Emily Andre reveals huge parenting struggle after Peter's furious Katie Price statement
Emily Andre opened up about her struggles with parenting, as she recently celebrated her ten year anniversary with husband Peter Andre.
The couple tied the knot in 2015, and share three children together, Amelia, 11, Theo, 8 and Arabella, one. Emily is also step mother to Peter's oldest kids who he shares with Katie Price, Princess, 18, and Junior, 20.
The 36-year-old doctor joined Sian Welby and Craig Doyle on the This Morning sofa to speak about her new children's book, as the conversation quickly moved onto Peter and the kids. It comes after Katie Price is left unable to complete basic functions after latest facial surgeries.
As well as her new venture, Emily still has her job in the NHS, as presenter Sian asked her: 'How do you find the time with everything? You've got three young children, almost like a step parent as well and you've got your job with the NHS, you're so busy."
Emily admitted she was just like all other parents, and doesn't 'always get it right,' as she admitted: 'I think it's the same like all parents. I feel like I'm juggling all the time.
'I feel like I don't always get it right a lot of the time. I try to be the best I can be at home, I try to be the best I can be in whatever work I'm doing."
Concluding, she added: 'But you never quite get it right. You just do your best don't you. I feel like I'm constantly running around.'
Emily's expressed how she couldn't believe she'd been married to the Mysterious Girl singer for ten years.
It comes after Peter made a gushing tribute to his wife amid his explosive fall out with ex-wife Katie Price. It came after Pete lashed out at his troubled ex - accusing her of peddling lies about their family dynamic for years.
"For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today," he started the lengthy statement.
It came after Katie had hinted she had been blocked from taking part in a recent documentary about daughter Princess. The star then went on to suggest Peter join her on her podcast so they could clear the air over their relationship as co-parents.
Katie then issued a lengthy statement in response, which said, in part: "At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness. I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, and an untrustworthy partner. I've self-medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love.
However, it looked like Pete wanted to put all the drama with his ex wife behind him this weekend, as he celebrated Emily's 36th birthday.
Sharing a collection of images of her on his Instagram feed, he gushed: "Happy Birthday, Emily. We love you beyond words."

Emily Atack reveals Rivals nude scene secrets as she vows to go on playing sexy women ‘for as long as they'll have me'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DOOMED love affair, naked tennis and plenty of sex are just some of the things that Emily Atack's character Sarah Stratton gets up to in telly bonkbuster Rivals. And the actress reckons she is the ideal person to play the blonde bombshell — as she is practically the same person. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Emily Atack reckons she is practically the same person as her Rivals character 6 The naked tennis match featuring Emily's character Sarah Stratton is a key scene in Jilly Cooper's original novel Credit: Planet Photos 6 Emily says she 'wasn't afraid to identify' with her Rivals character Credit: Instagram @emilyatack Emily, 35, is seen in the Disney+ eight-parter having her heart broken by sexy Lothario Rupert Campbell-Black, which she says she can definitely relate to. She revealed: 'I wasn't afraid to identify with her and I completely, I AM her. 'I'm a very flawed woman. 'I've made terrible decisions in my love life. 'I used all of that — it was completely genuine — and yes, I used the vulnerability, all of it. 'Finally, women are being written about in a certain way. 'These demonised women, they're not being celebrated but they are being understood better. 'Women like Sarah Stratton have never been written with nuance. 'They're always certain types of women — the demonised types of women, you know, the home wreckers and everything. 'Big furry knickers' 'I think people have been quite scared to admit that they identify with characters like Sarah.' Emily Atack says stripping for Rivals and playing naked tennis 'was liberating' In Rivals, Sarah is a wannabe TV host who is married to Deputy Prime Minister Paul Stratton, played by Rufus Jones, and is unquestionably one of the most glamorous characters on the show — which Emily loved. The actress, who shot to fame playing Charlotte 'Big Jugs' Hinchcliffe on Channel 4 sitcom The Inbetweeners, says: 'There are roles that come along and the term 'typecast' is always seen as this negative thing. 'I've been typecast my whole life and I loved every single minute of it. 'I will carry on playing these sexy women for as long as they will have me.' Having been romantically linked to a string of celebrities, ranging from Harry Styles to Jack Grealish, Emily is now in engaged to scientist Dr Alistair Garner, with whom she shares 16-month-old son Barney. Her stint on The Inbetweeners from 2008 to 2010 led to a long line of other work ranging from stand-up comedy to acting. Rivals, which has been a hit around the globe since it came out last year, is arguably her biggest gig to date — and it's one which, arguably, she was destined to play. I just made it my part before they could even make a decision. This particular one I was like, yeah they'd be stupid not to (hire me.) Emily Atack Talking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Emily revealed how producers specifically had her in mind for the role, which she embraced. She said: 'The breakdown for the characters said, 'Think Emily Atack', so they went, 'Well, let's just get Emily, then.' 'I still had to audition. 'I went in with all the get-up on and they thought I'd dressed up. 'I was actually just going to a bar afterwards. 'They were like, 'Thank you so much for dressing as the role,' I was like, 'No worries.'' 6 Emily is now in engaged to scientist Dr Alistair Garner Credit: Instagram 6 Emily is seen in the Disney+ eight-parter having her heart broken by sexy Lothario Rupert Campbell-Black Credit: Instagram She added sarcastically: 'I had to dig REAL deep for my character. 'As soon as you read something like that it naturally flows out of you. 'You naturally feel at home with it. 'That's how I felt with Sarah Stratton. 'I just made it my part before they could even make a decision. 'This particular one I was like, yeah they'd be stupid not to (hire me.)'' Now Emily is reprising her role as Sarah, opposite Alex Hassell as Tory MP Rupert, in the second series of Rivals which is halfway through filming and is expected to drop late next year. 'Stick-on muff' She can't emphasise enough how well the cast get on, which is partly down to their 'no d***s on set' policy — meaning no bad behaviour. That rule was also essential when she and Alex had to film their naked tennis match in the grounds of Rupert's grand stately house, which is a key scene in Jilly Cooper's original novel. It has become synonymous with the show, and earlier this year it was even nominated as one of Bafta's TV Moments Of The Year. Well-endowed Rupert was supposed to have a member that he could 'bat bread rolls' with, and the creative team did consider giving him an oversized prosthetic to wear. But while they opted for the actor to go with the 'model's own' option, Emily had something more than a tennis racket and balls to cover herself up — and it was not just for reasons of modesty. She revealed: 'I had a stick-on muff. 6 Emily shot to fame playing Charlotte 'Big Jugs' Hinchcliffe on Channel 4 sitcom The Inbetweeners Credit: Handout 'I had to have a merkin, it's called, and I had all these fittings for them. 'They were going: 'Oh no, it's too blonde that one,' and it had to be a proper Eighties bush. 'But that actually helped because it actually just felt like I had these big furry knickers on, and I kept looking at the monitor going: 'Oh, do I look alright? Oh God!' 'And seeing yourself naked on camera like that is so weird and jarring but once I'd seen it I was like, oh, fine. 'I couldn't put my clothes back on. 'It was quite liberating. 'They were like, 'Emily, can you put your clothes back on now?'' But she was keen to point out that despite the sexual nature of the scenes and the nudity, she never felt uncomfortable because, like on other dramas, intimacy co-ordinators were on set. 'Safe environment' They were needed on Rivals as there were many sex scenes involving a lot of characters — which, of course, were all based on the sauciness in Jilly's books. Emily said: 'It's a very new profession, the intimacy co-ordinators. 'Everybody is still navigating it and working it out. 'But I'm really proud of Rivals and it is such a massive representation of how far we have come in the industry in terms of taking care of people's needs and emotions. 'It's such a safe environment, and I'm not just saying that because I'm on it.' Filming of series two started in May and will continue until February, with Jilly back, heavily involved in the production. The novelist has even invited all the cast to an enormous party — which means Emily will jet down from Edinburgh to the West Country immediately after her stint at the TV festival. Then she will go direct from partying to filming her next scenes in Rivals. Emily said: 'Yes, I'm going to Jilly Cooper's house tonight. 'My pick-up time is hideous tomorrow, though — they do that to me so I don't stay out too late!'

Suranne Jones: ‘My son cringed at one part of my new Netflix thriller'
Let's set the scene: it's a sunny day on Downing Street and the press corps is waiting, cameras poised, for the Prime Minister, when out from Number 10 steps Suranne Jones. Except, it isn't Suranne Jones. This is our latest elected leader Abigail Dalton. (Albeit an unlikely name for a British PM.) With a sharply cropped new hairdo – more on that later – and a plum power suit, Jones stars in Netflix's new political thriller Hostage, across from Julie Delpy's visiting French president. The two world leaders are locked in tense negotiations over Channel boat crossings and NHS medication supplies when disaster, right on cue, strikes. Abigail's do-gooder husband Alex (Bashy) is in French Guiana on a Doctors Without Borders project, when his entire cohort is kidnapped by a masked gang. Their ransom request? Abigail must resign, or they'll start picking off doctors one by one. Given that he's been snatched in French territory and it turns out the kidnappers have dirt on the French pres too, what unfolds is a gripping, if somewhat unlikely, political thriller with two frenemy female leaders going head-to-head.

Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Ahead of the five-part show's release on Netflix this Thursday (August 21), Suranne spoke to Metro about working with writer Matt Charman on what type of 'strong female character' she had yet to tackle, when she noticed a politically-themed role was missing from her head count. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Doing double duty as both the show's star and an executive producer meant Suranne was part of the decision-making process on elements like makeup and costume, which real-world female politicians have said is always being carefully managed to ensure it's on brand. Delpy's president Vivienne Toussaint first emerges from a car with all the sleek menace of a knife, wearing a white coat with a slash of red lipstick (the type of thing the Before Sunrise star tells us is the complete opposite of her 'sloppy' norm). 'Abigail matches [Vivienne] in a way,' says Suranne. 'She gets a little bit more put together as her life starts falling apart, which is interesting. You're adding layers, you're adding armour, because you need to be perceived as in control.' With a knowing smile, she adds: 'Also it's a Netflix show. At a very base level, I want to watch and go, 'I want to wear her coat'.' The 46-year-old has become one of British TV's most bankable terrestrial stars – with shows like Vigil and Gentleman Jack on the BBC – but Hostage marks her first foray into the gleaming, glossy-coat world of Netflix. While making TV is by no means an easy feat, Suranne and Julie do point out all the ways their lives are not like their Hostage counterparts. For one thing, Suranne says, she gets more sleep. The stars researched real-life politicians who have walked the corridors of power and remarked upon the 'instant' changes in their hair and pallor when they take office – as if the weight of responsibilities has dawned and taken a psychical toll. Part of that is why Abigail undergoes a drastic hair transformation from the brief scene we see before the election, to the moment she later approaches the despatch box in Parliament. It's a she-means-business cropped 'do. 'Chopping her hair off is something less to worry about,' says Suranne. 'It's taken me a long time to grow it back. My son hated it. He said, 'Mummy, please don't pick me up at the school gates'.' More Trending This makes it sound a much worse trim than it actually is. 'I liked it,' Suranne adds. 'But he was just like 'Oh, cringe'.' It is the case that with the fast-paced twists and turns Hostage takes us on, Abigail's hair is likely the last thing she wants to be thinking about. There are far more important matters at hand. As Julie puts it: 'Usually there's one woman and all men around managing her. Here, it's like women managing everything else.'

Emily in Paris first look as Lily Collins returns to iconic role - but in a new city
Netflix hit series Emily in Paris is back this December and this time around, Emily, played by Lily Collins, takes on a new chapter in her career and is now leading Agence Grateau's Rome office Emily in Paris is on the move again and this time she's saying 'ciao' to the city of Venice. The hit Netflix series, lead starring Lily Collins, will shift its setting to the iconic Italian city for its upcoming fifth season with ten brand-new episodes which will all debut December 18. According to Netflix, the new season follows Emily as she navigates life in a new city as the head of Agence Grateau's Rome office. The official synopsis for the brand-new season reads: "Now the head of Agence Grateau Rome, Emily faces professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city. But just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks. It comes after one prominent character of the Netflix show 'made the decision to step away' after five successful years. The synopsis for the new season continues: "Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle, until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships. Tackling conflict with honesty, Emily emerges with deeper connections, renewed clarity, and a readiness to embrace new possibilities." Collins, 36, reprises her role alongside returning cast members Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, William Abadie, Lucien Laviscount, Eugenio Franceschini, Thalia Besson, Paul Forman, Arnaud Binard, Minnie Driver, Bryan Greenberg, and Michèle Laroque. Lucas Bravo, whose character Gabriel has been central to the series since season one, had previously expressed doubts about returning. He told The Hollywood Reporter that Gabriel's decisions had caused him to feel distant from the role, saying: 'He made a few choices that made me kind of grow away from him. We were very much alike in season one, but now, I don't really know. I think I feel like he needs to get his shit together.' Despite this, Bravo is confirmed to return for season five. Season four included a storyline set in Rome, which Collins described as a refreshing change. 'It was so great to go from Paris to Rome because you're still in Europe and you're still feeling that romance and passion of Europe, but you're getting to experience a different part of history which was really fun,' she told THR during last year's premiere. The show's international filming has sparked political reactions in the past. After the Rome shoot, French President Emmanuel Macron joked he would 'fight hard' to keep the show from relocating permanently. In response, Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri told THR Roma: "Doesn't President Macron have more pressing matters to worry about? I would like to believe, at least I would like to hope, that Macron was joking, because he ought to know that a production company like Netflix does not take orders from heads of state or make decisions based on political pressure.'
