Peter Andre reveals hopes for Junior and Princess on Love Island

Peter Andre's children are allowed to appear on Love Island but the star insists they cannot be hoping to find a romantic partner on the show.

The singer who shares his older children Junior, 17, and Princess, 15, with his ex-wife, Katie Price, has previously explained the pair are banned from ever appearing on the ITV2 dating show.

Now, it seems as though Peter, 50, has had a change of heart and has come up with one condition which would allow the teens to make an appearance on the show.

However, their chances of finding love have been slashed as Peter has ruled out them appearing as a contestant.

Speaking to MailOnline, he said: "I've sort of said to them I'd love you to try and present it rather than be a contestant, but then again, I've always said there are some great people who have come from the show.

"Look at Molly Mae and Tommy - they've done so well, and they've stayed together, so there is a lot of good things that come from it."

In the past, the Mysterious Girl hitmaker explained that should Junior or Princess apply for the programme, he would up sticks and leave the country.

During an appearance on Good Morning Britain earlier this year, hosts Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway, who both have teenage children asked Pete his stance on the show.

Kate asked: "You apparently have said you would ban your kids from going on Love Island. Is that because of the nakedness?"

Peter explained he 'says things in jest a lot of the time', explaining: "I said my daughter was going to be a nun for how many years. Everyone knew I was joking, but I was kind of secretly going 'I hope she will'."

He added: "When they turn 18 your kids are going to do what they want. What I said to them was, if you have a choice, I'd rather you present Love Island – although Maya Jama is doing a great job right now.

"But what I'm saying is, it's better to try and be a presenter. Look at yourself in that way, rather than a contestant.

"Even though I've been a contestant in many shows," he added before he joked: "Look, if they really want to do something like that, I'll just leave the country."

Pete met Junior and Princess' mum on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! but admits that the show is different to Love Island as they had no alcohol which enables people to "lose their inhibitions on TV."
