JUNIOR Andre and his pals threw a VIP party at Thorpe Park into chaos after he was confronted by security for taking a cuddly toy off a stall and walking off with it.
The 18-year-old singer – whose parents are Katie Price and Peter Andre – was reprimanded by security officials for the theme park.
Junior attended Thorpe Park’s star-studded VIP event with pals to celebrate the opening of its fastest and tallest Hyperia rollercoaster.
However, he turned the after-hours event into chaos when he and his mates took gigantic teddy bears from closed stalls.
A shocked onlooker told The Sun how they personally watched Junior rip down one of the winnable prizes before tossing back another one the group didn’t want.
Security were alerted and pursed the youngsters as CCTV footage was checked. The Sun’s exclusive video shows the moment park security swooped in and spoke to Junior and his friends.

After what appeared to be an exchange of stern words the prizes were then removed from Junior and his friends – but no further action was taken by security, and they left. There is no suggestion they planned to leave the park with the toys and an insider say Junior “offered to buy the toys” when spoken to by security.
“Junior was actually walking around looking for someone to pay for the toys so he could give them to his younger sisters as a gift,” says the insider.
The Sun can also reveal that Junior was accidentally caught up in more chaos after Thorpe Park’s Stealth ride had to be briefly halted as a park-goer scaled its safety barriers.
The man – who is not connected to Junior or his friends – managed to jump over the high fence, causing operators to have to stop the ride and make a safety announcement telling crowds to move away from the ride.
The Sun’s video shows Junior standing on a park table as the man climbed over the fence that stands between the rollercoaster and the park path.
An insider said Junior didn’t know the man and was only standing on the table because he was trying to spot a lost hat that had flown off during the rollercoaster ride.
“The ride had to be stopped for safety reasons and an announcement went out. Everyone waiting in the queue was furious,” said our eyewitness.
Thorpe Park has been approached for comment.
Junior Andre’s rep has also been approached for comment.
Meanwhile, Junior managed to avoid what could have been an awkward encounter with his mum Katie’s ex-boyfriend Kris Boyson who also attended the event.
Junior – who is signed to Colombia records and whose single Only One charted at number one on the iTunes charts last year – was recently revealed to be dating model Jasmine Orr, 23, who previously dated Love Island’s Adam Collard, 28, on Celebs Go Dating.
Sources say that the reality star met Junior’s dad, Peter, and his step-mum Emily at their Surrey home.
“It was important that they approve of her, but he’s already smitten,” the friend said.
“The relationship has been kept on the down-low so far, but telling his fans he was committed was a big step.”
