14 DAY TRIAL // Katie Price, once known solely as Jordan, the UK tabloid queen, has decided to change the way she makes her personal life accessible to the public by vowing to keep her children out of the spotlight from now on.
The star, who has never shied away from using her children on promo tours or having them appear on her reality shows, is bent on changing all that – in a bit to offer them a chance at a normal life.
Katie announced her decision on her Twitter page, where she also took the time to respond to those criticizing her for taking so long in realizing so much exposure for the kids wasn't good.
“start filming for my new reality show this week junior and princess won't be in any of my shows or any photo shoots again x,” Katie tweeted.
“I want to withdraw them from the public eye as I want them to have as normal a childhood as possible and want them to choose what they want,” the reality star added.
As noted above, when one of her followers told her it might be a bit too late for that, implying the damage had already been done, Katie responded by saying “nothing's too late.”
A rep for Price has confirmed the decision to keep the children out of the spotlight. Interestingly enough, both he and Katie only mention Junior and Princess – but say nothing of Harvey, who has autism, which could mean he'll still be featured on TV and in the media.
“I believe Junior and Princess are now of an age where they are starting to become aware of the attention they are subject to and it is beginning to impact on them,” the rep explains.
“If their lives remain in the public eye they could become the subject of unnecessary interest and attention of many other pupils, their families, strangers and so on,” the same statement reads.
The idea is to have the children have a normal life, being able to go to school without being recognized and possibly harassed. Security fears have also contributed to the decision, the statement explains.
