Emily Andre shares photo of rarely seen son on his birthday as Peter left stranded abroad

TV doctor Emily Andre has shared a sweet tribute to her little boy Theo on his eighth birthday as husband Peter Andre shared his frustrations at being stranded abroad

Emily and Peter Andre have celebrated their rarely-seen son's eighth birthday and shared a sweet photo.

The doctor, 35, marked son Theo's big day with a sweet tribute on social media. Mum-of-three Emily posted a photo of Theo stood on a beach and looking out to the ocean. She wrote: "My gorgeous boy is 8 today. I actually can’t believe where the time has gone! Theo you are the kindest and loveliest boy we could ever ask for. Love you so much and happy birthday."

Emily and Peter are proud parents and share three children together - Amelia, 10, Theo and baby daughter Arabella, who was born in April. Mysterious Girl hitmaker Peter is also father for Princess, 17, and Junior, 19, who he shares with ex Katie Price. Just yesterday, Peter expressed his worry at getting home for Theo's birthday due to a delayed flight.

He said: “I never normally have a moan but I’m going to have a moan because I’m stuck at Larnaka airport. We’ve been filming all day. It’s Theo’s birthday in the morning, the flights have been cancelled. I’m not feeling well, it’s just like ‘oh my god’. So I don’t know what’s going to happen but there’s no flights back and I feel sick, but apart from that, everything’s fine." Peter has always seemed able to split his time evenly between his kids but admitted it has been a struggle since becoming a dad-of-five.

In an interview with New! Magazine, he candidly admitted that he was struggling with time management, especially after the birth of his youngest child. He openly said: "One thing that is really important is to treat all the kids equally and sometime I fail. Just today, I said to Theo, 'I want to apologise to you because yesterday you set up something in the play room and asked me to go in and I didn't'.

"These things are easy to forget because you are so busy but to them it means the world - I made up for it but that's not the point." Both Peter and Emily have decided to keep their children's faces off their social media accounts. They admitted they want to protect their kids and ensure they are not recognised at school.

During a YouTube video, Peter said: "So Emily's point is that they weren't born into the media - no one has ever seen their faces so she doesn't really want anyone to see their faces. So when they go to school no one can really recognise them at that." Emily rarely posts her children on social media, yet did give fans a look at their Halloween celebrations last month.

The family all carved pumpkins together in their kitchen. While their children's faces weren't on show, the couple shared their voices over the clip. Previously, Peter and Emily have covered their children's faces with emojis if sharing images to social media. Peter even revealed recently that he may never share a photo of their youngest Arabella due to the raise of AI (artificial intelligence).

"Like Millie and Theo, it’s unlikely Emily and I will show her face on social media. AI, for example, can be a scary thing in regard to stealing children’s identity and we don’t know enough about how these images can be used in future." Writing in his weekly OK! Magazine column, Peter added: "This didn't even seem possible when my older two were young."
