Emily Andre doesn't 'make a big deal' of being nude around her children

Emily Andre says she doesn't 'make a big deal' of being naked when she is around her children so that she can inspire body confidence in them. Emily, who is married to the famous singer Peter, says she aims not to be "critical" about her body shape in front of her two young children, the Mirror reported.

Writing in a column for OK! Magazine, Emily says she doesn't consider it a problem if her children walk in and see her when she is getting dressed. And she added that she moderates her own body self criticism in front of them as she doesn't want Theo, 5, and Amelia, 8, to grow up worrying about how they look.

Emily wrote: "On Loose Women last week, the panellists were discussing when the right time is to stop being naked in front of your children. Frankie Bridge admitted that she and her husband Wayne are “quite a naked family” and said she wouldn’t cover up unless her sons expressed that they were uncomfortable.

"I don’t think there is a set age or time and I think it depends on what you’re comfortable with and what they’re comfortable with. I don’t make a show of parading around naked – and it’s not like I do the housework with no clothes on – but if the kids happen to be around when I’m getting changed I don’t make a big deal out of it.

"I also think immediately covering up would draw more attention to it than there needs to be. But we have had conversations with the kids about who can and can’t see each other with no clothes on so they know that it’s only me and Daddy.

"The other thing I have been very conscious of since they were young is not being critical about my shape in front of them as I want them to be body confident as they grow up."
