Nicola T: 'Price isn't a bad mother'

Nicola T has said that she cannot understand why Katie Price received so much criticism over the makeover she gave to her daughter Princess.

The glamour model defended Price by insisting that she was simply playing an innocent dress-up game when she put make-up, lip gloss, eyeshadow and a pair of false eyelashes on the 2-year-old.

Princess's father Peter Andre has repeatedly said that he is "disgusted" after a picture showing his daughter's makeover was posted up on Facebook and later printed in newspapers.

However, Nicola - who has a young daughter named Poppy - told New: "It's a mother-daughter thing playing dress-up. Some people are now saying that she's a bad mother. Why? It's not as if she took her out like it.

"If Poppy said, 'Mummy, I want fake eyelashes on', I would say, 'Come on then, Pops, let's do it'."

Nicola lived in the Celebrity Big Brother house with Price's new husband Alex Reid last month.
