Peter Andre's wife hides kids' faces over fears trolls will mock their looks

Peter Andre's worried wife Emily MacDonagh lives in fear of vicious trolls attacking her children over their looks.

She refuses to let their kids enter the showbiz spotlight because of what vile social media users have said in the past.

Millie, six, and Theo, three, are very rarely seen on TV or online - and with good reason.

Bitter experiences of what Pete's other children have gone through means a black-out is best all round.

The family spoke to The Sun as they celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary.

Peter said: “I respect Emily’s ­decision to keep the kids out of the limelight.

“I also think that with kids these days, I have to let go of the reins as they are different to our generation.”

Emily responded: “You didn’t make that decision at that time, Pete, but now we have the benefit of hindsight as well to see how it has been for ­Junior and Princess.

“I’ve seen comments where ­people are horrible about a baby’s looks and celebrity kids.

"'She’s unlucky she looks like her dad' and so on. It’s absolutely disgusting.

"Millie has already asked me why her face can’t be shown on TV but I 100 per cent don’t think it’s the right thing to do. I'm sticking to that."

Pete felt his wife's wrath in May after a lapse in concentration.

The singer claimed he was in the "dog house" after he broke his agreement not to show son Theo's face on TV.

Proud Peter showed off his youngest son in his lap on a Loose Women video call.

"I’m sooo in the dog house.. Hey accidents happen we are in lockdown.... @loosewomen @itv," he explained after the error.

Little Theo was seen climbing all over him as Peter did a from-home broadcast on the ITV show.
