At the tender age of 16, Princess Andre has already amassed over a million followers on her social media channels and is arguably one of the most recognisable teenagers in the country.

The eldest daughter of Peter Andre, 50, and Katie Price, 45, she grew up on camera with her famous parents and is no stranger to the world of reality TV. But today, in her first solo shoot with OK!, she is keen to show she's ready to strike out on her own, revealing her exciting new beauty career plans.

"I'm feeling a bit nervous because it's my first shoot alone, and I'm a bit like, 'Oh my God, I'm doing this on my own!"" she laughs, showing no signs of said nerves at all. "At the same time I'm really excited because I think it's nice for people to get to know me and understand where I'm coming from - and not just think they know me for who my parents are."

The teen is already hugely in demand by fashion and beauty brands - PrettyLittleThing, Shein, Primark, Eylure and Only Curls to name a few - which have hired her for a number of social media campaigns. She's also studying beauty therapy, but Princess, who proudly reveals one of her recent TikTok make-up tutorials has already had 4.6 million views, is taking everything in her stride.
