Peter Andre says awkward moment with young son left him "mortified"

Peter Andre says he was left "morified" recently when out at a resraurant with his son Theo, taking to his weekly New! Magazine column to share the experience. The dad-of-five compared the experience to one that Perrie Edwards had last week, when her four-year-old son Axel swore during a live video she was recording for Instagram.

Writing in his column, Peter explained: "I had a very funny moment with Theo the other day – so I can empathise with Perrie Edwards when her four-year-old son swore while singing along to a song! We were out for a meal at a very nice restaurant and I took Theo to the bathroom.

"I commented how nice the air freshener had made the bathroom smell, and as someone walked in he said, “Yep, but it’s about to get a whole lot worse!” Mortifying, but also hilarious…"

Peter shares Theo and daughters Millie and Arabella with his wife Emily MacDonagh. He is also a dad to Junior and Princess, who he shares with ex Katie Price.

While he often shares anectodes of family life in his weekly column and on social media, Peter does not show his three youngest children's faces online.

The decision was made by his wife Emily, with Peter sharing in 2023: " “I’ve got to be honest, this was an Emily decision and I respect that. Obviously the other two, from very young they were… we did what a lot of parent love to do. You get excited and you want to show your kid riding his bike or you want to show this awesome photo of your kids because, for me, you’re sharing something joyous.”

“When Emily, when we had Millie and Theo, said ‘I don’t want that’, I had to respect that and I understood her reasonings for it. She’s right, she doesn’t want them at school to be recognised. She just want them to be what she says is normal and I respect that.”

On the other end of the spectrum, Peter's daughter Princess recently released her own ITV docu-series and is carving out a career in showbiz.

Recently admitting he sees the youngster going "all the way" in this industry, Peter said he was "proud" of Princess for what she's achieved with the show.

Appearing on Lorraine, Peter told host Christine Lampard: "I do feel proud. I've always said to her, 'It's not about what you do, it's about who you are.' She's a really sweet, kind, loving person and that's really important because everything can come and go.

"This industry, we know it - it's very fickle. There are some beautiful parts that you can have from it but also very difficult times so she wants to do this, this is what she wants to do."

He added: "She has a good team behind her, I really believe she can go all the way. But stay humble, stay focused and don't think that once you've succeeded that's it. It's not. You've got to keep going."
