The Dubai-like spa hotel in the UK where Peter Andre and wife Emily go on child-free weekends
PETER Andre is a busy man, particularly now that his new movie, Jafaican, is being released, but there are times when he does like to put his feet up. The singer-turned-actor recently raved about his two favourite spa hotels in the UK. 6 6 One is spa Champneys, which coincidentally is celebrating its 100 year anniversary. Peter, who often visits the Henlow branch, told Sun Travel: "Champneys is like a home from home, who doesn't love it?" "I remember when I first came to England and people would say to me 'go and have a break at Champneys'. The food is great, I love using the pool and the gym - it has everything. "When I go it feels like a weight off my shoulders. I have been with Emily before, and we love it. You can make a day of it, and it's always really great." Peter married wife Dr Emily MacDonagh in July 2015, meaning this year they will be celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary. "It's hard to convince Emily to spend time away from the baby," added Peter, who with Emily shares 13 month old Arabella. "But the baby's over a year old now, and because it's our tenth wedding anniversary, I'd love to go somewhere with her - maybe for one night." Champneys is celebrating its 100th year after first opening its Stanley Lief health farm in 1925. To celebrate, they have various anniversary spa packages including spa days, stays and even boot camp options - a one-night stay at Champneys Henlow can cost from £154 per person. Another UK spa that Peter is a fan of, for anyone wanting to splash out, is the Fairmont in Windsor which he says reminds him of Dubai. 6 6 "When you walk in, it's like being in one of those incredible hotels in Dubai, it's unbelievable. And I don't know how people haven't discovered it yet. "It's incredible, even if you go just for one day to their spa." Fairmont Spa Windsor's Twilight Spa Package costs £270 for a spa day Monday to Thursday, and £290 for a spa day Friday to Sunday. Ahead of the release of his upcoming film, Jafaican, Peter went on a big family trip with his children, Junior, 19, and Princess, 17 and Amelia, 11, Theo, 9, and Arabella, 13 months, who he shares with his wife, Emily. Having been scoping out child-friendly destinations for so many years, Peter has high praise for Yas Island in Abu Dhabi - and with good reason. Peter told us: "Yas Island is the most child-friendly place I've ever been to - it's a kids' paradise. 6 "They cater for children first which is something I've never seen anywhere else. And then they've made it exciting for the adults - normally it's the other way around." The family made sure to check out Ferrari World, which is home to the world's fastest rollercoaster, as well as the huge Aquaventure World waterpark. Yas Island is also set to welcome yet another theme park, which Disney announced in May 2025. Peter recently returned to Australia for the world premiere of his comedy film Jafaican, which will be out in UK cinemas on May 20, 2025. Peter plays Gazza, a small-time London crook who takes on a high-stakes con job to cover £35,000 bill for his grandmother's care home fees. This English hotel is set to open 'secret garden spa' with swim-up pool bar and waterfalls. And this posh UK spa hotel praised by mums as perfect for kids – thanks to Ofsted creche, huge playbarn and early teatime. 6

Peter Andre reveals plans to ‘quit' the UK for Australia after ex Katie Price told of ‘difficult' co-parenting with him
PETER Andre has hinted at plans to "quit" the UK for Australia after sharing touching moments with his mum during a recent trip Down Under. The Mysterious Girl hitmaker admitted his thoughts on re-location as he posted a video showing him and his parent to his Instagram grid. 7 7 7 7 Peter, 52, has previously told of his devastation at leaving his mum miles away amid fears for her ill health. He revealed in 2023 that his mother, Thea, 88, has been diagnosed with both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease. Thea lives Down Under with Peter's father, Savvas, as she battles her declining health. Last year, Peter celebrated his parents' 69th wedding anniversary and paid tribute to them, admitting how "really tough it is to see your parents age or become ill". Now he has posted a sweet clip showing his mum cupping his face in her hands as he smiled at her. Peter, wearing a dark shirt and green baseball cap, could be heard saying: "I know." His mum uttered an "awww" before trying to say something else, with the chart star asking her to clarify what she said. In his caption, the I'm A Celeb alum said: "Spending time with mum is always the most important part of my trip. "Not exactly sure what mum is saying here but words are not always needed. I will be back very soon. "I Love her so much, I pray she knows that. I also love Australia. But back to my babies now." Flava singer Peter welcomed his third child, Arabella, now one, with wife Emily MacDonagh in April 2024. Together, the duo share two other children, Amelia, 11, and eight-year-old Theo. Peter also shares two kids, Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, with ex-wife Katie Price. One fan then asked the dad of five: "Would you consider moving back to Australia for a few years to spend more time with her? Also the wonderful lifestyle for children." He then candidly put: "Yes I actually want to and am hopeful." Peter, whose wife is an NHS doctor, then told another fan of the context behind the video. He wrote: "It was so special. To be honest, it was bittersweet because dad was there but mum couldn't be. I wish she saw how wonderful everyone was." CO PARENT CLASH His sweet upload came just a day after his ex wife Katie Price told of their struggles co-parenting. He shares Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, with the former glamour model - who opened up on their dynamic as exes on a new podcast. In the chat, Katie told of the real reason for their break-up, after the former couple famously met on I'm A Celebrity in 2004 where their chemistry played out on screen. After leaving the jungle, their romance moved quickly - they got engaged in secret just a few months later and tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in 2005. But by 2009, their fairytale had unravelled. Speaking on Paul C. Brunson 's We Need To Talk podcast, Katie, 46, has opened up about what really happened behind the scenes. She revealed how, at the time, Peter became convinced she had been unfaithful with her dressage trainer, Andrew Gould. Katie insisted: 'There was nothing going on. I just kept my horse at his stables - he was married, and I was happy just keeping my horse there.' According to Katie, Peter's suspicions sparked repeated arguments until she reached her breaking point. She said: "He kept saying, 'I've had enough, I've had enough.' In the end, I said, 'Fine, divorce me then.' And that was that.' Katie told of the emotional toll co-parenting has taken on her, and confessed on the podcast: 'It's the hardest thing. "But over time, you learn what people are really like. It's been tough." 7 7

"Emily had a real complication with Belle [...] And I don't know if she's ever talked about it, but the complications that happened after were very serious. He added: "And so we—you know, it was a very scary time as well. But it also confirmed that it's the last time." 5 5

‘It's a kids' paradise': Peter Andre discovers the world's most child-friendly holiday destination
YAS Island has white sandy beaches, huge hotels and with four theme parks, making it the go-to destination for anyone with children, according to Peter Andre. Peter, along with his wife Emily and his five children, visited the leisure island on their most recent family holiday, where they had adrenaline-filled fun at Ferrari World and went celeb spotting at the waterpark. 5 5 Ahead of the release of his upcoming film, Jafaican, Peter went on a big family trip with his children, Junior, 19, and Princess, 17 and Amelia, 11, Theo, 9, and Arabella, 13 months, who he shares with his wife, Dr Emily MacDonagh. Having been scoping out child-friendly destinations for many years, Peter has high praise for Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. Peter told Sun Travel: "Yas Island is the most child-friendly place I've ever been to - it's a kids' paradise. "They cater for children first which is something I've never seen anywhere else. And then they've made it exciting for the adults - normally it's the other way around." Yas Island was developed just 20 years ago for the purpose of tourism - and it's safe to say it achieved its goal. There are four theme parks on Yas Island, all of which Peter and his family had a look at, and there's one he'll never forget. Peter confessed: "The idea of Ferrari World scared me, I was quite anxious about going because I'm a bit scared of rollercoasters. "But Theo wasn't allowed on it because he was a bit short so he went 'dad, will you go on it for me?' How do I say no to that? "I was shaking leading up to it - but when I did it, it was the best buzz. I was on adrenaline for days. I've never been on anything so fast." Peter wasn't the only celebrity on Yas Island which he discovered when he visited the biggest water park in the world, Aquaventure World. Peter Andre as he opens up about life as a family of five and Junior and Princess on music and modelling 5 Peter told us. "This place was phenomenal, it really was. And at the same time we were we saw footballers, and Idris Elba. " Beyonce once did a concert at the Atlantis The Palm Hotel too." Atlantis, The Palm Hotel has also been visited by the likes of Paris Hilton, Naomi Campbell, Lily Allen, Robert De Niro, Antonio Banderas, Rita Ora, and Steve Aoki. While this was Peter's first time in Yas Island, he's no stranger to the UAE having been visiting since the early 90s, before it was developed. From the UK to Yas Island, you need to fly to Dubai and then the destination is an hours drive along the coast. Peter recently returned to Australia for the world premiere of his comedy film Jafaican, which will be out in UK cinemas on May 20, 2025. Peter plays Gazza, a small-time London crook who takes on a high-stakes con job to cover £35,000 bill for his grandmother's care home fees. Head to to see screening times and book tickets 5

Peter Andre, 52, says he feels 'very lucky' to have five children and confirms he won't have any more with wife Emily, 35 - as ex Katie Price, 46, reveals she's having baby number six
Peter Andre has revealed he and wife Emily have made the 'bittersweet' decision to not have any more children. The singer, 52, shares Amelia, 11, Theo, nine, and Arabella, 13 months, with Emily and he is also father to Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, with his ex Katie Price. Yet while Katie has revealed she is determined to add to her family, Peter confirmed that there are no plans to expand his brood, admitting on Giovanna Fletcher 's Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast that he feels 'very lucky' with his lot. Reflecting on Emily giving birth to their youngest child last year, he confessed: 'The last one was a completely different emotion. It was that emotion of—we... "Not reached your goal" is not exactly the right way to say it, but I think knowing... we knew it was it. 'And like you said, it was—it's a different feeling because it's almost a bittersweet moment. You know, it's beautiful because you've experienced it. 'I mean, how lucky—when I think of people that can't have children, you know, and I'm thinking, I've got to experience it that many times. So that's the first thing.' Peter continued: 'And then I'm thinking, I know we're never going to do this again. And that was a different... So I was a mess again, a complete mess. 'I mean, literally I am very lucky. And sometimes I take things for granted, and I don't realise I do.. 'You know, Emily had a real complication with Belle - And I don't know if she's ever talked about it, but the complications that happened after were very serious. 'And so we - you know, it was a very scary time as well. But it also confirmed that it's the last time.' The Mysterious Girl singer also reflected on the wide age gap between his children as he was asked how he juggles parenting teenagers with babies. Admitting he found it 'tough', Peter explained: 'When you have teenagers, you've always got that thought of, are they going to be rude and moody and this and that? I didn't find that. 'What I do find difficult is when they get partners. You either accept their partners... and I'm not speaking about them specifically, I'm just saying now what I've realised. If you don't accept their partners, you push them away. 'So that becomes a tricky time, because you hope they're going to find someone nice. 'And then I've got my rules... so I don't really like sleepovers... because I don't want my younger kids to think that you can just... If you have been with someone for a very long time, it might be different, but those rules are the rules. 'So when they've wanted to stay with their partners, I've been like, you can, but not here.' Peter's comments came as his ex-wife Katie revealed she has eggs donors lined up from women who look like her as she continues her bid to have a sixth child. The former glamour model, 46, went through a 'turbulent' IVF journey with former Carl Woods back in 2023, but was unsuccessful. Their treatment was documented in controversial show Katie Price: Making Babies earlier this year. However, despite her previous heartbreak, the mother-of-five is still pushing ahead with her dreams and told how she has everything she needs in place to welcome a baby. And speaking to Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast, Katie revealed that she acquired donor eggs last year and before meeting current boyfriend JJ Slater, 32, she was happy to have a baby 'on my own'. Opening up about her plans, she even hinted that the father of her baby might not even be the MAFS UK star's as she already has a sperm donor lined up, while she also remained vague as to whether the couple have considered having children together. Detailing her IVF battle and plans for the future, Katie shared: 'I had IVF and it failed because basically my eggs are too old. I gave it a go even though the doctors said you've got a 1 percent chance of that working, but I just said I might be that 1%. I'm doing it! I went through all of it and it didn't work. 'So I have got donor eggs, I got them last year. You don't see the picture but they go on how I look, like the dark hair, the green eyes, Spanish... because I've got like Italian/Spanish in me. 'And then because I'm not afraid to have a baby on my own, before I met JJ I was quite happy. I found a sperm donor from America, from black origin.' She went on to reveal that despite having a sperm donor lined up, if she 'met someone' who wanted a child, she'd be open to have one with them - but they'll 'never have the Pricey DNA.' Katie explained: 'Because I'm pre-menopause at the moment, I thought you can't have kids, but you can! I've been tested, I'm, all fine, I can still carry babies. So I have got the eggs there, I've got everything set up ready for when I want it. 'But then I think what if I met someone and then they want a baby. Obviously I'd have to say to them well obviously you can never have my eggs so you'll never have the Pricey DNA. You'll have the donor DNA, you can't have the Pricey, only five kids have got the Pricey one - there's no more! Although I can carry it, but it'll be their sperm. 'But I'm not in no rush. This is the thing, I'm in no rush to do any of this, I'm in no rush to get married. To be honest, do I want to get married again? I've been there so many times and it's the same thing, it's agg when you divorce, I don't feel... it'll be nice to get all married but is it important to me? No.' Katie is already mother to five children with previous partners and is now hoping to grow her brood again. As well as her children with Peter, the model is mum to Harvey, 22, with ex Dwight Yorke and Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, with ex-husband Kieran Hayler.
