Peter Andre and wife Emily delight their kids with special Santa home visit

Peter Andre has shared a sweet video of his youngest son Theo meeting Father Christmas at the family's home.

In a festive treat, Peter, 49, and wife Emily, 33, arranged for Saint Nick to visit their kids Millie, eight, and Theo, six, and shared a clip of Santa singing on the steps with the excited pair.

In an Instagram post, The Mysterious Girl singer described the day as bittersweet, as he marked a decade since the death of his brother, Andrew, who passed away aged 54 after a battle with kidney cancer.

Alongside a video of Father Christmas arriving at their door, and Theo waving to him, Peter told his 1.8m followers: "What started off as a very sad day visiting my brother Andrew on the 10th anniversary of his passing with my daughter Princess and my brother Mike, Santa bought some much needed happiness into the house.

"Thank you for making the kids ( especially Theo ) so so happy. A bittersweet day. For all who have lost loved ones, thinking of you all today. [ love heart emojis]"

Emily also shared a photo of Santa and Theo on the stairs, writing on her Instagram story: "Theo and Millie couldn't believe it Santa actually sitting on our stars [love heart emoji]."

Peter, who is also dad to Junior, 17, and Princess, 15, is planning on flying his whole family to Australia to see his parents over Christmas.

The singer said that because he was already treating his eldest children to a trip to Oz his understanding kids have said they don't need anything else.

Peter, who was raised in Australia, told OK! magazine: "Junior and Princess have said they don’t want anything for Christmas.

“They said: 'You’re taking us to Australia to see our grandparents, that’s our Christmas present'.

"I love that about them – but they need to tell me at least one thing!”

But he triumphantly added: “I’ve finally started my Christmas shopping, but as always I will still be running around on Christmas Eve doing some last-minute bits. Hey, it wouldn’t be me otherwise!

“Junior and Princess have finally given me a list after I begged them to, but I’m still working on Emily’s present.

“Millie and Theo just want very simple things like marshmallows, which is very cute, and Theo has asked for toy cars.”

Lockdown halted the family's previous plans to spend the holidays with Pete's parents.

“Although our plans for Australia still aren’t concrete we are still planning to go,” he added.

“My parents haven’t seen Millie or Theo for three years, so it really will be incredible to see them reunited.”

Peter shares Junior and Princess with ex-wife Katie Price. The couple met in 2005 on I'm A Celeb but ended things in 2009.
