The starlet, 18, who is the daughter of showbiz legend Katie Price and 90s pop singer Peter Andre, appeared in the first episode of her ITV2 reality show on Sunday evening. Princess, alongside her dad and her brother Junior, 20, was getting ready to go to a Mission Impossible premiere and she said said: "All boys need to do is scruff up their hair a bit and put a suit on. It's not that hard!" But things took a dramatic turn when Princess candidly admitted that the appearance had come at her time of the month. as she told the cameras: "This is not good! I feel like it's a huge pressure to look perfect at these glamorous events, there are paps there, and anything little thing that's wrong, people point it out and there's loads of comments about it. So that's dodgy nails, and I'm on my period, but apart from that, I'm read carpet ready!" It was a race against time on the way to get to the event as Princess complained about cramps and had to stop at a hotel to rush in and use their bathroom. And in a confessional, she told viewers: "She said: "This is honestly the worst nightmare. Girls, you know exactly what I'm on about. You're wearing a nice dress, you're going to an event or a special event and you've just leaked. Yeah, the panic is real." It comes after Princess Andre says she's 'independent' from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row. As the scenes unfolded, Princess managed to get out of the car and to a bathroom just in time, but admitted amid all the tension:" "This is really disastrous. What if it's actually gone through my dress? I don't even think I can even stand up! Oh no! Has it leaked through, dad?!" Just before heading into the glamorous event, Princess breathed a sigh of relief and she said: "Oooh, panic over, don't worry. I'm all good. My dress is fine." The moment did not go unnoticed by fans, and one rushed to X to praise the budding reality star for speaking out over the issue. They wrote on the social media platform: "Hats off to Princess Andre for talking about her periods in her reality show. Her life might not be normal but she is normalising something that usually carries stigma and shame." During the programme, Princess featured heavily alongside her brother and fans also praised the relationship between the siblings. as one wrote: "I'm not a fan of Katie Price & Peter Andre, but they really did make the most beautiful kids in Junior & Princess", and a a third user said: "Watching The Princess Diaries on ITV. Loving the sibling relationship between Junior and Princess." Katie did actually make an appearance in the first episode of the programme, but was heard only on the other end of a voice note. Princess had to asked her mother about what she was like as a child and Katie replied: "Who was the naughtiest child? Well, you was a mummy's girl so you used to push me more and probably get away with things so I'd say you was more naughty actually. You are still very much like me but different if that makes sense, you are more sensible. "So yeah, the answer to your question is that I think you were naughty. You naughty girl! before Princess admitted in a confessional: "Me and my mum are so close. We're more like best friends, we'll tell each other anything." Katie recently said she was "very, very upset" that Princess' career was being managed by her ex-husband Peter Andre's management and says she's being left out. She also said she won't be watching the reality show, which she isn't a part of. The mum-of-five said she was banned from her daughter's 18th birthday party and that her former management team – who look after Mysterious Girl singer Peter, 52, and Princess – did not want her on the show as they considered her 'trash'. Speaking on her podcast, Katie claimed: 'Princess was like 'I'm having a party'. And I wasn't invited because it was for 'filming'.' "But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes. I do wish, like, I could have had a more happier childhood. In the sense of like, I had so many things on my plate at a young age." The first episode also saw Princess exploring ideas for her makeup business as she attempted to build a brand of her own. She told viewers in a confessional: "I am gonna take on the challenge because this is something that I really, really want so I've got to work, work work."
