Princess Andre 'scaring' dad Peter as he looks forward to her wedding
Peter Andre is celebrating a big milestone this week - his daughter Princess Andre's 18th birthday. And as he admits, it's given him mixed feelings as he admits he's quite 'scared' he has no control over what she does anymore, but could not be proud of the young woman she's become. The Mysterious Girl singer also opens up on some very exciting music news and as Jeff Bezos married his wife in a rumoured £30m wedding, reminisces on his own big day with NHS doctor Emily MacDonagh... Jeff Bezos is thought to have spent somewhere around £30m on his wedding, but maybe that's tame for the richest man in the world?! A wedding is about what you want it to be. Sometimes it's not about the money spent, but the simple touches or just the family you have around you. It made me think about mine and Emily's wedding 10 years ago, and I wouldn't change it for the world. It was the best day, phenomenal – and it certainly didn't cost anywhere near £30m! My beautiful daughter, Princess, has hit the 18 mark! It is so scary, but she's a blessing. She's very driven, she's funny, she's kind, she has a beautiful heart, and she's completely bonkers – and that's exactly why I love her. Yes, I'm a bit nervous about it all, because, by the time this column comes out, I have no legal parental responsibility over her… She can do what she likes and make her own decisions. To be honest, she's been doing that for the last year anyway, and I'm proud of everything she's done. She'll always be my little girl, and I guess I can rest in the knowledge that hopefully, one day, I'll be the one walking her down the aisle. So I'll be a soppy dad all over again. My new song, Island Girl, is coming out this summer and I'm getting very excited about it. I had so much fun writing it and working with the brilliant Lady Leshurr. We're bringing a Mysterious Girl vibe to 2025. The kids love it – so that's a win for me already. In the meantime, we're asking people to show us their Island Girl dance. Upload on Instagram and tag me, so I can repost. I spotted two huge birthdays this week – and both of them made me really stop and think about how fast time flies (especially when you're having fun!). Rock icon Debbie Harry is turning 80 – how has that happened?! And radio DJ Jo Whiley is 60. Jo's interviewed me lots in the past, so I've known her a long time and had no idea she was older than me, let alone 60 this year. They're both incredible women, so happy birthday!

Peter Andre issues stark warning to daughter Princess as she turns 18 and follows in mum Katie Price's footsteps
PETER Andre celebrated his daughter Princess turning 18 with photos from her life - but shared a stark warning on her birthday. The proud dad reflected on the milestone but told her to "be careful in this crazy world" as she takes her first steps into the spotlight. 5 5 5 Peter said: "Not enough words. So much love. My little girl is no longer a little girl. "Keep being you. Kind, funny, sensitive, considerate and a bit bonkers….. oh, and a diva. But a diva full of heart. "I know I tell you everyday but I'll say it again. I love you so much. "Happy 18th beautiful and please stay happy. But be careful in this crazy world. Im always here. Always. Dad." It comes as her mum Katie Price was forced to delete her birthday tribute to Princess - as she posted it 48 hours early. The mum-of-five took to social media to wish her eldest daughter a happy birthday on Friday. The 47-year-old who is currently in Dubai posted a sweet photo of her daughter on social media. She captioned the image: "Happy 18th Birthday to the most amazing daughter. "And my best friend @princess_andre. I love you so much." But Princess Andre was born on the 29th of June and Katie posted it on the 27th. Realising her mistake, Katie then deleted her post and put up another image of her stunning daughter. This time she captioned it with two love hearts and said: " 2 days until Princess turns 18 can't believe it xx." Princess has already achieved much as she turns 18. She has passed her driving test and shared pictures of her white Audi A1 she had bought. Not only does the young teen have a swanky ride, but she even got a personalised number plate to boot. Princess is already signed to the same agency as older brother, Junior. But she hopes the fly-on-the-wall series will help launch her catwalk career. A TV insider told The Sun: 'Princess is very conscious of the fact her mum got famous very early in her career, so Katie is a big inspiration to her. 'Bagging her own TV show is a huge deal, but producers are keen to stress it is about her and not her famous parents Katie and Peter started their relationship in 2004 after getting together on I'm A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here!. They had Junior and Princess during their four-year marriage. But their relationship fell apart in 2009 and they divorced.

Why is Maga-land so obsessed with Kai Trump turning 18? Do you really need to ask?
Kai Trump, the president's granddaughter and the eldest of Donald Trump Jr's five children, has just turned 18. To be clear, I do not have a list of Trump family birthdays on my fridge. But it has been forced upon my consciousness because an awful lot of people in Trumpworld are being weird about it. Fox News, for example, decided to post both an Instagram message (which got more than 87,000 likes) and a tweet wishing Kai a very happy 18th birthday. Which is a little odd considering that the high school student is not a public figure. Kai, who has a large social media following, did briefly speak at the Republican national convention last year and has posted support for her grandfather, but that doesn't seem to justify a birthday announcement by a major media network. Especially, by the way, as Fox News doesn't appear to have been so excited about Barron Trump when he turned 18. (Although it did put up an Instagram post on Barron's 19th birthday, with a quote from Donald calling him a 'a very smart guy'.) It's almost – and bear with me here – as if they have some sort of weird interest in the fact that a teenage girl has turned 18. Am I accusing the folk at Fox News of being a bunch of creeps? Absolutely not! I'd never do that. Although if you look at the reactions to the Fox News posts or the comments attached to a New York Post Page Six piece about Kai's birthday, there are plenty of people out there who should be on some sort of watchlist or registry. Particularly the people who have read far too much into the fact that Kai recently posted a TikTok video of her and three friends dancing to Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado and Timbaland with the caption: 'last day being 17″. While things have moved on somewhat, there's also a very depressing history of media figures counting down to young girls turning the age of consent. Look at British singer Charlotte Church, who got a record deal as an opera singer when she was just 12. There was a media frenzy in 2002 when she turned 16 (the age of consent in England). On her birthday, Chris Moyles, a BBC radio DJ who was 28 at the time, publicly announced he wanted to 'lead her through the forest of sexuality now she had reached 16'. Making this disgusting comment didn't ruin Moyles's career, by the way. Just like 38-year-old Jerry Seinfeld dating a 17-year-old high schooler hasn't hurt the billionaire comedian's career at all either. Harry Potter star Emma Watson has also talked about being sexualized by the media when she was a teenager. Watson has said the paparazzi even took photos up her skirt, and published them in an English tabloid, the moment she turned 18 and it was 'legal'. It was a similar story with twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who have been on TV since they were tiny. In 2004 numerous websites started counting down to their 18th birthday including the 'Olsen Twin Jailbait Countdown Clock' run by radio shock jocks Lex Staley and Terry Jaymes. The New York Post also crowed about the twins being 'legal'. More recently, in 2018, a radio host called Patrick Connor called Olympic athlete Chloe Kim, then just 17 years old, a 'little hot piece of ass'. Conner then referenced Wooderson, a character in the film Dazed and Confused who pursues high school girls. 'Her 18th birthday is 23 April, and the countdown is on baby, 'cause I got my Wooderson going,' said Connor. ''That's what I like about them high school girls.'' In a sign that some progress has made when it comes to mainstream misogyny, Connor was forced to apologize for the remark and fired. Since we live in litigious times I would like to reiterate, once again, that while some people (not me!) have accused Fox News of being creepy about Kai, I'm sure they meant nothing sinister by their post. After all, unlike depraved liberals, the Maga crowd are an extremely wholesome bunch who live and die for family values. I will concede, however, that it is sometimes hard to wrap one's head around the Maga definition of 'family values'. The president, for example, is a legally defined sexual predator who has also been accused, by Miles Taylor, a staffer in Trump's first administration, of sexualizing his oldest daughter Ivanka. In a book published in 2023, Taylor writes: '[Trump] said he talked about Ivanka Trump's breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led [former chief of staff] John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter.' Former Fox News star Tucker Carlson also seems to have a strange definition of family values. I'm sorry to remind you of this if you've wiped it from your memory but last year Carlson made an extraordinary (even by Maga standards) speech at a Trump rally in which he likened the now president to an angry father spanking his daughter. 'I'm not going to lie. It's going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me,' Carlson said. 'And you earned this. You're getting a vigorous spanking because you've been a bad girl. You're only going to get better when you take responsibility for what you did. It has to be this way.'' The crowd then erupted into chants of 'Daddy Don'! Maga also seems to adopt different values, depending on what sort of family they're looking at. Conservative influencers were vile about Ella Emhoff, Kamala Harris's stepdaughter, when Harris was running for president. Newsweek senior editor Josh Hammer wrote: 'Doug Emhoff's daughter is like something out of a horror film,' for example. Podcast host Benny Johnson also called Emhoff and her father 'creepy' for having their arms around each other in a video. The right seems eager to scrutinize the family of politicians when they don't agree with their politics. They went on the warpath, however, when a former NBCUniversal executive joked about Barron being 'fair game' (meaning that it was OK for the press to criticize him) when he turned 18. Anyway, happy birthday to Kai Trump. At 18 she is still very young – but it would seem like it's the Maga adults who have the real growing up to do.
