Katie Price praises Peter Andre as son Junior signs a record deal

The Loose Women star thinks her 16-year-old is about to hit the big time

Katie Price has praised her ex-husband Peter Andre, proving the two are still on good terms.

The Loose Women star split with the Mysterious Girl singer 12 years ago, but the pair still co-parent their children Princess, 14, and Junior, 16.

Junior signed a record deal last month, and now Katie has opened up about how proud she is.

Even though Katie herself has released records, she confessed that Junior gets his singing chops from his dad, Peter.

“He’ll be a little star,” Katie told New Magazine.

“He’s always been good at singing. His dad [Peter] is the singer even though I still try, but his dad knows more in that area than me.”
