Peter Andre risks clash with Katie Price as he says Princess can't date until she's 32

Peter Andre has put his foot down and declared his daughter Princess can't date until she’s 32.

The doting dad, 47, is fiercely protective of his eldest daughter and has now declared he wants her to wait until her 30s until she starts going out with boys.

Speaking on a Loose Women special due to air today, Pete is asked about being a parent to two teenagers - Princess, 13, and Junior, 15.

In the Loose Loved Ones segment, Pete spoke about his own first date with wife Emily, and declared his little girl is OK to start dating "at 32".

He added: "I made so many mistakes as a teenager... I’ve got no right to say what not to do....

"But I guess I don’t want them to make the same mistakes."

Earlier this year, Princess stunned her dad when she begged him for permission to go on a date with a boy named Dylan.

The conversation with the pair happened back in June and was captured on camera for Pete's YouTube reality show Life With The Andres.

Princess was heard telling her dad: "I want to meet up with Dylan. You can come! And his parents can come too so you can speak to his parents."

However, Pete wasn't sure at all, telling her: "Hang on. Woah. Let's reverse a bit.

"You want to meet up with Dylan? You just want to throw that on me like that?"

He then told her he was definitely going to accompany her - along with Dylan's parents.

Pete said: "You're damn right I'm gonna go, and so's his parents."

In a camera confessional, Peter later added: "I want to make sure she feels she can talk to me about anything.

"All the stuff I thought I'd freak out about, like her liking boys and stuff like that, the thought of that used to make me freak out.

"But when it's your own child and you see it as more of an innocent thing then you're okay with it, well I'm okay with it."

However, Pete end up clashing with his ex-wife Katie Price over his strict rules over Princess' dating as she seems to be more relaxed about the situation.

Katie has previously insisted she doesn't have a problem with her little girl dating boys and expects most girls her age to have a boyfriend.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Katie explained: "What girl doesn't [have a boyfriend] at that age?

"It's part of growing up. She doesn't ask me for advice on boys, but I hear her on the phone to her mates.

"I know more than I let on, but that's just part of being a mum."
