Katie Price's Sky documentary exposes fame, family and Peter Andre
Katie Price: Nothing to Hide is a four-part Sky documentary revisiting her tabloid career through archive footage and candid interviews, with Peter Andre's I'm a Celebrity romance at the heart of the story. Critics say the series' most painful reckoning belongs to Junior and Princess Andre, who describe the toll of her cocaine breakdown in tearful testimony.
Key Takeaways
- Sky's Katie Price: Nothing to Hide, directed by Paddy Wivell, is a four-part series available on Sky and NOW.
- The Independent's Adam White calls Price the most infuriating, funny and complicated figure in British public life — self-aware yet self-destructive.
- Junior, 21, and Princess, 19 — Price's children with Peter Andre — appear in tears recounting her psychological breakdown and drug use.
- The Telegraph argues it is Katie Price's children you feel sorry for after watching the documentary.
- The Financial Times frames the show as a documentary reckoning for a long-standing tabloid fixture reflecting on 2000s celebrity culture.
Why does Peter Andre matter to Nothing to Hide?
Price's relationship with Peter Andre is one of the defining chapters of her fame. Writing in The Independent, Adam White positions her as a successor to Princess Diana in late-Nineties tabloid culture — with Andre as her "Charles."
Their 2004 romance on I'm a Celebrity reshaped Price from Page 3 provocateur Jordan into a family-friendly star, while rescuing Andre from one-hit-wonder status. Years of Katie-and-Peter ubiquity ended in divorce, after which Andre won broad public sympathy in the court of public opinion. The documentary revisits that arc through archive footage and testimony from those closest to her.
What makes Katie Price such a polarising subject?
White argues Price has orbited British life like a one-woman soap opera for decades. She is, he writes, both a Machiavellian genius and a fragile ex-addict; a devoted mother to disabled son Harvey and a woman whose other children witnessed her at her lowest.
Director Paddy Wivell tells The Independent that Price "packages stuff so playfully" and instinctively understands controversy, yet "doesn't feel inauthentic." A candid early photo shows her on holiday reading a book about Fred and Rose West — a snapshot White calls a distillation of her humour, exhibitionism and darkness.
Why do critics say her children steal the show?
The Telegraph's review headline puts it bluntly: it's Katie Price's children you feel sorry for after watching her documentary. The Independent reports that Junior and Princess, who Price had with Peter Andre, appear traumatised by witnessing the worst of her cocaine use and associated psychological breakdown.
White notes Price doesn't make it easy to root for her — she is unapologetically abrasive and seems incapable of learning from mistakes — yet has "never stopped being truthful about herself." It drives her family mad, as evidenced in Wivell's documentary.
Is Nothing to Hide a reckoning or more of the same?
The Financial Times describes the series as giving a "tabloid fixture" a "documentary reckoning," with the former glamour model reflecting on fame and 2000s culture. Wivell's film digs into doomed marriages, early trauma and the blurred line between Jordan and Katie Price.
For viewers drawn to stories where public spectacle collides with private harm, the series sits in a wider culture of celebrity autopsy. Explore more in our True Crime & Unsolved Mysteries coverage.
