Katie Price clears up biggest misconception about her kids Junior and Princess

Katie Price has set the record straight and her son, Junior, and daughter, Princess, who she shares with I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! co-star, Peter Andre

Katie Price reckons people have got the wrong idea about her kids, Junior and Princess.

The mum-of-five shares her son, 19, and daughter, 17, with Peter Andre, who she met on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! Having grown up in the spotlight, Princess and Junior are now following their parents' footsteps into fame, however, Katie says the teens are making their own way in life, insisting she's not a "pushy parent".

Speaking about the so-called 'nepo babies' off the back of of Junior's music career and Princess' lucrative modelling gigs, she said: "I'm not a pushy parent. Junior, naturally, is a talented dancer, singer. He got his scholarship at school to do drama so we always knew he would do something like that. If you look at his Instagram, I don't even think there's a picture of me and him on it, because he doesn't want to be associated. He wants to do it himself, wants to credit himself, so he does that."

Championing Princess, she told the Netmums podcast: "And then with Princess, you can't deny she's a pretty girl. So she gets offered all this stuff, no different to anyone else. And again, she doesn't use us on her page or anything. I don't go to events with her to be pictured to help her."

With access to their parents' famous contacts and thousands of followers on social media because of their celebrity connections, many have accused Junior and Princess of being nepo babies - a term referring to people whose parents have succeeded in similar or related careers.

However, Katie insists this isn't the case, saying: "People might say it's their daughter or their son, but you've got to give them credit. They're doing it themselves. I don't interfere. And I don't certainly don't make phone calls to get them jobs, and that they do it purely on their own, and that's what they want to do. They're like, no, we want to do it ourselves, not have any of your input."

Princess herself denied she's where she is because of her parents when she spoke about finding her feet in the industry. Talking to The Sun about her nepo baby tag, she said: "It honestly doesn't bother me, because I know that's not the case. Obviously, it has helped, but if you don't put the work in yourself, you're not going to get anywhere.

"Their experience has helped get me to a certain point, but after that, I work for what I achieve. I'm doing that independently and people now know me as me rather than my parents' daughter. I know if I hadn't put in the work, then I probably wouldn't be where I am."
