Princess Andre has split from her partner, it’s been reported this week, and her mum Katie Price hinted on a podcast recently about the model going on Love Island
Reality TV star Katie Price has hinted that her daughter Princess Andre is potentially going on Love Island. It was announced earlier this afternoon that the teenager has split up from her mystery partner after two years together.
Princess, 17, had typically kept her relationship out of the spotlight, but occasionally posted about her partner. It’s now been reported this week that the former couple have separated after they “grew apart,” with the apparent break-up having been described as “tough” for the model.
Her mother Katie, 47, hinted at the prospect of Princess, who is the youngest of her two children with Peter Andre, 52, looking for love on TV in the future. She’s shared that they have discussed the idea of her going on Love Island.
Whilst speaking about TV with her sister Sophie Price on the Katie Price Show podcast, Katie said that she’s encouraged Princess to sign up for the ITV2 show. She made the remark after reminding that the new series is launching soon.
Katie said on the latest episode of the podcast, which was released yesterday: “Love Island starts soon.” Revealing that she suggested that her daughter take part, she continued: “I keep saying to Princess ‘Why don’t you do Love Island?'”
The former glamour model – who began a romance with her now ex-husband Peter on I’m A Celebrity – then shared Princess’ apparent response. She told Sophie that her niece doesn’t want to be known as a contestant from Love Island.
After saying that she had mentioned the prospect of appearing on the dating show to Princess, Katie recalled “‘No … because otherwise I’ll be known as a Love Islander’. I said, ‘No, you won’t. Everyone knows you anyway’.”
Katie’s podcast was released yesterday, prior to the news that Princess has separated from her partner, which has made headlines today. A source told the Sun, in an article published this afternoon, that there are “no hard feelings”.
The source told the outlet: “She always kept the romance out the public eye and it will be the same with her split. They just grew apart – they were each other’s first love so it has been tough but there are no hard feelings.”
“He’s still on good terms with both Katie and Peter,” the source further commented. They went on to claim that Princess is now focusing on her career following the break-up and suggested she isn’t looking for a relationship.
Katie’s comments come amid speculation over the line-up for the new series of Love Island, which is set to launch next month. ITV shared the release date just days ago, teasing in a post on Instagram that it begins June 9.
The date was seen on a piece of paper attached to a heart floating in a pool in a photo included in the post on the platform earlier this week. “Mark your calendar, you’re invited to this year’s hottest meeting,” the caption read.
