Mystery as Junior and Princess’ Instagram accounts disappear just weeks after mum Katie Price opened them
The talented youngsters' dad Peter Andre has voiced concern over their social media presence
JUNIOR and Princess Andre's Instagram accounts have disappeared from the Internet - just weeks after mum Katie Price opened them.
Katie's decision to let her young children have a social media presence caused outrage, with critics claiming that she was placing them in danger from online predators, and forcing them to grow up too fast.
The schoolchildren's dad, singer Peter Andre, even voiced his own concerns but admitted that he had had to compromise with his ex-wife about her controversial decision.
Speaking on Loose Women shortly after setting up the accounts, Katie revealed that it was important for Junior and Princess - aged 11 and 8 - to have the accounts for professional reasons as well as to fit in with their friends.
Katie explained: "My kids have been brought up in the industry, everyone knows who they are.
“Now they’re being booked themselves, for TV shows, modelling jobs. Social media is the future – I wont allow them on Facebook, Snapchat or Twitter.
“All their friends have Instagram accounts. They want to be like their friends – I’m trying to make them normal."
The two youngsters have grown up in the spotlight, and are eager to follow in their famous parents' footsteps.
They've already appeared on TV with their mum and dad, and most recently starred on Katie's new TLC show Katie Price's Pony Club.
Dedicated mum Katie has also made sure that her children don't get screwed over by unscrupulous TV execs, adding: "They’ve made a lot of money.
“They get booked for work – it’s like a business.”
When Katie set up the accounts, she announced them on her own Instagram page.
She wrote: " “My baby boy has asked me for 3 years for Instagram so I’ve allowed it but I’m keeping my eye and have passwords.”
Later she added: "“Now my beautiful Princess has driven me mad for Instagram but I said I’ll be vetting lol."
Junior was quick to start posting, and kicked things off with a video message.
He said: “Hi everyone, welcome to my Instagram page.

“I’ve been begging my mum for three years and now I have finally got Instagram. So I have to behave otherwise she’ll take it off me!”
But it wasn't long before Princess was following suit, and in a similar message she explained that she too had Instagram now - but her mum was in charge of the account.
She beamed: "Hi everyone. Junior had it so I really wanted it.
"I drove my mum mad so she let me have it and now she’s in full control of me.”
Even though they are back at school now, the outgoing youngsters are set to star in a pantomime this Christmas, and soon will release their own book.
A rep for Katie told The Sun online that they had been taken down for admin reasons, but would be back online soon.
