Peter Andre’s ITV interview in chaos as rarely-seen daughter Amelia runs into shot and Princess and Junior message him
PETER Andre was left red-faced tonight after his rarely-seen daughter Amelia darted into shot during a live TV interview.
The singer, 48, was sat in his office at home for the video chat on ITV’s Evening News when his eight-year-old suddenly appeared behind him.
Seconds later, Peter’s eldest children, Junior and Princess, added to the chaos by sending him instant messages on his computer.
As a result, he forgot what he had just been asked thanks to several ‘ping’ notification noises.
Looking embarrassed, Peter – who had already gasped “Millie!” at the sight of his daughter – told news presenter Charlene White: “Sorry about that. I don’t know why that noise keeps happening.”
Quick-thinking Charlene told him: “It’s because someone’s texting to say they are watching you on the telly. It’s understandable.”
But Pete replied: “Actually, one is from Junior and one is from Princess.
“Both of them are my kids, so I think that’s allowed. But I can’t turn it on silent on the computer.”
He then added: “Sorry, what was the question?!”
Minutes before going live, Peter – who together with wife Emily keep Amelia and younger brother Theo’s faces private – had filmed himself as he sat waiting for his chat.
In the footage, posted to Instagram, he said: “I’m going to go on ITV News at about 6.15pm. If you get a chance…here, I’ll show you. This lovely lady is on.”
Peter turned the camera to face his computer monitor, as he continued: “She can’t even hear me. She might be able to hear me…”
Following the broadcast, one fan commented on his post: “Your daughter’s shocked face when she entered the room. Bless her!”
Another admitted: “My heart sank for you whilst watching .”
Peter had appeared on the ITV Evening News to chat about his new role in the West End stage production of Grease.
