KATIE Price has opened up about her rift with daughter Princess Andre, saying "they think I'm trash".
The upset mum-of-five has bashed those working with her daughter after The Sun revealed her secret heartache about being cut out of her TV show - and has vowed not to watch it.
Discussing her upset on her podcast today, Katie, 47, told sister Sophie that although she supports Princess no matter what, the situation has left her "insulted" and struggling mentally.
Addressing The Sun's article, Katie said: “They've told the truth in it. If you actually read it, there's not a fib.
"I'm not allowed and I'm not welcome.
“But what hurts my feelings, and it does upset me, is when your kids grow up, you go to their assemblies, you go to their Christmas things, you go to their awards, you go to their football matches or gymnastics, you're involved in everything they do.
Everyone knows she's my daughter. So what difference does it make?

"And knowing that what my career has been, Princess is taking that same path, trying to do the same as what I've done, which I absolutely love and adore of Princess.
"But I have not been allowed to go on any photo shoot, no signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that."
We told earlier this week how telly bosses deliberately cut the former glamour model out of forthcoming ITV2 show, The Princess Diaries, because it is “not good for Princess to be seen with Katie”.
In a bid to market the youngster as a pretty, middle-class influencer, they even turned down Katie’s team’s offer to film for free for three days.
Katie ranted: “And it puts Princess in a situation because I don't want her to feel she has to choose between me and her work because I want her to do well.”
“And I have said to Princess, just see how it feels for me because I should be there supporting you.
"I want to be there to support you like my family did. And I'm your mum and especially as you're doing stuff that I did, I'm proud of you and want to be there.”
But it does mean she has made the decision not to watch it.
"I won't be watching the show and I won't be promoting the show, because I don't need it rubbed in my face of everyone playing Happy Families," she said.
Revealing the extent of how much she claims to have been pushed out, Katie continued: “They won't allow Princess to do photo shoots with me.
"They won't allow me to go to any events with Princess because they think I am trash basically.
“Now, everyone knows she's my daughter. So what difference does it make? If it wasn't for me or Pete, Princess and Junior wouldn't be known anyway.
“I find it an insult as I've been in the industry 30 years. I know this job inside and out.
"If there's anyone better to advise or be there and guide Princess, it is me.”
Princess' 'unhappy' childhood
The new ITV2 series, which will feature Princess’s older brother Junior and her dad Peter, begins on Sunday.
It also stars Pete’s second wife Emily, a doctor with whom he appears blissfully happy.
Princess lives full time with Peter, and has done since before she turned 18.
For the past few months, cameras have followed Princess around as she launches her influencing career, having already signed money- spinning deals with brands including Morphe and Superdrug.
Party Ban
But Katie has been nowhere to be seen - not even when her daughter had an 18th birthday party.
The Prices were banned from attending Princess’s 18th birthday party in June due to filming.
Katie, whose sister feels the same, admitted her frustrations, saying: “I'm not making money off my daughter. So I am fuming about the situation, but at the same time, I want Princess to do well and I back her in every way
"The family, we're all fuming about it. How, again, not one member of our family or anything are involved in anything Princess does."
In the fly-on-the-wall series, the teenager addresses the traumatic memories of her parents’ divorce, admitting she grew up in her household knowing her parents “didn’t like each other”.
"I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then, " she says in a first look clip.
"But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes.
"I do wish, like, I could have had a more happier childhood. In the sense of like, I had so many things on my plate at a young age."
Princess started seeing the counsellor after a scary incident in South Africa in 2018.
She continued: "I wish sometimes that I wasn't like that and I could have actually enjoyed...not had things in the back of my mind so young."
