Peter Andre says wife Emily is 'dreading' son Theo's first day of school

Peter Andre has admitted his wife Emily is not really looking forward to her youngest child Theo's first day of school.

Pete made the admission after posting a pic of him playing with the four-year-old, saying while his wife is happy for him to start his new adventure, he's not sure how she is going to cope with the change.

Writing in New magazine he said: "I recently posted some videos of me messing around with Theo on Instagram. Some people were asking: "Is he laughing or crying? Because he was laughing so much. He jumps on me all the time.

"He's going to be starting school in a few weeks and I think it'll be great for him to get some independence, but Emily's both sad and happy about it.

"She obviously wants him to go for him, but at the same time she's like "He's my little baby!" It will be a big day when it comes around."

Peter and Emily are celebrating six years of marriage this year and are parents to both Theo and seven-year-old Amelia.

Pete first met his partner when her father was treating him for kidney stones.

Emily, who is also a doctor, was just 20 at the time, 16 years younger than the former pop star.

However after Peter asked Emily's dad for permission to date her the rest was history.

The pair decided to keep their relationship secret until 2012, when she finally appeared on his reality TV show.

Their daughter Amelia was at the wedding and they now also have little Theo, four.

While Peter's older children with Katie Price have been famous since they were born, Emily chose not to give her children the same exposure.

Peter told Closer magazine: "There are some parents that don't want to do it and you've got to respect that as well. Emily's one of those parents that doesn't want it so I've got to respect that."

The Mysterious Girl singer is getting anxious about the rest of his children flying the nest – with the star fearing that his eldest son, Junior, will soon leave home.

The 16-year-old has recently signed a lucrative record contract with the same label as Calvin Harris and Harry Styles.

Junior announced he's been signed up to release music with Columbia Records UK following in the footsteps of his pop star dad.

The teenager posted a picture of himself with his dad standing alongside several members of the Rebel record label and shared the big news with his 485,000 followers.

Posting proudly he said: "I would just like to say thank you to the team @rebelrecs alongside my dad who have helped develop me into an artist."
