Alright, so I admit it. I have been known to stray into the realms of ITV2 and drop the odd stick onto the Katie Price PR inferno by bumping up the ratings for that damned reality show – What Katie Did Next. But hear me out. I have my reasons, Or rather, one reason. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the star and everything to do with her youngest child. The wide eyed babbling blonde I have started to refer to as Princess Pete, given her quite startling resemblance to her father in all but colouring. Princess looks like a tiny female version of Pete after a few 90 degree washes. She is, you have to agree, adorable.
Despite having grown up with a film crew, Princess still reacts to their presence with the unblinking fascination that most children reserve for Santa Claus, or when they are very tiny, their own feet. The rest of the time, she wobbles round Katie’s ever so stately home, burbling away in her own special language, perfectly content in her crazy two year old world. She’s the ideal antithesis to Mummy’s monotone voice and fame hungry eyes.
Most things either please or confuse Princess. Sometimes both. Fish fingers for example. There’s a lot of entertainment to be had in one’s dinner, but also, a lot to think about.
Given what her parents do for a living, it’s surely only a matter of time before the kid gets her own show. Is there any way of fast tracking this? I’d love to see Princess fronting a cookery slot on This Morning, hurling mashed up fairy cakes at Phil and Holly, or becoming a guest panellist on Loose Women. Maybe she could have her own chat show? Or read the news? Can somebody, anybody, make this happen?
