Katie Price talks about her new documentary Nothing to Hide.
Katie Price’s emotional children broke down in tears as they recalled how their mother’s drug use left her unable to care for them properly and they felt “alone” and unloved.
Junior, 21, and Princess, 19, have grown up in the spotlight since their parents Katie and Peter Andre split when they were very young. And they also dealt with the fallout afterwards, with Katie struggling to cope and at one stage turning to cocaine to try and cope with her problems.
Junior says: “I remember missing her so much. This time in particular I was lying in her bed waiting for her to come back and I woke up at probably 3:30 in the morning with some loud noises and I see her come into the room and I’ll never forget the look on her face, she was obviously busy doing something, right?
“I saw it in her eyes, and I… it scared me, because I’ve never seen my mom look like that. She’s here, but she’s not there, you know.”

Junior adds: “She wasn’t in the right place, she really wasn’t. And she wasn’t a mom, she wasn’t the mom I knew when I was a little boy.
“The amount of love she gave me was so huge that that’s what I was missing. Mom was on drugs and she couldn’t take care of us, and that’s the reality. She couldn’t. She couldn’t.”
“And then I got tired of it. I realized it was a very unhealthy environment and I needed to get out. I left. I think I was about 14 or 15. Thank God my dad was stable, because that’s the house I went to and got my sanity back, you know.”
“Even though I wished and hoped that my mom would come back and fix herself. It made me feel like I wasn’t good enough because she didn’t fix herself for me.”
His sister Princess says: “She would give me a blanket and spray all her perfume on it, and that was my bond with my mom. So I remember going home after school and feeling so alone. I used to just snuggle into the blanket and just cry.”

She adds: “I stayed. I always wanted to be there for her, and I always wanted to show her that she has me, she has us, but she didn’t realize it at the time because she was so caught up in her own problems.”
The couple, who broke down in tears during their joint interview, also say they have had to learn to fend for themselves, including microwaving food and “taking care of each other.” In the new Sky documentary series, Katie also opens up about her past drug use. It came about a decade after her split from husband Peter Andre in 2009 and coincided with a series of failed relationships, including a troubled marriage to Kieran Hayler, whom she married in 2013.
“It was the one thing that blocked everything,” Katie says of the drugs, recalling the worst period of her life. This will eliminate the pain, eliminate any anxiety, eliminate the noise.”
She regularly used cocaine, stayed late and did not put her family first. Looking back, she says: “When I hear about the children, the way they saw it, it breaks my heart. But they were still always taken care of, there were still people around me who looked after them, as if they were helping me.
“But it’s not enough. Children need their mother, children need their mother’s love, their mother’s hugs, and I thought I had that, but obviously I didn’t. It must have been terrible for them, terrible for them, and I just feel bad for them, that I put them through this and thought I was doing the best I could with them, but what could I do?
“I wasn’t healthy. I couldn’t even take care of myself. I was at rock bottom. I didn’t want this. I wanted to die. I felt worthless and suicidal all the time.”
Katie gets candid in four-part series
After one night of drug use and drinking, she crashed her car while feeling suicidal in September 2021. At the scene of the crash, before she was taken to hospital and then to the police station, she told her mother that she “wanted to get away from this.”
“I remember when they put me in the cell, it was like peace. Peace and quiet. I found it quite comforting. It’s very sad to think about,” she recalls.
Luckily, she also believes that the six weeks she spent at the Priory after the incident saved her life and helped her learn to look after herself better. As a result, her relationship with Junior and the princess improved.
The new documentary covers Katie’s entire 30-year career, starting as a glamor model who, at the peak of her career, could command six-figure fees for photo shoots or appearances on shows such as I’m a Celebrity, where she met Peter Andre in 2004.
But since then she has gone bankrupt and become less in demand on television.
She is currently married to Dubai businessman Lee Andrews and her family are expressing shock on screen at the fact that she remarried in January to a man she had only known for a few weeks.
In the documentary, her stepfather Paul Price recalls a conversation he had before her fourth marriage.
“I asked why she was going to Dubai? “To see a guy.” I asked, “What’s the catch?” And then we find out that she is getting married. I said, “You’re crazy.” And then this dude showed up in the newspaper pretending to be a millionaire.
When asked if he’s mad at her, Paul replies, “100 percent.”
Song Jr. adds, “It’s the stupidest, stupidest thing to marry a guy she doesn’t even know. That’s my mom, that’s what she does.”
Her mother Amy Price ends the film with a simple dream that her daughter will at some stage, as she grows up, find happiness and less drama in her life.
Amy says: “She’s still like a child in some ways. But she’s a good daughter. I hope she does find someone to love and be happy.”
