Peter Andre has candidly admitted to feeling scared as he and his wife Emily were met with a huge parenting first for them both.
The singer, 52, is a proud dad to Junior, 20, Princess, 18, Amelia, 11, Theo, eight, and Arabella, one. Pete, his wife Emily, 36, and the children recently jetted off on a family trip to Cyprus. But as Pete and Emily shared photos of their sweet trip, some fans noticed one member of their family was missing; daughter Amelia.
Now, in his exclusive column with new! magazine, Peter has revealed what Amelia was up to while the rest of the family were on holiday.
He revealed: “Some people noticed that our daughter Amelia wasn’t there on this trip and that’s because she was doing something incredible. She was on a pilgrimage with Emily’s mum – so with her grandma – and they did the Pyrenees, which was absolutely amazing. She walked about 80 km in four days, she said it was the most incredible experience.

“So it’s the first time she hasn’t come away with us but she was with her grandma doing a pilgrimage which I thought was wonderful so go on Mills – what a wonderful experience that she had!”
Pete then revealed he had mixed emotions as while he felt proud of her, letting her go on the trek was, understandably, scary for him.
“It was very scary for us, you know, it’s very scary as a parent – obviously we knew that she’s with Emily’s mum, who is a paediatrician, she’s a doctor so having a doctor on hand is always great, but it is always scary and because she wasn’t with us for the first… it was just really, really, really, scary, but it was wonderful to know that she was achieving so much, we’re very proud.”
It comes after Peter set a strict rule with his wife Emily over their youngest children after his daughter Princess’ career success.
Peter has been supportive of Princess and Junior, who he shares with ex wife Katie Price, at glitzy events as they embark on their own careers. Meanwhile Princess has come into her own this year with her reality TV show, The Princess Diaries, and her makeup brand, which she is currently building. Princess’ brother Junior has enjoyed success in his own right as he’s been busy working on his music and social media, though he recently revealed he would be taking a break from the former.
But, Peter and Emily have decided on a different set of rules for their younger children. While Princess and Junior had already been on red carpets, Loose Women and charity balls throughout their childhood, the same won’t happen to Amelia, Theo and Arabella. When asked if they would bring their youngest to the Pride of Britain, Emily told us: “We have talked about that!”
Peter added: “Amelia asked today. She said, ‘will I be able to come with you?’ I said, maybe when you are 16.” Emily agreed as she explained: “She’s at secondary school now, I think maybe when she’s 16.”
Despite the pair laying down new ground rules for their young kids, Peter and Emily are both proud of what Princess and Junior have achieved already.
