what I'm going after."We talked to the girls that won the 2014 one and they just want us to have that feeling. It would be super cool to do it with this bunch of girls because it's a special group."As for her parents, who will be flying to England from New Zealand for the World Cup, will there be any split allegiances when it comes to who they will be supporting?"They're 100% backing the Red Roses," she says laughing. "My whole family is behind us all over the world."

Peter Andre returns to social media with telling family snap after being slammed by ex Katie Price
PETER Andre has returned to social media with a VERY telling family snap, after being slammed by Katie Price. It came not long after his ex-wife Katie, 47, publicly hit out at the dad of two of her children and branded him a "fake saint". 6 6 6 The battle of the exes hit it's peak this week when Peter, 52, posted a statement on behalf of his family saying, "this ends today". In retaliation, Katie then shared her own social media post last night, where she was clearly taking a swipe at the Mysterious Girl singer. Now, in his first post since he released his bombshell statement about the on-going feud with Katie, Peter shared a sweet family photo on his latest Instagram Story. In the picture, the singer along with wife Emily and the three kids they share together, could be see standing united. They had their backs to the camera, and they were seen walking along the beach holding hands, as a show of solidarity. Pete simply wrote "Cyprus" over the photo. Peter's return to social media came after he addressed the on-going feud between his family and Katie. Tension has been high between the pair, as Katie blames her ex for a rift between her and Princess, 52. Pricey claims she was "banned" by Peter from appearing in her daughter's reality show, The Princess Diaries. On Thursday, the dad-of-five released a statement about his ex-wife saying he'd "stayed silent" for 16 years since their split in 2009. Princess Andre breaks silence on Peter and Katie's bitter feud after his blistering statement Pete said he chose to speak out now after Katie claimed she was being frozen out of Princess' burgeoning TV career. "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight," Pete wrote in the letter published on social media. "For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood." Pete concluded: "Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months." 6 KATIE BITE'S BACK Katie then responded yesterday with her own statement. Although she didn't mention Peter by name in her post, it was clearly taking a swipe at her ex following their public fallout. She wrote: "Saints and Sinners. As we know, in this life we are thought of as Saints and Sinners. "I know I will always be seen as a Sinner. That's fair, I allowed myself to fall into a reliance on drugs and alcohol. At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness. Peter Andre's statement in full Peter hit back after Katie's claims on her recent podcast that she was being frozen out of Princess's career - despite Princess living with her. Peter wrote on Instagram: "For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silence has been incredibly frustrating. "That ends today. "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. "For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. "In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before out of respect for my children." "In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. "The same falsehoods are being repeated today." "Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months." His statement came just hours after Katie claimed that Princess was living with her on her latest podcast. She said: "I've missed out so much with Princess. I haven't watched the show, but, people have told me how proud I should be of the kids and how they Princess does talk highly of me all the way through it so although I'm not in the show she speaks about me all the time which is really sweet. "But why wouldn't she, because she lives with me. And this is another thing I need to clear up, the kids have never lived just with Pete, we've shared the kids." "I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, and an untrustworthy partner. I've self-medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love." The lengthy post continued and then, in a clear swipe at Pete, she wrote: "Some Saints are fake. They play the victim and to succeed in life they need a at least a Sinner. Without the Sinner they don't get to be the Saint... Katie added: "As a Sinner - I sometimes get bored of these Saints." After meeting on I'm A Celebrity in 2004, Peter and Katie had a whirlwind romance which saw them wed the following year, but were divorced by 2009. The couple share kids Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, PRINCESS SPEAKS OUT It was not just the famous exes who were sharing their thoughts in public. Daughter Princess also spoke out about the rift between her parent s. The teenager took to Snapchat for a candid Q&A with her followers yesterday, When one fan asked: 'Does it affect you even now when your mum and dad don't get on?', Princess responded with a short video message. 'To be honest it doesn't affect me. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don't even have any memory of them being together,' she said. Over the top of the clip, Princess wrote: 'I love my mum and dad and that's all that matters.'

Australia's most notorious vegan activist begs fans for $30,000 to leave the country
A notorious vegan activist has asked her followers to help her raise $30,000 so she can pay a travel bond and attend an animal rights 'camp out' abroad. Tash Peterson, 31, surrendered her passport and declared bankruptcy in May this year after losing a defamation suit. Western Australian Supreme Court Chief Justice Peter Quinlan found in 2024 that she and her boyfriend, Jack Higgs, had published defamatory claims about a vet 'eating her own patients'. Peterson and Higgs were ordered to pay $280,000 in damages. But the young activist wants to travel to the United Kingdom and deliver a speech at the Vegan Camp Out Festival in Hertfordshire over the final weekend of August. She and Higgs will have to pay a $30,000 bond for their bankruptcy trustees to retrieve their passports. 'We are bankrupt and need $30,000 to get to the UK for the Vegan Camp Out,' she said in a video shared with her followers on social media. Higgs claimed the pair were 'forced into bankruptcy' by the defamation case. 'Our bankruptcy trustees said that we have to pay $30,000 if we want to go to the UK, because they're concerned we're going to flee Australia for good,' Peterson said. 'Because of this we're trying to raise funds so that I can give my speech... the only purpose of our trip is so that I can speak up for non-human animals not to run away.' Higgs said the bond, once returned after the trip, would go to funding the Farm Transparency Project, which produced the vegan cult film Dominion. Peterson's mother, Sally, is hosting the pair's GoFundMe page online, which has so far raised $3,200. In April this year, WA vet Kay McIntosh's lawyer, Martin Bennett, said neither Peterson nor Higgs had 'attempted to pay a cent' of the defamation damages. The Daily Mail has contacted Peterson for comment. Peterson has carried out controversial protests on several occasions including 'gatecrashing' restaurants and agricultural events. In March, she burst into The Lamb Shop at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast playing the 'screams of terrified animals' from a speaker attached to her belt. 'Do the screams make you feel guilty?' she asked customers before she was confronted by a worker. She has also covered her body in fake blood on numerous occasions and paraded through public locations while carrying pro-veganism signs. Last year, the semi-clad activist protested in a bloodied stunt outside David Jones on Hay Street in Perth's CBD. She highlighted the message by lying on top of a 'blood-soaked chopping block' which read: 'David Jones: Drop Wild-Animal Skins'. Peterson launched an OnlyFans page in 2022 to fund her career-activist ambitions, publishing a lengthy video explaining the move at the time. 'I get accused of being an attention seeker, I get accused of sexualising myself, I get accused of just doing my animal rights activism to promote my OnlyFans account,' she said. 'Obviously in our society today we think women are treated equally however there is so much ingrained misogyny amongst men and women today because a lot of people are saying women shouldn't be wearing lingerie, they shouldn't be going on OnlyFans and getting paid to be topless or naked. 'I completely dispute this because I think women should be able to do whatever the hell they want to with their bodies.' Her OnlyFans revenue was scrutinised in court in April, following the bankruptcy declaration. The justice rejected the pursuant's attempts to conflate Peterson's activism and her trust company, V-Gan Booty PTY LTD, which owns her subscription operations. He said Peterson's OnlyFans revenue was likely boosted by her notoriety as an activist, but said not all of her actions were 'in her capacity as a director or agent of the company', according to the West Australian. The company raked in $250,952 in taxable income for the financial year 2021-22, of which $132,948 came from online subscription sales.
