Junior Andre has opened up about secretly working punishing night shifts for London Underground as he fights to build his music career on his own terms — proving he is far from the pampered “nepo-baby” many assume him to be.
The 20-year-old son of Peter Andre and Katie Price revealed that while pursuing his ambitions in music, he has also taken on a physically demanding manual job on the Tube network to help pay his own way. Rather than relying on what he called the easy option of living off his famous parents, Junior said he has been putting in the hard graft behind the scenes.
According to Junior, the overnight role involves intense hands-on labour, from “lifting heavy metals” to cutting, filing and painting. He explained that he took the job specifically so he could support his dream of making it in music without asking for handouts.
Speaking candidly, Junior said: “I’ve really learned that I’ve got to work for what I want. It’s not just going to be handed to me.” He added: “I found a night job basically just working on the London Underground, grafting, lifting heavy metals, cutting, filing, painting. I got them jobs so I could do my music career, so I could fund it.”
He also made clear that the struggle has only made him more determined, saying: “When I do achieve what I set out to achieve, I’m gonna be so grateful because I know I worked so hard for it.”
The revelation was shared during the latest episode of his sister Princess Andre’s reality series, where she proudly praised her brother’s determination and independence. Princess pointed out that even after his last two singles both hit number one on the iTunes pop charts, Junior still chose to work full-time night shifts while sorting out issues with his record label.
She said she was “super proud” of him for being “fully self-sufficient,” especially at a time when many would expect him to lean on family connections instead.
Both Junior and Princess also used the moment to push back against the “nepo-baby” tag that often follows them because of their famous parents. Princess admitted it frustrates her when people claim they are only successful because of Peter Andre and Katie Price.
Junior echoed that feeling, saying: “People say nepo-babies, but I’m doing what I love and what I’m inspired to do.” He added that while his father played a major role in shaping his love of music, his passion for performing is genuine and deeply personal. “It’s great that my dad was part of that. My love for music is intense; I love performing just like my dad,” he said.
By revealing the reality of his night job, Junior has offered a very different image of celebrity offspring life — one built not on privilege, but on sweat, exhaustion and a determination to earn success the hard way.
