Peter Andre says he's 'scared' after his daughter, Princess, turned 18 on Sunday, admitting the thought of his little girl growing up isn't an easy one.
Even looking ahead to her wedding, the doting dad of five says he's excited to walk her down the aisle one day, despite Princess reportedly splitting from her boyfriend last month.
Taking to his weekly New! Magazine column, Peter said of his daughter's milestone: "My beautiful daughter, Princess, has hit the 18 mark! It is so scary, but she’s a blessing. She’s very driven, she’s funny, she’s kind, she has a beautiful heart, and she’s completely bonkers – and that’s exactly why I love her.
"Yes, I’m a bit nervous about it all, because, by the time this column comes out, I have no legal parental responsibility over her… She can do what she likes and make her own decisions," he continued.
Peter added: "To be honest, she’s been doing that for the last year anyway, and I’m proud of everything she’s done. She’ll always be my little girl, and I guess I can rest in the knowledge that hopefully, one day, I’ll be the one walking her down the aisle. So I’ll be a soppy dad all over again."
Alongside Princess, Peter shares eldest Junior with his ex-wife Katie Price. While he and wife Emily MacDonagh are parents to Theo, Amelia and Arabella - keeping all three children away from the spotlight.
However, Princess and Junior are quite the opposite as the teens are already following in their famous parents footsteps with large social media followings and budding careers in showbusiness.
With her own reality show on the way and several brand collaboration deals already under her belt, Princess is clearly determined to make it big. While Junior has already pursued a career in music and has a strong social media presence.
Admitting she knows it's not easy for her dad to see her grow up, Princess - who bought herself an Audi as an 18th birthday present - recently shared: “He’s so proud and so supportive, but I think it’s hard to see your kid get older... he was the first person I took for a drive in the new car.
"We were listening to music and suddenly I heard him sobbing. I was like, ‘Are you okay?’ And he admitted it was weird for him to see me grow up.”
While Princess may be 18, Peter won't have to worry about her getting up to too much mischief, she said. "I’m not really a big drinker or a big party-goer, but it’ll be nice to be able to go to pubs and stuff with my friends,” Princess explained.
“But at the same time, I’m not the sort of person who would embarrass myself. I’ll never put myself in a position that would make me look bad.”
