Peter Andre's wife Emily has opened up about the struggles of working on the NHS frontline during the coronavirus pandemic and admitted it's a very 'anxious time' for staff.
As a junior medic, 30-year-old Emily has been helping patients at a hospital in Surrey while her husband of four years Peter,47, takes care of their two children Amelia, six, and Theo, three.
Emily says she's dealing with long hours, staff shortages and the constant fear she will infect her family after treating patients all day.
"I think I speak for many NHS staff and key workers when I say it's a very anxious time at the moment," said Emily
In an open letter shared with The Sun, Emily said that she feels 'lucky' that she can rely on Pete during these difficult times.
Emily said that that she leaves the family home at 7:30 in the morning - without seeing the kids - and heads to her long shifts at the hospital.
Then after her gruelling shifts, Emily said she often returns home late and doesn't get to spend any time with her two youngsters before heading off to bed.
But the mum said she and her co-workers are spurred on by the generosity and support for the NHS which has helped lift their moods over the last few weeks.
"The number of kind gestures I have seen is overwhelming. People bringing in food for hospital workers, offering them places to stay or simply just words of encouragement," she said.
Emily also praised her husband Pete for his hard work at home.
"I've very lucky to have such a hands-on husband," she said.
Peter has been homeschooling their little ones since the lockdown in March and children Princess and Junior who he shares with ex wife Katie Price.
The Mysterious Girl singer said that he and Emily have been 'social distancing' at home in order to be 'sensible.'
However, he said they were still sleeping in the bed as their mattress is 'two metres wide.'
But speaking to OK! Magazine, Peter said two were not being intimate with each other and were 'kissing and hugging through windows.'
