Not so evil step-mum
Peter Andre's beautiful wife Emily MacDonagh has spoken about life as step-mum to his two children from his former marriage with Katie Price.
Emily is mum to Amelia, four and Theo, one, with the reality TV and popstar, but sees herself more as a big sister than a step-mum when it comes to her relationship with Junior and Princess.
Writing in her OK! column the 28 year old said: "I think getting the balance right to being a step parent is crucial."
Emily clearly adores Pete's children from his former marriage, but is careful not to overstep the mark.
"For me I tend to leave the disciplining up to Pete and often I feel like a big sister, which works really well for us."

The junior doctor has always been refreshingly frank about life as a mum and recently spoke about her fears of returning to work after maternity leave.
She said: "I am excited to go back to work but I’m a little nervous about juggling it with family life."
Peter also recently posted a photo of his two daughters who are stepsisters with the caption: "Amelia won’t let Bista out of her sight. Sharing her bed as we speak. Too cute #sister"
Meanwhile, Katie Price has hinted at baby number six despite recent stories of her dramatic marriage with Kieran Hayler.
