Peter Andre has opened up about some of the strict rules that his wife Emily MacDonagh has for their children, saying one in particular makes the older kids' "eyes roll".
When the youngsters are staying at the pair's Surrey home, Emily reportedly doesn't allow iPads during the week for nine-year-old Millie and six-year-old Theo.
However Peter Andre's two older children that he shares with ex-wife Katie Price, Junior and Princess, had a different experience growing up and did so glued to their devices. But when they are staying with Pete and Emily, the same rules apply to all the children.
The Mirror reports that the only time the children are allowed any screen time is on a Sunday morning, much to their dismay.
When it comes to sitting down to eat together, their dining table is a ‘no-phones zone’ – and the family have a one-screen policy while they are watching TV.
In a candid interview with The Times, dad Pete revealed: “Emily’s a very strict mum... you should see the eye-rolling.”
Full of praise for his NHS doctor wife, who he has been with since 2010, he says she's changed his perspective on a lot of things.
Pete, who has just turned 50, said: “She’s smart and sensible and organised and she makes me things very differently. She has made me be like I was when I was really young.
“I sort of went into this crazy life from my late teens to 40 and then all of a sudden she has brought out the simple part of me again.”
He even claims that in over a decade together, the couple are yet to have an argument, saying Emily has a calming effect on him.
These days Pete says he “never gets angry” but says he began to rebel in his teens after being brought up as a strict Jehovah’s Witness.
Now a children’s author himself, he said the only book he was allowed to read as a child was the bible.
But when his music career took off after he landed a record deal at 16 following an appearance on Australian talent show New Faces, he “rebelled against everything”.
“I hadn’t been allowed to do anything, so it was just mad,” Pete explained.
Although he never touched drugs as “that would have broken my parent’s hearts”, he admitted there was a lot of casual sex, shirtless posing and arrogance – which he feels bad about now.
Pete said: “It was an insecurity thing, trying to prove a point because of the years that you weren’t accepted. I don’t like who I became when I was just going with girls and not caring. I just went off on a tangent.”
His behaviour led to a nervous breakdown at the height of his fame when he was just 25 years old. But after six years of medication and therapy, Pete was thrust back into the spotlight when he took part in I’m A Celebrity 2004.
