Peter Andre has revealed that eldest son Junior is ‘at that age’ where his parents are cramping his style
Taking to his weekly column for New! magazine, the dad-of-four explained that now that he was officially a stroppy teenager, Junior’s enthusiasm for spending time with his family is wearing thin.
“Now that Junior’s a teenage, he’s too cool to come to the farm with his dad, so he stayed with a mate,” he said, talking about a recent family outing to a friend’s farm in Taunton, Somerset.

It must be even harder to appease his ‘too cool for school’ son now that Junior and younger sister Princess, 11, have moved in with dad and his wife Emily.
The two of them have been living with Pete’s family, including younger half siblings Amelia and Theo, since the start of the summer, when the couple decided to take on responsibility for the kids so mum Katie Price could concentrate on her financial and health concerns.
But despite Junior’s alleged (and let’s face it, pretty typical) teenaged stroppiness, the new family set up seems to be a lot of fun. Pete’s been uploading plenty of funny family videos recently, including one where his kids have ‘taken over’ his home gym, and another where a mild-tempered Junior pokes fun at his dad's grey hairs, asking “are you stressing, Dad?”.

The move to their dad’s place must have been bitter-sweet for Katie, who is struggling under the pressure of her drink driving arrest and apparent impending bankruptcy.
Katie makes no secret of the fact that she hates being away from her kids, and during her recent stay in a rehab facility for PTSD she was reportedly on the phone to them ‘all day, every day’.
