Princess Andre has admitted that comments surrounding Katie Price’s ongoing weight loss made her ‘feel sick,’ as she spoke candidly about her mother’s struggles
Katie Price is not happy with her appearance, according to her daughter Princess Andre. In a new episode of her ITV reality show, The Princess Diaries, the 18-year-old has opened up about her mum’s ongoing weight loss and appearance.
In recent months, Katie’s appearance has sparked concern among fans and her family, who have been having “honest” conversations with the former model. But her daughter, Princess, has now said that cruel comments about Katie’s frail appearance had left her feeling “sick”.
During one scene, Princess, who is carving a name out for herself, sat down with pal Heidi Katona, the daughter of Katie’s best friend, Kerry Katona. “I feel bad for mum as she is not the most happy with herself, people all slate her for how she looks,” Princess told Heidi.

The teen went on to add: “I posted a vid of her out shopping the other day, and the comments made me feel sick. I’ve never seen anything like it. We’ve all told her she looks skinny, but why do other people have a right to comment on it? The amount of hate she got was awful.”
Katie herself has previously stated that she was concerned about her “gaunt” appearance and was seeking medical advice. Speaking on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, with her younger sister, the former glamour model commented: “I know I look gaunt, I look like I’m ill – hence why I’m going to the doctors tomorrow.
“I don’t know how many times I have to say to people, ‘Yes, I know I’ve lost weight,’ and there’s obviously a reason, I said it to the doctor. We all know that we’re trying to sort it all out, and as soon as I know, then I’ll let everyone know.”
She went on to say that she desperately wants to put on weight but was unable to. She explained: “I just wanna put on weight, I really do, but I’m just not. Everyone knows I eat – I eat anything that I want, I’ve never had a problem with what I eat.”
In October last year, it emerged that Katie had been hospitalised over her weight loss, and even medical staff were baffled by her ongoing problems. Speaking directly to fans, she said: “I’ve been up early at the doctors so she could do some bloods and because my veins are so s**t they had three attempts.
“They could only fill two tubes up, so I’ve got to go back in two weeks. And I’ve got to have my stitches out then because they looked at my little stab wound that I did… The reason I’m going to the doctors is because I keep losing weight and I don’t know why. So that’s that.”
But in December, the Mirror revealed that those close to Katie had been open about their concerns with the television personality. A source told us that Katie’s family have “honest” talks with her. Our source said: “They do share their concerns with Kate and have open, honest conversations with her about how she’s feeling – including her mental health and her weight loss.
“Those conversations come from a place of love, care and support, and they remain private within the family. What people too often forget is just how much Kate has been through and how much she has already overcome. Her well-being is, and always will be, the priority, and it’s something she is actively working on.”
Our source went on to slam “absolutely devastating” speculation about Katie’s appearance. They said: “It was quite frankly completely unnecessary. It was cruel, hurtful and deeply insensitive, and it reduced a very real, very personal journey into a sensationalised narrative. There was no consideration for the impact those words might have, not just on Kate, but on her family too.”
