Junior Andre has revealed how he plans to split Christmas between his dad Peter Andre and mum Katie Price.
Mysterious Girl singer Peter, 52, recently saw his long-running feud with former glamour model and ex wife Katie, 47, thrust back into the spotlight following the launch of their daughter Princess’s new reality show.
Despite the strained relationship between his parents, it will be business as usual for Junior, 20, over the festive period.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: ‘So, how I do it every year is split between my parents and this year, I will be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at my dad’s with my brothers and sisters there.
‘And then I’ll be going to my mum’s for the afternoon.’
He continued: ‘And then, yeah, probably just, yeah, spend the rest of the time there. Might stay there, might come back to mine, just depends.’

Earlier this year, Junior moved into his own flat with his girlfriend Jasmine Orr after previously living at his dad’s Surrey home.
He continues to share a close relationship with both parents, despite their very public fallout over the years.
It comes after Princess revealed neither of her parents have watched her ITV2 reality show after its debut sparked a bitter fall out between the pair.
The daughter of exes Peter and Katie, 18, let cameras into her life earlier this year but her glamour model mum hit out after being deliberately excluded from filming.
Katie expressed her frustrations at being ‘disrespected’ and ‘disregarded’, claiming that Peter and his management team were behind the snub.
Princess told The Sun: ‘I actually don’t think either of my parents have watched the show. I don’t think it’s my dad’s thing, it’s more, it’s a show for people my age to watch, I think,’.
Before adding: ‘I watched everything about five times Just to make sure everything is how I want it and to check everything’.
Daily Mail have contacted Peter Andre and Katie Price’s representatives for comment.

It comes after Daily Mail revealed that Peter and wife Emily, 36, have pulled out from the second season of Princess’ show, in order to quieten the ‘noise’ surrounding Katie’s onscreen absence.
During series one, Pete was filmed supporting Princess as she learned to drive and delivering an emotional speech at her 18th birthday party, an event Katie claimed she was excluded from.
The Princess Diaries, which has been renewed for two new seasons, also showed the teen at home with her family, including stepmother Emily, while Katie appeared only via a voice recording.
Katie vented her fury over being snubbed from Princess’s first-ever reality show during an angry outburst on her podcast.
The former glamour model was responding to claims that she was damaging her daughter’s growing image due to her well-documented personal problems, including drug and alcohol addiction, drink-driving arrests, and multiple bankruptcies.
Katie said: ‘I want the best for Junior and Princess, and I would never get in the way of it.
‘But what hurt my feelings, and it does upset me, is when your kids grow up, you go to their assemblies, you go to their Christmas things, you go to their awards, you go to their football matches or gymnastics, you’re involved in everything they do.
‘And knowing that, what my career has been, Princess is taking that same path, trying to do the same as what I’ve done, which I absolutely love and adore Princess.’
Princess said: ‘I actually don’t think either of my parents have watched the show. I don’t think it’s my dad’s thing, it’s more, it’s a show for people my age to watch,’ (pictured on the show)

‘But I have not been allowed to go on any photo shoot, no signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that. Why? Because I’m not allowed and I’m not welcome.
‘And it puts Princess in a situation because I don’t want her to feel she has to choose between me and her work because I want her to do well.
‘And I have said to Princess, just see how it feels for me because I should be there supporting you, I want to be there to support you like my family did. And I’m your mum, and especially as you’re doing stuff that I did, I’m proud of you and want to be there.’
Pete and Katie, who share Junior and Princess, were married for four years before splitting up in May, 2009, with their divorced finalised later that year.
Since their breakup, when Junior was aged four and Princess was two, Peter has gone onto marry doctor Emily, and the couple share children Amelia, Theo, and Arabella.
Katie pinned the blame firmly on Pete and his management team, who once represented her during her marriage to the singer, for blocking her involvement with the show.
She added: ‘But unfortunately, the management team and Pete, won’t allow me to be near here. They have made it clear, they won’t allow Princess to do photoshoots with me, they won’t allow me to got to any events with Princess because they think I am trash basically.
‘Now, everyone knows she’s my daughter. So, what difference does it make? Like if it wasn’t for me or Pete, Princess and Junior wouldn’t be known anyway. And I find it an insult as I’ve been in the industry for 30 years.’
She added that there was no one better suited to guide Princess in this journey.
Pete hit back on Instagram, revealing for the first time in August that he had sole custody of Junior and Princess from 2018 until they reached adulthood, citing their ‘safety’ as the reason.
Writing on the platform, he said: ‘The latest comments about my children’s welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight.
‘For well documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood.
‘In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.’
