Peter Andre reverses Love Island villa ban on daughter Princess, 15, but admits he has another dream for his kids
PETER Andre has revealed he has reversed his Love Island ban on daughter Princess, 15, on Good Morning Britain.
Pete, who shares Princess and son Junior, 17, with wife Katie Price, previously told how his teenage daughter wanted to go on the ITV dating show.
GMB hosts Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway, who have teenagers of their own, asked Pete about his tough stance on the matter today.
The singer, 49, had previously said joining the cast was out of the question but when asked if he had banned Princess, he said: “No.
But he insisted the one way the teenager could make him happy would be by getting into the villa as the presenter, a job currently taken by Maya Jama.
He added: “I think, look, I say things in jest a lot of the time. I said my daughter was going to be a nun for years and I was secretly joking.
“What I said to them was, ‘If you had a choice I’d rather you present Love Island.’
“I’ve always said that to them. Try to be a presenter. Look at yourself in that way.
“If they go on it I’ll just leave the country!”
Writing in his New magazine column Peter previously said he would hate to see his kids on controversial Love Island.
He has long said no to Princess appearing on the show, explaining as far back as 2019.
He explained: “She said to me, ‘Would you ever let me go on Love Island?’
“I said to her, ‘When they start doing Love Island based on priests and nuns and they’re having their sermons on Sundays you can go on Love Island but until then no chance’.”
He also sent his sympathy’s to Michael Owen on the last series after his daughter Gemma entered the show.
“I have to say I feel every inch of pain Michael Owen must be going through seeing his daughter Gemma on Love Island,” Peter, said.
“Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great show but it’s not exactly ideal as a dad, is it?”
