Princess Andre’s mum came under fire recently when the 16-year-old was photographed toasting with a shot glass.
However, it’s now been reported that Princess was not, in fact, drinking alcohol.
The former glamour model, 45, enjoyed a night out at a restaurant and on/off partner Carl Woods, 34.
Instagram snaps from the evening showed the family taking off a tray, raising them in the air for a ‘cheers.’
The shot glasses contained pink liquid, so it was initially unclear whether Princess’s shot had alcohol in it, sparking concern.
It is illegal to sell alcohol or to buy it for a person under 18. It is also illegal for under 18s to drink alcohol in licensed premises, such as pubs or restaurants.
But, those who are 16 and 17 years of age can drink beer, wine, or cider with a meal, as long as they are accompanied by an adult.
A source has come out now and denied reports that Princess was drinking.
The insider explained to that the toast was ‘set up’.
‘Princess wasn’t drinking alcohol,’ they insisted.
‘She asked for Fanta and Coke to be on her table, this was just a cheers set up.’
The denial comes after another source claimed the photo would’ve been met with criticism by Princess’s dad Peter Andre.
They told : ‘Peter won’t have been happy to see Princess out with her mum holding a shot glass.
‘Even if it wasn’t alcohol, it’s not the best look for a 16-year-old, especially one in the public eye.’
Doting dad Pete, 50, often speaks about his bond with Princess and who he also shares with
Most recently, the Mysterious Girl hitmaker that he has for budding fashion model Princess
Speaking to , the former campmate said the couple won’t be having any sleepovers at his house.
He added that they must, ‘be downstairs, the doors are open and it’s daytime’.
‘Any parenting tips or rules are only as good as they are in your house,’ Pete added.
‘My rules in my house are very straightforward. Everyone knows them, it’s not even a question.
‘With boyfriends or girlfriends, it’s downstairs, doors are open and it’s daytime. Down the line, if there is a sleepover, one can sleep downstairs.
‘We have younger children too and you don’t want them seeing things. If the relationship ends and then you bring someone else in, it doesn’t look right and as far as the little kids are concerned, it’s always a friend is over.’
Pete is also a dad to Amelia, nine, and Theo, six, who he shares with wife Emily.
