Katie Price, Loose Woman and business mastermind, has defended her decision to let her two eldest children, Junior, 11, and Princess, 9, lap up the spotlight.

Hitting back at haters that criticised her for parading her children around in the public eye, Katie insisted that she 'makes sure they get a pay-cheque'.

During a Facebook Live curated by The Sun, one fan asked Katie about if she worries about her kids not wanting to be famous, she responded:

"Junior and Princess don’t know any different about being in the public eye or not."

As you probably know Princess and Junior, grew up on our TV screens thanks to their parents' documentary series 'Katie and Pete' – where we saw every inch of their private lives played out on screen.

However, Katie states that Princess and Junior now know all about the motive behind work - money.

She added: “The thing is now they know they get paid for jobs, they’re like, ‘Whoa we can have this money in our bank account.’

“So I make sure that every job they do they get a pay-cheque.”

Peter on the other hand, recently admitted that he plans to keep his youngest, little Amelia, out of the spotlight so he can 'protect her'.

He told Now magazine: "The problem is that she [Amelia] was never born into the TV side of things, so it might be a bit weird to thrust her into it now."

He added that his doctor wife is worried about the consequences: "She worries about it and I have to respect that.

"Emily's said to me that she doesn't mind doing the odd shoot with her when she's a baby because people can't recognise her. With the shoots we've done with Millie, she looks completely different three weeks later.

"Mills is totally out of the spotlight and it's like Emily says to me - it's not forever, but let's protect her now."

Do you think money is a good incentive? Or should kids just be kids?
