Katie Price's new four-part Sky documentary, 'Nothing To Hide,' has been described as "tragic viewing" by critics. The series follows the 48-year-old former glamour model, who is noted for having undergone significant plastic surgery. The documentary includes intimate moments from her life, with Price attributing her behavior to ADHD rather than taking personal responsibility.
The most discussed aspect of the documentary involves Price's children with Peter Andre, Junior, 21, and Princess, 19. Both children recount their decision to leave their mother and live with their father. Junior recalled that his mother was "on drugs and she could not look after us," leading the children to fend for themselves. Princess described feeling abandoned, receiving only a blanket with her mother's perfume on it to comfort her while Price was reportedly out.
This contrasts with a previous documentary, 'Katie Price: Harvey And Me,' which focused on her relationship with her disabled son Harvey and received positive reception. In 'Nothing To Hide,' Price acknowledges the pain of her children's perspective but states they "were always looked after." The author of the notes, Amanda Platell, argues that the children were "deserted for money, fame and to chase men" and that Price should feel shame.
Political and Social Commentary
Beyond the focus on Katie Price, the provided notes touch upon various other topics. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has reportedly apologized for Labour's stance on Gaza, indicating plans to increase pressure on the Israeli government, potentially including sanctions.
The notes also briefly mention the posthumous royal pardon for Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged in Britain in 1955. The event has local significance for the author, whose local pub bore bullet holes attributed to the crime.
Separately, a small Welsh Corgi named Daphne, who herds sheep, has gone viral, prompting reflection on courage and stepping outside comfort zones.
The success of British tennis player Arthur Fery at Wimbledon is also mentioned, though his family's significant wealth is noted, challenging a pure "rags-to-riches" narrative.
In personal reflections, the author contrasts the elaborate celebrity weddings of today, referencing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's reported £15 million event, with her own more modest wedding in the Eighties. Actor Matt Damon's family rule of limiting his children's smartphone use and encouraging boredom is also highlighted, with the author linking it to creativity and success.
Brief mentions are also made of Adele at the British Grand Prix, Jennifer Lopez at Paris Fashion Week, and a private visit by Meghan Markle and her children to the UK to see King Charles and Queen Camilla.
