Princess Andre wishes she had a "happier childhood".
The 18-year-old is the daughter of former glamour model Katie Price and pop star Peter Andre - who split when she was just two years old - and she has opened up about her formative years and revealed she's undergone therapy to help her deal with her issues.
During an episode of her new ITV2 reality show The Princess Diaries, Princess explained: "I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then.
"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."
Princess went on to admit she has happy memories with her parents but she was devastated by her mum's divorce from third husband Kieran Hayler.
She said: "Obviously I had amazing times in my childhood, I have amazing memories from when I was younger with my mum and my dad, and I also have not so good memories of the time when my mum and Kieran split up, when I was like, 10 years old.
"He was in our lives for like five years, so we got really close to him and we loved him. He did a lot of stuff and when they split up, everything kind of went downhill.
"My mum, obviously being heartbroken, didn't deal with that in the best way, she went through a very, very dark time, which is understandable.
"Which is hard for me because I was around adulty things that kids should never see and I think as well, when we needed our mum there, she wasn't emotionally able to be there because she had so much of her own problems going on."
Princess concluded: "I could speak about my childhood and be absolutely fine, but then once something sets me off and then I actually deep everything, I'm like 'Oh my God, like no'.
"And then it makes me think that I'm still not over anything or still not really healed from what's happened.

"I wouldn't say I'm fully, fully recovered from it but mum is such a different person and if you put her now to back then, she's genuinely really fixed herself."

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 8 Jess White showed off her unrecognisable transformation a year on from Love Island Credit: instagram 8 The reality star showed off her new look in new holiday snaps Credit: Instagram 8 Jess took part on series 11 and was dumped on day 38 Credit: ITV 8 The TV star posed for a string of sunkissed snaps in Ibiza Credit: Instagram Jess showcased her toned figure in the two-piece while at pool club Clap House. Ditching her darker tresses, Jess also revealed her lighter brown locks and her sculpted face She posed for a series of sunkissed snaps accessorising her look with round rim sunglasses, straw sun hat and a sheer beach dress. Jess captioned the post: "Summer has been good to me." Her former Love Island pals were quick to compliment Jess of her new look, with Olivia Hawkins writing: "Wow," with a heart eyes emoji. Eve Gale commented: "Unreal." Jess' getaway comes after she spoke about a worrying health scare in May. The brunette told how she feels "sick all the time" in a candid video taken from her bed. She said: "So this is a genuine question, is it just me or is it normal to feel sick ever day? "I actually swear 'I feel sick' probably comes out of my mouth once a day. Love Island feud reignited as OG villa girl takes a savage swipe at rival "And I will feel fine and then I just get that wave of I feel sick for hours, and that's it. "Then it will just clear. I am never ever sick but I just feel sick all the time, it's bizarre. "To the point that now if I don't feel sick I'm like, why don't I feel sick?" The TV star then told how she had put a pizza in the oven, but felt too unwell to eat it. She finished her clip by asking fans: "What does that mean?" Her fans were quick to offer a variety of suggestions for the sickness, including anxiety and contraception, yet the underlying advice was to see her doctor and get blood tests. LOVE ISLAND JOURNEY Jess was in last summer's original Love Island line-up, yet was dramatically dumped from the ITV2 show in a mass cull ahead of the final. She was embroiled in a love triangle with Harriett Blackmore over Ronnie Vint during much of the series and they came to blows on several occasions. She also delivered plenty of camera-worthy moments on the ITV2 reality series and coined the phrase "I'm the prize!" during a row with Harriett. Jess was repeatedly branded a "bully" by Love Island fans. But the former retail manager insisted she has been a pal to ALL of her fellow islanders. Following her exit, Jess - who hails from Stockport - claimed she will be "friends for life" with her co-stars. Recently, she looked unrecognisable following a glam makeover. At the time, Jess was tipped for a spot on the spin-off All Stars series - yet never ended up featuring. Though her ex Ronnie did - and Jess then revealed the truth about claims he "kisses like a washing machine". In the All Stars spin off, Ronnie was labelled a bad kisser after Elma Pazar blasted his kiss for having a bit too much tongue action at high speed. Reacting to Ronnie's mistake by comparing her own experience, Jess said: 'I mean I can't speak for all his conquests…but he wasn't as bad as a washing machine! "Definitely not the best kiss I've had though." Jess added: "I'd rate Ronnie's kissing as a 6/10…but maybe I need to jog my memory?' Jess, who failed to find lasting love on the show, has previously admitted: "I think I'm single because I don't underestimate the fact that I'm hard work. "I know what I want and I'm not easily pleased. When you're a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men…" 8 Jess showed off her toned figure in a sheer beach dress Credit: Instagram 8 The former Islander recently spoke about a worrying health scare in May Credit: Instagram 8 Jess failed to find lasting love on the show Credit: Rex
