Katie Price has shared candid reflections on her past struggles, including a period of addiction and its impact on her children, alongside a surprising confession about her relationship with disposable cameras. In a recent interview, the 48-year-old former glamour model revealed that she would be cautious about the resurgence of disposable cameras due to the nature of photos she takes.
"Nowadays, because you’ve got your phone, I think people take more explicit photos," Price told Joe Baggs on Love Island Aftersun, while promoting her Sky documentary series, "Nothing To Hide." She added, "With a disposable, you have to be careful and remember you have to take them somewhere like Boots. So someone is going to look at your pictures. So someone like me is definitely not having a disposable. I don’t want to bring them back."
Price's comments come as her new documentary series has resonated with viewers, many of whom expressed emotional reactions to the revelations made by her children, Princess and Junior. The documentary delves into a difficult period in the late 2010s when Price experienced a public breakdown following the collapse of her marriage to Kieran Hayler. During this time, she struggled with depression and cocaine addiction.
Princess and Junior, who were young children at the time, shared their experiences of looking after themselves and their younger siblings, Jett and Bunny, while their mother was struggling. Junior, now 21, recalled the challenges, stating, "That was probably the most difficult time of my life, our lives." Princess described feeling lonely and clinging to a blanket sprayed with her mother's perfume as a connection.
Junior also shared a disturbing memory of waking up to find his mother under the influence of drugs, which deeply frightened him. "She was obviously on stuff and it scared me, I'd never seen my mum like this," he recounted. He added, "The mum that I knew from when I was a little boy, the amount of love she gave me was so immense, that's what I missed so much. Mum was on drugs and she couldn't look after us and that was the reality of it."
Feeling the environment was unhealthy, Junior, then 14, moved to live with his father, Peter Andre, while Princess chose to remain. Price herself reflected on her children's experiences in the documentary, expressing deep regret. "When I hear how the kids saw it, it breaks my heart," she said. "They were still always looked after by people around me, but that's not good enough, kids need their mum." She acknowledged her inability to care for herself during that period, stating, "I couldn't even look after myself. I didn't want to be here, I wanted to die."
The series also touches upon the incident in September 2021 when Price flipped her car while driving under the influence, an event that occurred while she was reportedly experiencing suicidal thoughts.
