Peter Andre has spoken of his dismay at 16-year old daughter Princess beginning a relationship with her boyfriend.
The Mysterious Girl singer claims he is “struggling beyond belief” to come to terms with the fact the youngster is dating.
But Pete, 50, who shares Princess with his ex, Katie Price, said he hopes to treat her in the same way that he treated son Junior following a chat with his wife, Emily McDonagh.

And now, doting dad Peter has opened about her romance for the first time.
He told Woman magazine: “I’’m not happy about this at all. I’m struggling beyond belief, but that’s life. We’ve had many chats. I have very strict rules in my house.
“I had this rule that would never have a boyfriend until she was 38, and now she’s 16 and she’s talking about boys!”
But after Princess’ actions seemingly came 22 years prematurely, Pete sought female advice in the form of Emily.
He explained: “Emily really made me realise that I can’t treat her differently to how I treated Junior at that age. That’s where my old school mentality had to change. It took a while, but I’ve got there.”

Career wise, however, both Princess and Junior appear to be following in their famous parent’s footsteps – and Peter is totally behind it.
Princess, who has more than half a million followers on social media, has gone down the fashion route, and recently struck a deal with major brand PrettyLittleThing.
It means she will join the likes of Molly-Mae Hague and Gemma Owen, who have worked closely with the fashion retailer.
Junior, meanwhile has branched out into the music industry – with his debut single Slide topping the UK iTunes charts last year.

In May, he revealed he will be supporting Strictly Come Dancing star HRVY on his tour, with Pete declaring he “couldn’t be prouder” of his boy.
He wrote in his column for New! magazine: “Junior is performing at Bestival this year, as well as other shows. He’s going to be doing a lot more very soon too.
“It will be a great year for him and I couldn’t be prouder. He’s worked really hard and things are definitely falling into place for him.”
