Peter Andre and Gary Barlow bond over fatherhood


Peter Andre and Gary Barlow have exchanged parenting tips.

The 40-year-old singer – who already has Junior, eight, and Princess, six, with ex-wife Katie Price and three-week-old daughter Amelia with fiancé Emily MacDonagh – admitted him and the ‘X Factor’ judge found there is "no right and wrong way" to raise children.

He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I had this chat with Gary Barlow – he won Father of the Year last year and I had it the two years before.

"We discussed what makes a good parent, and the answer is simple, no one does it the right or wrong way, you put your kids first, you’re a good parent. I’m much easier and more lenient with my kids than my parents were with me, but it doesn’t make me a worse parent, it’s my way.

"Before he won, Gary said ‘I’m taking it off you this year, Andre’. I said I’d let him have it, maybe I need to give my arm a rest."

Peter – who proposed to Emily on New Year’s Eve after 18 months together – is delighted with what his life has to offer him at the moment and is looking forward to the future

He gushed: "I have the wonderful gift of a baby, the engagement, and to have this as well, a career thing. It’s unbelievable."
