Peter Andre said he was concerned his daughter Princess would fall into a "downward spiral" because of online trolls.
The 15-year-old has started to grow an online presence but a lot of unwanted attention has followed. Recently, she posted a photo of herself on Instagram but comments accused her of "photoshopping" her body because it looked like her hair and background had been warped.
Princess commented on her post, clarifying that the image wasn't doctored in any form. She said: "For the people commenting about the photo apparently being edited you can quite clearly see that it’s my hair and not the tiles."

Her father has come to her defence, admitting he has spoken to her privately about the best way to handle the rising attention. In his column for New! magazine, he shared his concerns that she may be caught in a "downward spiral" if she worries about online trolls too much.
He said: "I've always told Princess that when she puts things on social media it’s best to always either turn the comments off or block or ignore anybody who is negative. But when I saw someone accusing her of editing one of her pictures, and she replied, my comment was basically not to get into the habit of worrying about what people say.
"And this applies to everyone. Just be your beautiful self and enjoy life. I just don’t want her to get into the habit of worrying about trolls, because if you do it can be a downward spiral."
