Katie Price's son Junior tells fans 'I don't want to die' after he catches Covid

Katie Price's son has said he doesn't want to die after he caught coronavirus.

Junior Andre, who the former glamour model shares with her first husband Peter Andre, tested positive for Covid last week, four months after his dad battled the virus.

The 15-year-old did an Instagram Live with his fans and explained the "weird symptoms" he's been suffering, including a headache and body aches.

He said: "Don't manifest it. Listen, if it happens it happens.

"But I know God wants me to live my life to the finish, so I'm not gonna die from Covid and if I do, I do. I don't wanna die."

Junior admitted he was confused that he was suffering symptoms as he believed only adults did and not teenagers.

He went on: "The first few days, my head was the worst.

"My head was banging so much. I dunno how I got symptoms, because I'm a child, I'm 15. But my head was banging, my body was aching, my throat was fine.

"And then all of a sudden my body's sort of stopped aching – it aches sometimes – my head still bangs but not as much but for some reason my throat is so sore.

"It's killing me. I don't know why. It's not part of the symptoms I don't think, but maybe I've got something else with Covid.

"Yeah, I have Covid. I've got what's it called? Like a week left."

He added: "Yeah, I've got Covid. And for some reason I have, like, symptoms.

"Normally minors don't get symptoms. It's not severe… it's just annoying."

Junior, whose family are also isolating with him, revealed that he's suffering pain when he uses his phone and plays on his Playstation.

"I was affected because I had a bad backache," he went on.

"I have a backache, my body aches.

"I've got a PS5, I'm gassed. The annoying thing is, because my head hurts… I've got a PS5 but the thing is, my head hurts when I go on my phone and play things. I don't actually know what to do."

He added: "Guys, if I die, just know that you're all loved, OK? I could die. No, no, no, I’m joking. I mean, I could…"

Last week Junior told his followers that he has coronavirus.

"I have tested positive for COVID," he told them, but didn't add any more details at the time.

Junior lives with his dad Peter and his sister Princess, as well as his stepmum Emily and his half-siblings Theo and Amelia.

NHS doctor Emily and Peter have both battled coronavirus before.
