Peter Andre has shared an update on his wife Emily MacDonagh’s pregnancy as she starts feeling contractions with the baby’s due date nearing.

The 51-year-old singer and television personality shared a video on Instagram of his doctor wife Emily, 34, experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions as she rubs her stomach. The ‘Mysterious Girl’ singer said that Emily blamed him for the contractions as he had made her laugh. Peter teased his wife as he commentated on the moment in the video, saying: “She’s having a Toni Braxton guys.”

Peter doubled-down on his joking by playing Toni Braxton’s huge hit song, Unbreak My Heart, in the background of the clip as Emily looked to get comfortable on the sofa, in her grey tracksuit as she gently soothed her tummy. Emily said that one side of her bump was feeling different to the other and commented: “Oh, it’s settling down now, nearly. It’s all gone on this side but this side feels empty. This side feels like a rock.” Peter captioned the video: “The braxtons are real. Apparently it’s my fault cos I made her laugh. I’ll take that.”

Braxton Hicks contractions are false labour pains that occur during the latter stages of a pregnancy and are the body’s way of preparing for the actual labour. While Peter and Emily have been keeping their due date secret, the Braxton Hicks are an indication for when their third child together will be arriving. The couple already have nine year old daughter Amelia and seven year old Theo. Peter is also father to son Junior, 19, and daughter Princess, 16, with his ex-wife Katie Price.

Writing recently in his OK! column, Peter revealed: “Honestly, I don’t mind what the gender is as long as they’re happy and healthy. I’ve got two girls and two boys already and they’re all amazing in their own way.” Meanwhile, during an appearance on Loose Women, Emily told the panel that this pregnancy had been her “toughest yet” and that she had been feeling quite sick throughout. Panellist Nadia Sawalha then joked: “That means it’s a boy!”

Nadia then performed a test on Emily in which she used a ring on a string to determine the baby’s gender. Holding it over the doctor’s stomach. Nadia said that if the rings moves in a circle then it means it will be a girl, which if the ring swung back and forth, it indicated it was a boy. When the ring started moving back and forth, Nadia and the audience cheered as the Loose Women star announced: “It’s official, it’s a boy… you heard it here first! There are no more surprises now! “.
