Emily Andre has opened up about the “guilt” she feels as a working mum.
Singer Peter Andre’s wife works in a hospital as a junior doctor. The couple married in 2015 and share kids Amelia, five, and Theo, two.
Brunette Emily, who turns 30 this August, revealed that she finds juggling a stressful medical career with motherhood tough.
Opening up to OK! magazine, she said: “It is tough, but I’m lucky because Pete is very supportive and my work help me out with hours and make sure I leave on time.”

Asked if she suffers from guilt as a working mum, Emily admitted: “Yes, but it’s normal. I want to be a good role model to them and for them to see you can have a balance between work and being a parent.”
While Emily is out at work, doting dad Pete, 46, is on hand to look after the kids. However, Emily admits that she does send the star parenting instructions via text message.
“I have to send him messages with instructions sometimes, but I try not to. Generally he’s very good. He’s a great dad. It’s about having a calm head and that’s one thing I’m probably better at than Pete. Pete gets quite panicky.”
The Mysterious Girl singer, who is also dad to Junior, 13, and Princess, 11, with ex-wife Katie Price, recently left fans wondering if he was broody for baby number five after cooing over the new royal baby.

Writing in his New! magazine column, he said: “Since the arrival of Harry and Meghan’s son Archie, I’ve started thinking, should we try for another one?”
He admitted: “I’d love to. I know the joyful feelings they’re experiencing right now and it brings it all back home.”
However, it seems Emily is more than happy with the brood she already has, with Pete admitting she isn’t keen to try for her third baby just yet.
He joked: “Emily wants me to sleep on the other side of the bed now.”
The couple looked loved-up and happier than ever last week as they attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace, with fans calling the pair “truly couple goals”.
