Speaking about his 23-year-old fiancé, who gave birth to their first daughter last month, the 40-year-old admitted to the Sunday People:
“I rang her dad to ask for permission. It was not a big thing. You have got to know your partner. She told me not to make it predictable. I panicked and it was New Year’s Eve. You have to ask the father for permission.
“I woke up New Year’s Eve and thought “This is it”. I had the ring made months ago and I kept it in the safe and when I woke up I thought “I am going to do it now”.
“I asked her dad a few times for a chat or a coffee but it never happened...I think he knew what I was going to ask.
“Me and her dad are great friends. I called him at work and said “Please can I have your permission?” and he was like “Permission for what?” and I told him she was in the other room and that I had to do it now.
"I am clumsy and I could not do it right”
“He asked what I was talking about. He said “Of course” and he played it down and he told his wife that I was going to propose. It was perfect. I got down on one knee but I wobbled a bit. I got down on two knees. I am clumsy and I could not do it right.”
The couple are still deciding on a name for their first-born daughter, and have settled on ‘Bister’s sister’, referring to Peter Andre’s daughter Princess.
Pete is father to 8-year-old Junior and 6-year-old Princess from his marriage to Katie Price.
Katie, 35, gave birth to baby Jett with new husband Kieran Hayler last August.
The model took to Twitter over the weekend accusing Pete of not seeing stepson Harvey for two years.
