With a pop sensation father and a model mother, it's no surprise that Junior Andre was destined for a life with his name in lights. And while the 18-year-old is following in dad Peter's footsteps by carving out a music career for himself, it appears that isn't the only show business avenue he's headed down.<\/p>\n

Talking exclusively with OK! this week, the young star admitted that he's keen to crack the acting scene, which is something he's working on 'in the background'.<\/p>\n

The budding singer explained: "Acting is another passion of mine. I went to the BRIT School to study Theatre, and though I\u2019m releasing my music, I\u2019m still pursuing acting behind the scenes."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As he talks us through his passion, we wonder what would be Junior's dream role? "I just love reading scripts and I\u2019d be open to any role. I\u2019d love a role in a suspenseful thriller series or something more serious. But also, my friends tell me I\u2019ve got a funny personality, so maybe I\u2019d be good in a comedy series. Honestly, I\u2019ll try anything once!"<\/p>\n

Junior's widely-anticipated second single Only One was released earlier this month, and scored him his very first number one on the official iTunes charts.<\/p>\n

Alongside younger sister Princess, 16, Junior is the child of former couple Peter and Katie Price, who made headlines when they found love on TV almost 20 years ago. With his family background meaning he was thrust into a world of fame from birth, Junior insists that isn't the reason for his newfound music success.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"If you\u2019re not good at what you do, you won\u2019t succeed, and I\u2019m already succeeding," he cheekily beamed as we probed what he would say to any haters.<\/p>\n

"I don\u2019t think it matters what family you\u2019re born into, if you\u2019ve got talent, you\u2019ll do well. I\u2019ll tell the haters to watch this space."<\/p>\n

He's certainly doing his dad proud too, who is no doubt reminiscing over his own chart success in the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits such as Mysterious Girl and Flava.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chatting on his son's music endeavours in his exclusive weekly column, Peter gushed: "It\u2019s still just the beginning and we have a long way to go. He\u2019s worked so hard for this achievement \u2013 but that is how you get results.<\/p>\n

"It was certainly a surreal moment seeing him on Loose Women in his own right recently, though. #proudpops1".<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
