Mirror columnist, Coleen Nolan has appealed to Katie Price and Peter Andre to stop flaunting their children on TV and beseeched us to stop watching their shows.

Writing in the newspaper today, Nolan said:

And the best supporting actors and actress awards go to… Harvey, Junior and Princess Tiaamii.

Well, those poor kids certainly deserve some kind of reward for their walk-on roles in their parents’ competing reality shows. Because they are sure as hell going to suffer enough from being catapulted to stardom in such awful circumstances at such incredibly young ages.

Last week I sat on the sofa to indulge in the latest updates in Britain’s favourite divorce drama by watching Katie and Peter’s TV shows. Except it wasn’t so much fly-on-the wall as kids-on-the-rack as the three little ones were wheeled out at parties, day trips and in their own homes to fill the air time.

The ex-couple are taking it in turns to drag their kids on a whistlestop tour of “fun, fun, fun” to show that they are the most attentive parent. (Obviously if a photographer captures that moment of domestic bliss then their case is proved.)

Nolan added:

I dread to think what the long-term effect of such public exposure will be on them. So come on, Jordan and Peter – it is time to give the kids a break and turn off the cameras. And for all of us – me included – it’s time to turn the telly off.

I wonder if a damning article on the evils of ITV2 is to follow? I always did love Coleen Nolan, maybe if more stars turned on the Andre/Price teams this whole debacle would end a little sooner.
