Katie Price's Son Junior Andre Juggled a Full-Time Job to Make It in Music on His Own Terms — Details

The young musician kept a surprising secret while chasing his music dreams. He quietly took on a gruelling night job to fund his career on his own terms.

While most people his age were sleeping, Junior Andre was quietly clocking in for night shifts — and almost nobody knew about it.

The 20-year-old son of '90s pop icon Pete Andre and former model Katie Price has revealed that behind the scenes of his rising music career, he was secretly working full-time night shifts for Transport for London (TFL) — grafting on the London Underground to fund his passion without touching a penny of his famous father's fortune.

Junior opened up about his hidden double life during an episode of the ITV2 reality series "The Princess Diaries", in a candid conversation with his younger sister Princess, 18. The revelation has since won him a wave of admiration from fans who had no idea the aspiring singer was getting his hands dirty to make his dreams a reality.

Working Through the Night

Speaking about his secret TFL job on the show, Junior didn't sugarcoat how tough it had been. "It's been a long time coming, it's been hard, you know I've obviously had to do nine-to-five, Monday to Friday," he said.

"I found a night job basically just working on the London Underground, grafting, lifting heavy metals, cutting, filing, painting. I got them jobs so I could do my music career, so I could fund it."

Junior explained that the gruelling schedule came about while he was sorting out "differences" with his record label — a period of uncertainty that left him needing to support himself financially while keeping his music ambitions alive. Rather than turn to his parents, he made the decision to go it entirely alone.

"I've done night shifts because you have to actually pay to do music. People don't really know that," he said. "I live off myself, I don't live off mum and dad."

A Son Determined to Stand on His Own Two Feet

Princess was full of pride when reflecting on what her brother had put himself through.

"So proud of Junior — his last two singles went in at number one, but while he was sorting differences out with his label, he went to work through the nights and work a full-time job so he was fully self-sufficient. Which I'm super proud of," she said.

The young reality star also admitted she has her own musical ambitions, but watching how hard her father rehearses and the dedication he puts into his tours has made her realise she needs to "get up to scratch" with singing and dancing lessons before taking the plunge herself.

Fans Rally Behind Junior

The revelation quickly sparked a warm reaction online, with many praising Junior for his refreshingly grounded attitude.

"So much respect x," one admirer wrote warmly. "A very grounded young man," another fan declared, clearly moved by Junior's dignity.

"Pete and Emily have brought you up to be a lovely caring young man who doesn't take things for granted. Don't change x," a third wrote tenderly, referring to Peter's wife, Emily MacDonagh.

Not everyone could quite believe what they were hearing, though. "Thought he signed a big deal with a record company not long ago what happened..and how did he just walk into a job on the London underground...must be highly sought after [sic]," one netizen mused.

The comments took a tender turn too, with several fans noting a striking family resemblance. "Looks like his brother Harvey 🫶🏼," one fan noted affectionately, while another echoed, "Good on him lovely young man looks like he's dad looks a bit like Harvey well done [sic]."

'We're Just Young People Working Out Our Lives'

Junior's TFL confession comes just weeks after he appeared on "This Morning" together with Princess, where the siblings spoke openly about fame, family, and carving out their own identities beyond the Andre name.

During that appearance, Junior summed up his outlook with a maturity that belied his age:

"We're just young people working out our lives, trying to work hard, trying to make a living for ourselves — and that's what we're doing."

Yet even as Junior and Princess navigate their own paths with quiet determination, life at home has handed them a far less straightforward storyline to contend with.

The siblings recently admitted they were completely blindsided when their mother, Katie, announced her engagement — and subsequent marriage — to a Dubai-based businessman via a family WhatsApp message.

As Amomama readers may recall, the 47-year-old former glamour model confirmed her marriage just hours after she announced their engagement and has since sparked serious concern among her loved ones amid fears she is spiralling.

Katie Price's family was left stunned and deeply alarmed after she revealed she had tied the knot just one week after meeting Dubai-based businessman Lee Andrews.

The whirlwind romance has reportedly triggered crisis talks among her loved ones, who are said to be preparing an intervention amid fears for her well-being.

The shock announcement came in late January when Katie disclosed on Instagram that she and Lee were not only engaged but had already wed in a low-key ceremony in Dubai. No family members were present.

According to sources, her relatives were blindsided by the news and only learned about the engagement at the same time as the public — via her social media. An insider said:

"The family found out about the engagement on Instagram. They were stunned. It came as a massive shock to them all. Katie's family are so worried as it's all happening so fast."

Katie's relatives, already unsettled by her recent split from JJ Slater just weeks ago, have yet to meet Lee. Their concern has only deepened, as this latest wedding marks her ninth engagement and fourth marriage.

In a further twist, Katie explained that her connection with Lee began online and intensified rapidly. "How I met Lee was esoteric," she shared. "We connected by checking each other's socials and quickly realised, 'Wow, this is for me.'"

She went on to say they had matching tattoos and exchanged rings before even meeting in person. "We let fate, or you could say destiny, decide," Katie added.

Her family, however, seems unconvinced by the idea of destiny. A source close to them revealed that they are planning to sit Katie down for a serious discussion. The insider said:

"Everyone is worried she's spinning out of control. They haven't even met this man and if she's only known him a week, he could be anyone. Nobody is planning to hold back."

Concerns have been amplified by red flags surrounding Lee. The Sun recently reported that photographs of him had appeared on male escort websites in Dubai under the name Noah.

Responding to the claims, Lee, who, according to his social media, is the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 as well as an investor in SpaceX Hybrid Fitness, stated, "I can assure you I am definitely not."

"I don't know if it's a disgruntled ex using my pictures and fake images or taking something from Instagram. I can assure you it's definitely not me. That is not true; it is not what I do," he continued.

Further scrutiny of his social media shows him appearing in allegedly edited photos alongside tech mogul Elon Musk and reality TV star Kim Kardashian, prompting more doubts about the authenticity of his online presence.

Lee was also previously married to fitness influencer Dina Sari Taji, with whom he was believed to have been in a relationship from 2020 to 2024.

The timing of the marriage, so soon after her split from JJ, has only deepened public scepticism.

Fans quickly noticed similarities between the ring he gave Dina and the one now seen on Katie's finger, sparking speculation he may have recycled the same engagement ring.

Compounding matters, The Sun reported that Lee had proposed to another woman just four months ago — and in the same fashion. The subsequent backlash online has been swift and brutal.

Many netizens voiced alarm over Katie's decisions and the potential consequences for her children. One person typed, "Poor kids 😢," while another added, "Another man around her kids."

Concern for her family life was a recurring theme, with one comment reading, "Marrying a man your kids have never met is borderline social service call out." Another individual questioned her priorities, typing, "Her poor kids this parade of men did she even think about them? [sic]"

Others expressed more sorrow than judgement, as one netizen wrote, "Shocking. But let's hope this Lee is not user. Feel sorry for her most of young men she goes for just using her and dump her [sic] 😢😢."

A particularly distressed comment read, "My heart breaks for her. She's starving to death as well as broken. Surely someone can intervene as she is very very ill and I don't honestly think she will be with us for much longer."

The timing of the marriage, so soon after her split from JJ, has only deepened public scepticism. That, combined with questions around Lee's background and alleged online fabrications, has led to mounting calls for Katie's inner circle to step in.

The lack of family involvement and the way in which major life events have been revealed via social media rather than direct contact has created a sense of estrangement between Katie and those closest to her.

Their planned intervention appears to be a last-ditch effort to re-establish some connection and bring clarity to a situation that, to outsiders and relatives alike, seems increasingly volatile.
