Pete&Jordan fight over sister's glamour career

Jordan and Peter Andre are at loggerheads over her teenage sister’s budding modeling career.

Sophie Price, 18, has had a boob job in a bid to find fame as a glamour girl, and has got a job promoting the same adult TV channel her famous older sister once worked for.

But a source close to Jordan – real name Katie Price – has revealed that, while she’s happily guiding her younger sister into the modeling world, Pete, 35, is worried about Sophie doing topless work.

The source said: “Katie has warned Sophie all about the ruthlessness of the business and is overseeing any decisions she makes. But Pete thinks she should be encouraging Sophie to be a businesswoman rather than a glamour model.

“Whenever Pete tries to put his point across, though, he’s told: ‘It didn’t do me any harm – I’ve built an empire with my tits!’

“Sophie doesn’t want to spend her life as a topless model – she wants to concentrate on TV work and has got a job with adult TV channel Television X. But Pete is worried as he knows how tough the industry is.”

To protect her sister, Jordan, 30, has signed Sophie with her own management and PR company, but Pete still isn’t happy.

The source said: “Peter would rather forget that Katie’s glamour modeling made her famous, but he thinks Katie is trying to relive it through Sophie. He thinks it’s cheap and not work that gets you any respect.”

Sources close to Sophie say she doesn’t want to be as big-busted as her sister, only going from a 32C to a 32E in her recent surgery.

Meanwhile, Zoo magazine’s editor Ben Todd believes Sophie will succeed in the lads’ magazine industry – but may have to trade off her big sister’s famous name.

He said: “It’ll be hugely difficult for her to come close to Jordan’s success, but I don’t see why she can’t forge a relatively successful modeling career for herself – albeit often relying on being ‘Jordan’s little sister.’”

But while there’s not much Pete can do about Sophie’s plans, there’s one situation he won’t compromise on – daughter Princess’ future career.

Mum-of-three Jordan says she wouldn’t have a problem with one-year-old Princess glamour modeling when she grows up – but Peter will never let it happen.

The source said: “Peter has said that Princess won’t ever be doing topless stuff – it’s a taboo subject between them.”
