Peter Andre's wife Emily has revealed that last Christmas for the family was horrendous as baby Theo was seriously ill in hospital.
Theo, who was born last November, had to be hospitalised after his parents found him struggling to breathe.
The poor little mite was rushed to hospital where they discovered he had contracted bronchitis - he was kept in an oxygen chamber after his weight dropping from 6lbs 10oz to 5lb 7oz in just three days.

Writing in her column for OK! Magazine, Emily revealed that it had been hard for her to open up about the terrifying situation.
She wrote: "It was tough for me to speak about at the time but now he’s a chubby cherub and is right as rain, I feel fine to talk about it.
"He was struggling a bit with his breathing so needed oxygen in hospital."
She added that they were "really looking forward" to Christmas this year, adding: "Last year Theo was so miserable and he wasn’t well at all."

There'll be the added joy of Junior and Princess with them this year, as Peter also revealed to OK! Magazine that he and ex-wife Katie Price have a good system in place for dealing with Christmas.
Their children, Junior and Princess, alternate each year between having Christmas with one parent and New Year with the other, before swapping for the next year.
He said: "It's fair. It's wonderful that all the children are going to be with us in our new home for Christmas."
