Katie Price and Peter Andre’s son Junior signs contract for own clothing range

He's not even a teenager yet!

Katie Price and Peter Andre’s son Junior has landed his very first solo job in showbiz.

The 12-year-old has been a fixture on TV screens and in magazines since he was born (well, before he was even born, actually!) but now he’s branching out from the family job.

According to reports, Junior has signed a contract with Intense Menswear to launch his very own clothing range.

He was seen at the company’s office in Manchester on Wednesday to sign on the dotted line, with proud mum Katie next to him.

Junior’s little sister Princess, ten, was also there.

So far there’s been no word from Katie or Peter on just what exactly Junior will be creating – or from Junior himself on how it feels to have his very own clothing deal when he’s not even a teenager!

However, the Manchester Evening News reports that Junior has spent the last six months designing his range and will model it himself when it launches in April.

Katie first teased Junior’s fashion range last year, when she revealed on Loose Women her children had been given opportunities that most grown adults can only dream about.

She said: “Being in the industry, my kids get offered things, but I do think they should get their education first.

“Princess has been offered a book deal but even if she did it, she would only promote it in the summer holidays.

“Junior has been offered a clothing deal and I’ll say to him, ‘Do you want to do it or do you not want to do it?’

“Junior wants to be a vlogger, or whatever they are, and have a YouTube channel. He wants to be a star like that.

“I have to rein him in and say, ‘Junior, you can’t just go on this because of who you are. Your friends may have it but you can’t because you’re different’ and people will try to pinpoint him, different to other kids.”

Katie insisted she would never push her kids to follow her into the industry but it was only natural they were being offered starry experiences given who their parents are.

“They’ve already done jobs already, little bits and bobs,”she said.

“I’m not pushing them. We are so normal at home. They don’t go to a dance school where you get pushed into it. We are so relaxed and normal, but naturally they get asked to do stuff.

“But because I’m in the industry, I don’t like the industry, because I know what it can be like.”

Junior and Princess have been in the public eye since their birth.

Both featured on their now-divorced parents’ long-running series of fly-on-the-wall reality shows, while also being photographed for numerous magazine covers.

They’ve popped up on Loose Women alongside their mum and frequently appear on their parents’ social media accounts.

Last year, Katie said the two kids were actually turning down job offers after constantly being approached about flogging products.

As well as turning down modelling offers on their behalf, the ex model also said there had been talks about getting them their own TV show.

“They have had offers for everything. I have to remember they are still kids,” she said in a Facebook Q&A.

“Junior wants to present Jeremy Kyle, he wants to go on X Factor then he says he wants to do Britain’s Got Talent.

“He wants to do everything, he says ‘I just want to be on TV’.”

Clearly taking after his mum, then!
