Peter Andre makes brutal admission to son Junior after wild pop star antics
PETER Andre has confessed to his wild behaviour whilst on the rise to fame.
Peter, 50, who is a TV favourite, singer and performer, got candid with his son, Junior, 18.
In a new chat, Peter was honest about how much she has changed since he first burst onto the scene in 1995, with his release of smash hit “Mysterious Girl”.
He admitted that, as a Father, he has learnt a-lot since then.
The dad-of-four puts it all down to parenthood, stating to In a chat with The Mirror: “As a father I have learned a lot.
“It’s something I feel proud of because I think it’s very important to show you have changed as you get older.”
The musician, who is currently starring on Cooking With The Stars, looked back on his bad behaviour, whilst enjoying the party scene, including smoking cigarettes and swearing.
He explained: “But the thought of me putting a cigarette in my mouth now is absurd. I also used to swear in my videos – effing and blinding, showing off.
“Now the kids are like, ‘Dad we never hear a swear word in the house.’”
Peter also described his past self as an “idiot” as he relayed a conversation he had with his son.
He explained his old opinions like thinking the colour pink is for girls and the colour blue is for boys, as well as viewpoints like “girls kiss boys and boys kiss girls”.
Peter went on to state: “But by the time he got to 12, I was sitting them down and saying ‘it doesn’t matter who you love as long as you are respectful and as long as you genuinely care for them’.
“And then Junior would throw something at me like ‘were you always respectful to your girlfriends?’ I would have to say to him ‘no, I wasn’t always, I was an idiot and my job is to teach you not to be that idiot!’”
It comes after he revealed that he sat son Junior down before his trip to Ibiza to offer some words of advice.
Shortly after Peter dropped Junior off at the airport he admitted to his Instagram that he ‘felt sick and is stressed’ about his son’s travels.
Speaking on on the latest episode of Vicky Pattison: The Secret To, Peter said: “I was stressing, I was freaking out, for only about an hour or two and then I thought ‘What were you doing at 18?’
“And I remembered what I was like at 18. And I was like, you know what? He’s gonna have the time of his life. He’s sensible enough to know. He’s gonna drink, he’s gonna have fun.
“But I just said to him, my exact words to him were: ‘What do you think I’m going to say to you?
“He said: ‘Yes, Dad, stay away from the drugs’. I said: ‘That’s all I’m saying to you. That’s it.'”
