Peter Andre wants son Junior to do Strictly Come Dancing as Katie Price tipped for show

Peter Andre has revealed he wants Junior to take part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing after hearing that his mum Katie Price is tipped for the show.

The singer, 47, heard that Gordon Ramsay 's 18-year-old daughter Tilly is said to be in talks with the show's bosses, prompting him to consider Junior, 14, or 12-year-old Princess making an appearance.

Writing in his OK! mag column, Peter - who starred on the show in 2015 - said: "I think it'd be a really good show for Bista or Junior to do, because you actually learn a skill.

"On the downside, you've got to be thick-skinned in this industry and be able to take negative comments from the judges."

He added: "As you know, I like watching shows like Love Island, but it’s not something I'd want my kids to do. I said to Junior, 'If you want to do a show like that, be the presenter. I just don’t want you to be a contestant'."

And now bookies have given odds on Junior's mum Katie competing in this year's series.

Following a significant rise of bets, bookmakers have now slashed the odds of Katie appearing on the hit show from 20/1 to as short as 3/1.

If Katie lands a spot on this year's series, she would be following in the footsteps of her ex-husband Peter.

A spokesperson for mybettingsites.co.uk said: "Crowned as the original reality Queen, we fully expect further reality appearances from Katie.

"If the odds are anything to go by, we wouldn't be surprised if she appears on either Strictly or I'm A Celeb."
