Peter Andre and Katie Price disagree over Princess, 17, career rumours
Peter Andre has candidly shared his thoughts in his weekly column about the swirling rumours that his daughter Princess might join Love Island, expressing confusion about their origin and pointing out that at 17, she's not even of legal age to apply.
He wrote: "There's been a lot of talk about Princess going on Love Island, and I don't know where it came from. She's not 18 yet, so it's not even an option."
The doting dad admits he would back her if she decided to join the ITV2 programme, but it's not a path he'd pick for her.
"Whether she chooses to do it in the future is up to her, but of course it's every dad's nightmare," he said.
"Then again, I look at people like Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, and others, and see how happy they were in their relationships that came from the show. It's about what makes Princess happy at the end of the day. I wouldn't stop her, but if she asks my opinion, I'll be honest."

Meanwhile, Katie Price has revealed on her podcast, the Katie Price Show, that she's encouraged Princess to consider joining Love Island. Chatting with her sister Sophie Price, the 47-year-old model and businesswoman disclosed her support for Princess entering the ITV2 dating series, despite her daughter's reluctance to be labelled as a 'Love Islander', reports the Mirror.
Katie revealed: "Love Island starts soon. I keep saying to Princess 'Why don't you do Love Island?'" Princess, however, does not seem to be on the same page about joining the reality show as her mother is. Relaying a conversation with her sister, Katie shared that Princess expressed no interest in being pegged as a 'Love Islander'.
When prompted with her mum's suggestion of participating in the dating series, Princess responded: "No... because otherwise I'll be known as a Love Islander."

Princess disclosed her true aspirations saying;: "I'd love to be a TV presenter. I'd love to host something like Love Island. I wouldn't want to take part in the show as a contestant, but I'd love to be as good a host as Maya Jama."
Talking about her ambitions in an exclusive shoot last year with Junior for OK!, the 16-year-old said she'd like to go on I'm a Celebrity...., but only if her brother joined her. "We'd have to do it together, but that would be fun. I'd be terrified, but that would be so iconic."
