Peter Andre captured the wholesome moment his beloved mother was reunited with her grandson Junior for the first time in almost a year.
The Mysterious Girl singer recently flew his family out to his homeland of Australia to visit his parents’ amid their declining health.
He previously spoke of his desire to return Down Under to spend precious time with his mum Thea, 86, and dad Savvas, 79, before they become too frail.
In a new Instagram video, Pete, 49, shared a heartwarming video of Thea becoming overjoyed as her grandson Junior, 16, walked into the room.
‘Hello Junior,’ Thea says with a bright smile as Junior approaches her, before the two share a warm embrace for several moments and the teen sweetly stroking her arm.
She’s also seen giving Pete’s youngest son Theo, six, a big hug as the singer’s daughter Princess, 15, sits beside them.

Pete captioned the post: ‘We love you mum ♥️ Her reaction to junior is beautiful. Always asking about Bista ♥️♥️
‘They always speak Greek together.’
Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid and JLS singer Oritse Williams were moved by the clip and posted heart emoji, while one fan commented: ‘Made my heart cry and happy at the same time 💔 You never imagine your parents getting older and frailer. Your mum eyes lighted up. Hold onto your loved ones and cherish everything.’

Praising Junior, one added: ‘Such a beautiful start to my day. The way junior cuddled her must make you so proud. The joy in her eyes – wonderful x.’
In a previous post from the trip, Pete’s wife Dr Emily MacDonagh is seen also enjoying warm moments with Thea.
It’s the TV star’s second trip home in a year after making the big journey to Australia in March 2022, his first visit in two years due to the pandemic.
The former I’m A Celebrity campmate previously wrote in his New magazine column that he feared for his parents as he ages himself.
‘I feel great about being a year away from 50. I dreaded turning 40 but actually my 40s have been really amazing, I feel relaxed, and in a very happy place career wise and personally.
‘The only thing that worries me about turning another year older is that my parents are getting older and my mum’s health is really declining, which makes me sad,’ he said.
