Princess made the confession on her new ITV2 reality series, The Princess Diaries, documenting the teenage star's life.

In episode 3, which aired last night, Katie Price and Peter Andre's eldest daughter was seen preparing to take part in a fashion show in Ibiza.

However, a last minute change saw her having to switch outfits, which left her feeling "uncomfortable".

 

This was because she was asked to wear just a skimpy bikini top and skirt.

Princess was seen looking horrified at the outfit.

Speaking to the camera, she explained: "The worst thing is trying to be confident in something you're not going to be confident in.

"Obviously, like, I feel fine wearing a bikini in a pool because we're in a swimming pool. No-one actually cares.

"But to walk down a catwalk in a bikini top, I'm going to feel exposed.

"I'm going to feel so uncomfortable."

Princess then added: "I was already anxious in the first place, but this has just made it ten times worse."

Princess Andre reveals nasty comments about her appearance at just aged 9 that left her in tears - saying ‘I’m quite an insecure person’

In the same episode of The Princess Diaries, the young influencer opened up about trolls commenting on her appearance when she was just nine years old.

She revealed she was made to feel like the "ugly child" and was left in tears.

She said: "I don’t think people understand how one hurtful comment can affect you for years or a lifetime at such a young age.

"Everyone has things they don’t like about themselves, because I had a lot of comments at such a young age, that has affected me, now I can’t unsee what they’ve said."

Big brother Junior then sweetly said: "I think you’re a beautiful person inside and out.

"And that’s why you’re doing so well because people can see how kind you are."

It was Princess's appearance at the fashion show that sparked the beginning of her rift with mum Katie.

The glamour veteran Katie, 47, revealed she'd been banned from appearing at the runway show, despite being on the island at the time.

Katie said she "feels like Brooklyn Beckham" - who is in the midst of a feud with his high-profile family - after being "isolated" by the teen, who has penned a host of influencer deals and bagged her own TV show.

She has addressed the strained relationship on her podcast with sister Sophie, admitting she felt upset that those behind the documentary allegedly stopped her being involved.

Katie has since shared cryptic messages on Instagram, addressing motherhood and the bond between mum and daughter.

She shared a quote which read: "Your mum is not your enemy.

"She may not always say things the way you want to hear them, but her heart is always in the right place.

"She's the one who worries when you're hurting, prays when you're lost, and stands by you even when the world doesn't.

"She's not trying to control you. She's trying to protect you."

The cryptic quote concluded: "She may not be perfect, but she's the only woman in this world who truly wants what's best for you, even if it costs her everything."

In Princess's documentary, which features dad Peter, the 18-year-old says she "wishes she had a happier childhood".

I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then. But I don't feel like I can really talk

The TikTok star also addresses the "dark times" she experienced growing up.

While Princess was too young to really remember her parents together, she has traumatic memories of the breakdown of Katie's third marriage to Kieran Hayler.

She admits: "I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then.

"But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes."

Kieran has since publicly apologised, saying: "It makes me feel so sad.

"I am as sorry as I can be to Princess witnessing us go through such a horrible separation. Leaving them was one of the hardest things I ever had to do.

"I would love to apologise and really know how she felt during that time when mine and Kate's marriage broke down."

Kieran confessed he’s been watching Princess’s ITV2 show and wanted to reach out.

He said he thinks he was the "best stepfather that I could have been," but he admits the bonds with his stepchildren have faded over time.

He added: "Life moves on and you no longer play a role in their lives anymore."
