Emily Andre 'hasn't ruled out' baby number 3 with Pete as she unveils glam transformation

As a mother-of-two, working as a doctor in the NHS and supporting husband Peter Andre as he hip-swivels in West End show Grease, Emily Andre has plenty on her plate.

And the doctor sheds lights on if she and Pete, 49, are ready to expand their brood after entering the next chapter in parenthood, with their youngest son Theo heading to school.

In an exclusive chat with Mirror Online Emily, 32, talks family life, the realisation 'drinking wasn't something I needed in my life' and stepping out of her comfort zone to transform into an Iron Woman to raise awareness for the importance of having iron and B12 in the diet for Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board's We Eat Balanced campaign.

With father-of-four Pete dropping hints about wanting to add to their family soon, Emily is a little more reserved but says she hasn't "ruled out the idea".

Emily, who is mum to Amelia, eight, son Theo, five, and playing an active role in Junior, 17, and 15-year-old Princess' lives, says: "I'm not ruling it out.

"At the moment, I just feel like Theo has started school and I think "oh it's so nice".

"There are no plans for kids at the moment. Maybe, at some point in the future but at the moment I really enjoy my job. I'm loving being a mum and I'm just really happy."

Emily admits she can suffer from 'mum guilt' as she juggles her challenging job as a doctor in the NHS with caring for their two children.

But one thing she says has been a "hugely positive" health benefit in the Andre household has been living a tee-total lifestyle - with the doctor giving up booze nearly a decade ago.

Having fallen pregnant with Amelia, Emily continued with sobriety - only having a sip of Champagne at her wedding to Pete in 2015 and didn't want to succumb to social pressure to take it up again.

"No alcohol has passed my lips - apart from cooking," she says.

"I'm quite sociable, quite chatty so I don't really miss it in a social situation. I definitely don't miss the hangovers or the taste. I kind of just thought I'm doing it for social pressure.

"I just never really started again. I don't look back. It made me feel so much better, I feel so much happier and I sleep better."

Pete also gave up booze shortly after Emily.

She said: "He thought' I'm not going to go and buy a bottle of wine and have it by myself'.

"He just followed me really and we both realised it's been a positive thing for us. For our health and just in general. It wasn't for a moral thing or anything like that. I don't have any problem with people drinking, I just realised it wasn't something I needed in my life."

Emily's latest mission is to highlight Britons to adopt a balanced diet, which contains plenty of iron and vitamin B12.

Having watched Pete take the spotlight, the doctor said she had to summon up the courage to star in a photoshoot as an Iron Woman.

Painted head to toe in silver paint and wearing a skintight unitar, Emily said: "I thought am I brave enough to do that? It was a really good cause so I can do it so I really pushed myself.

"This isn't my job, this is really different for me. It just goes to show you can do something that is totally different to what you would normally do and have the best time."

The pictures accompany AHDB’s We Eat Balanced campaign alongside new AHDB research which reveals 35% of women surveyed say they have been diagnosed with an iron deficiency.

In a clear message, Emily urged women to get to ensure they are getting enough iron in their diet, through red meat, nuts, dairy and leafy greens.

She said: "The fact that so many women and girls are already affected by low iron levels or suspect they may be iron deficient is worrying because iron is an important mineral that’s involved in various bodily functions including to help support the immune system and the symptoms - including tiredness and lack of energy - can impact daily life.

"What better way to bring attention to this issue than by turning myself into a real-life iron woman for the day in support of AHDB’s We Eat Balanced campaign.

"Eating a balanced diet is key to helping us get the wide range of nutrients that our bodies need, and there are plenty of cost-effective options available too."
