Peter Andre has revealed he had to convince his teeenage kids they’re ‘naturally beautiful’ after they thought he’d edited a photo of them.
The singer shares Junior, 17, and Princess, 15, with ex Katie Price, as well as Amelia, eight, and Theo, five, with his wife Emily MacDonagh.
Peter recently recalled sharing a photo of Junior and Princess online after they attended an event together.
‘They both said they loved the photo and asked me what I’d done to it to make it look like that,’ he wrote in his column for New! Magazine.
‘I had to explain to them, I hadn’t edited it in any way. I almost had to convince them they just look amazing and are naturally beautiful.’
He added: ‘I could never say photos shouldn’t be touched up… but it’s good for people to believe they look great the way they are.’

Peter is understandably very protective of his kids, recently addressing trolling that Princess faces online.
He admitted in one recent column that he worries Princess could get caught in a ‘spiral’ of worrying about what the comments are saying.

He revealed that he told Princess to turn her comments off and block or ignore people posting negative comments, adding: ‘But when I saw someone accusing her of editing one of her pictures, and she replied, my comment was basically not to get into the habit of worrying about what people say.’
Meanwhile, he’s also been super supportive of them as they grow up in the public eye, with son Junior seemingly following in his dad’s footsteps as he forges a music career.
Junior, who released his first single Slide in July, later played his first gig to a packed out venue in Sunderland at Shutdown, an under-18s event.
Watching on from backstage, Peter declared himself a ‘proud Pops’.
‘So proud of you on your first ever gig son. Let’s go go go 🔥 🚀 @officialjunior_andre ,’ Peter wrote, adding: ‘So much more to come…..’.
