Speaking to This Morning's hosts Joel Dommett and Emma Willis about her reality show and what it included ahead of its release, Princess said: "You see me growing with confidence as it goes on. You see my family, it's just really fun."

Princess also revealed she is "independent" from her parents. Asked why she decided to do the show, she said: "I got older and a lot more things have come in for me solo. A lot of things I used to do was with my parents and now I'm doing a show that is independent and actually focused on me. Now is the right time because my life is busy right now and I want people to see it."

During the ITV show, Princess opens up about growing up with her famous parents and admitted that there were not many rules in her household with her mum, Katie.

Princess said on her show: "Down mum's house there weren't very many rules. You could kind of do whatever you want. Obviously there were boundaries, but it was go to bed when you want and eat what you want, but it was really fun and I do have a lot of good memories."

Junior is also seen on the ITV series and chimed in: "You would go to dads and it would be relaxing, but there are rules.”

It comes after Peter got emotional for Princess’ 18th birthday in June. He took to social media where he shared a carousel of images of Princess from over the years and wrote that he is ‘always’ there for her.

He wrote: “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.”
