Princess Andre praised for raising awareness of important issue on new ITV reality show
Princess Andre has been praised for raising awareness of period issues through her new reality show The Princess Diaries. 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."

Hollywood star hosting 'new game show which has become a global success is set to come to ITV'
ITV is reportedly lining up a brand-new quiz show for its Saturday night schedule - and it's already a global hit. Titled The Floor, it has taken television by storm in more than 20 countries, with Hollywood actor Rob Lowe fronting the American edition. The UK will become the format's 25th stop when it launches next year, according to The Sun. Producers are staying tight-lipped about who will present the British version, but ITV bosses promise it will be a high-energy addition to their entertainment slate. 'The Floor, with its compelling gameplay, is an excellent addition to our roster of popular quiz shows across ITV and ITVX,' Katie Rawcliffe, the network's Director of Entertainment told the publication. DailyMail has approached ITV for further comment. Originally created in the Netherlands, The Floor pits 81 trivia enthusiasts against one another in head-to-head battles on a massive LED floor. Each of its 81 squares represents a unique category of knowledge, making every duel a test of both brains and nerve. The format has already proved a smash hit in countries such as Australia, Poland, and Spain, with recent launches in Estonia and Latvia further expanding its reach. Over in the US, it has enjoyed three successful seasons, with Rob's star power signalling the network's early faith in the concept. That gamble paid off as broadcaster Fox has now commissioned two additional seasons, securing the American edition through 2027. Rob rose to fame in the 1980s as part of the 'Brat Pack,' starring in films like The Outsiders and St. Elmo's Fire. He has since built a long career in TV, with notable roles in The West Wing and 9-1-1: Lone Star. More recently, Rob has been busy hosting the podcast Literally! With Rob Lowe, where he regularly welcomes A-list guests including Adam Scott, Jason Isaac, and Kristin Davis. In June, Rob shared vivid memories of his grandmother Mim's battle with breast cancer. The actor shared a close bond with his grandmother during his childhood, and has said his grandma's health fight became a pivotal experience that would shape his life and the way he approaches cancer awareness today. He told People: 'My memory of it is like it happened yesterday because of this sort of uproar it caused in our family. In those days, the odds were not good. I 100 percent remember our family feeling lost, wishing that there was more that could be done.' Rob affectionately refers to his grandmother as 'my beloved,' and recounts the profound impact her illness had on their family. As Mim's condition worsened, doctors told her to 'get her affairs in order' in a grim diagnosis that devastated the family. But just as it seemed there were no options left, Mim's fate took a dramatic turn when she was accepted into a clinical trial for breast cancer treatments. Rob also explained how the clinical trial changed everything for his grandmother, saying: 'There were multiple times where she had run out of options and just at that moment there was a clinical trial (that) changed the course of her cancer journey.' Mim's survival story became a beacon of hope for Rob and his family. The actor said: 'She survived and thrived longer than anyone with her type of cancer in those days.' He added Mim's success in the trial not only defied the odds but also paved the way for treatments that would later become standard care. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and affects more than two MILLION women a year Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Each year in the UK there are more than 55,000 new cases, and the disease claims the lives of 11,500 women. In the US, it strikes 266,000 each year and kills 40,000. But what causes it and how can it be treated? What is breast cancer? It comes from a cancerous cell which develops in the lining of a duct or lobule in one of the breasts. When the breast cancer has spread into surrounding tissue it is called 'invasive'. Some people are diagnosed with 'carcinoma in situ', where no cancer cells have grown beyond the duct or lobule. Most cases develop in those over the age of 50 but younger women are sometimes affected. Breast cancer can develop in men, though this is rare. Staging indicates how big the cancer is and whether it has spread. Stage 1 is the earliest stage and stage 4 means the cancer has spread to another part of the body. The cancerous cells are graded from low, which means a slow growth, to high, which is fast-growing. High-grade cancers are more likely to come back after they have first been treated. What causes breast cancer? A cancerous tumour starts from one abnormal cell. The exact reason why a cell becomes cancerous is unclear. It is thought that something damages or alters certain genes in the cell. This makes the cell abnormal and multiply 'out of control'. Although breast cancer can develop for no apparent reason, there are some risk factors that can increase the chance, such as genetics. What are the symptoms of breast cancer? The usual first symptom is a painless lump in the breast, although most are not cancerous and are fluid filled cysts, which are benign. The first place that breast cancer usually spreads to is the lymph nodes in the armpit. If this occurs you will develop a swelling or lump in an armpit. How is breast cancer diagnosed? Initial assessment: A doctor examines the breasts and armpits. They may do tests such as a mammography, a special x-ray of the breast tissue which can indicate the possibility of tumours. Biopsy: A biopsy is when a small sample of tissue is removed from a part of the body. The sample is then examined under a microscope to look for abnormal cells. The sample can confirm or rule out cancer. If you are confirmed to have breast cancer, further tests may be needed to assess if it has spread. For example, blood tests, an ultrasound scan of the liver or a chest X-ray. How is breast cancer treated? Treatment options which may be considered include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone treatment. Often a combination of two or more of these treatments are used. Surgery: Breast-conserving surgery or the removal of the affected breast depending on the size of the tumour. Radiotherapy: A treatment which uses high energy beams of radiation focused on cancerous tissue. This kills cancer cells, or stops them from multiplying. It is mainly used in addition to surgery. Chemotherapy: A treatment of cancer by using anti-cancer drugs which kill cancer cells, or stop them from multiplying. Hormone treatments: Some types of breast cancer are affected by the 'female' hormone oestrogen, which can stimulate the cancer cells to divide and multiply. Treatments which reduce the level of these hormones, or prevent them from working, are commonly used in people with breast cancer. How successful is treatment? The outlook is best in those who are diagnosed when the cancer is still small, and has not spread. Surgical removal of a tumour in an early stage may then give a good chance of cure. The routine mammography offered to women between the ages of 50 and 71 means more breast cancers are being diagnosed and treated at an early stage.
