Model Katie Price's son Junior has started displaying celebrity-like behaviour lately and she feels fame is having a negative effect on her children.

The 35-year-old, who has two children - eight-year-old Junior, and Princess Tiaamii, 5 - with ex-husband Peter Andre and 11-year-old Harvey from her relationship with Dwight Yorke, has admitted that the constant media attention has started to get into Junior's head, reports contactmusic.com.

"He wants to go on 'Britain's Got Talent', he wants to present Jeremy Kyle, he wants a Lamborghini. He keeps telling me he's famous, and I'm trying to tell him that just because his father put him on his TV show, that doesn't make him famous himself," The Independent quoted Price as saying.

Price insisted that she won't make any more reality shows and prefers to preserve most aspects of her privacy nowadays.

She said: "When I was married to Pete, I don't know what I was thinking. Everything we did was documented, every party, every trip, on the telly, in magazines. It's not healthy."

However, she doesn't regret putting her son Harvey, who was born blind and has been diagnosed with autism, on TV, as she believes it's important to boost awareness of raising children with disabilities.

"It's important to talk about living with, and coping with, a child with disabilities. I've checked with his teachers, his school, and they all agree," she said.
