Peter Andre's wife Emily MacDonagh has revealed that she finds motherhood "lonely"

Emily MacDonagh, the wife of Peter Andre, has opened up in her new column for OK! about her feelings of loneliness since having children.

The 27-year-old, who married Peter, 44, in 2015, admitted that she had "struggled" to make friends in their current hometown in West Sussex.

Emily, who is mum to Amelia, three, and six-month-old Theo with Peter, revealed that the family were planning to move away from the area soon.

She wrote: "Once we move house, I'm going to make a real effort to make some new mum friends, as that's what I'm lacking in our current area."

Bless her - it can be so hard to make new friends if you're not sure where to start!

The junior doctor also went on to praise Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, for speaking out about the issue.

Emily wrote: "A few weeks ago, HRH the Duchess of Cambridge spoke about how motherhood can be lonely sometimes, and I completely agree.

"It’s reassuring to hear that someone like that feels the same, and you can see how it could contribute to postnatal depression."

Emily recently confessed that she felt overwhelming "guilt" for not noticing baby Theo had ankyloglossia - more commonly known as a tongue tie.

Speaking to OK!, she said: "I didn't pick up on it and I'm a doctor. I felt guilty, I should have looked in his mouth and thought about tongue-tie.

"When they're yours you don't look at them as a patient. Pete and I were both crying when Theo had his operation. It was really traumatic."

Thankfully, little Theo is completely fine now.
