PETER Andre has revealed how he feels about his son Junior leaving the family home to go and live with his girlfriend. The 20-year-old has made the big decision to get a place with Jasmine, 24, after dating for nearly two years. 4 4 He's not straying too far from home though, with dad Pete, 52, telling us: "Junior's moving on. He's only up the road, can't have him too far. "I've told him I want you to invite us for dinner.' And he's already got a warning for his son: 'He's good at cooking. He's learned a few dishes. But he's on repeat. "He keeps repeating the same dishes. I'm like, 'bro, you've got to work on some new recipes…' Proud Pete, who was chatting to The Sun as he promoted his new film Jafaican, added: 'But yeah, he's a good boy. They're both... they're all good kids.' Junior and Jasmine, who started dating in April of last year, might be ready to move in together, but marriage isn't on the cards just yet. When asked about if wedding bells were in the near or distant future, Junior laughed: "Well, that's looking a bit too far ahead! Easy there.' Junior added to OK!: "We're young and not putting any pressure on ourselves, that's all that matters. "We want to travel and do amazing things. "But we're with each other, aren't we? I don't think we'd be with each other if we didn't feel like we'd found the right person," he went on.

Emotional Peter Andre reveals strict rule for Princess and Junior saying they ‘kicked off for two days' about it
PETER Andre has revealed a strict house rule for his children Princess and Junior - saying they "kicked off for two days" about it. The singer-songwriter, 52, spoke exclusively to The Sun at the Parliamentary screening of Fabio D'Andrea's short film, Another Way, which warns of dangers of teen smartphone use. 11 11 During the Wednesday interview, he opened up about how he keeps his kids safe on social media in an age where views and likes are at the forefront. The TV personality, who's dad to Junior, 20, Princess, 18, Amelia, 11, Theo, eight, and 15-month-old Arabella, said he's banned his kids from using their mobile phones at the dinner table. He admitted this proved challenging, especially with Junior and Princess boasting a combined 1.3million Instagram followers. He told us: "It's really interesting about my oldest two having been quite popular on social media. And I remember that when social media first started, we had no clue. "It just looked like a bit of fun. It was again, that kind of, that nice little imagery of this really fun thing, being on your phone and you could play games and you could do all this "And it lures you in. And now, you know, both my kids' jobs, it's about your interactions. It's about your followers. It's about brands." Peter explained that he's implemented certain boundaries in his home to ensure his children can enjoy family time screen-free. "They want to talk to you about seeing how much interaction you have. So we're in this real pickle now. And of course we didn't know that at the time," the singer continued. "And I say to my daughter, we have a rule at home anyway, "When we sit at the table for dinner, there's no phones, there's no TVs. Peter Andre opens up on bullying and racism he's suffered after being forced to delete his 'racist' Jamaican gangster movie trailer "At first they rolled their eyes, they kicked off. That lasted all of two days. They never said anything since. "So I think there are things we can do, even little things. that'll just, once you put it in place, they'll follow it. You know, you put a speed limit, everyone kicks off about it, but eventually they do it." Lord John Nash and Joe Powell MP hosted the screening of award-winning composer, pianist and director Fabio's musical masterpiece, which stars Peter. The event aimed to raise awareness of the dangers of teenage smartphone use, by illustrating the devastating impact of bullying and youth suicide. In the film, Peter portrays Jack, the devastated father of a teenage boy, Josh, who takes his own life after being bullied at school. The harrowing opening scenes see his son in the family bathroom, with blood covering his face and body. Peter arrives home and is immediately called upstairs where he sees the heartbreaking incident unfold, with his wife Tash cuddling their son in her arms. He grabs hold of his child and starts sobbing before being seen in another room with tears in his eyes. Later scenes indicate Josh passed away. Following the presentation, which also saw actress Sophie Winkleman and Reform UK Deputy Leader, Richard Tice, in attendance, Peter discussed how he struggles to keep up with the changing world of social media. He said: "I do feel very out of depth on how to protect these kids from their phones because I know how trapped I am in the usage of phones and how I always used to use the example, you can't sit there having a cigarette telling your kid never to smoke. And I remember one of my friends used to say, 'Dad said if he ever catches me with a cigarette, he'll kill me.' And his dad was a chain smoker! And I thought, 'But how can you not?'" The pop star admitted change comes from individuals making a collective decision and a conscious effort to reduce the use of social media. But he insisted bigger change must come in Parliament. 11 11 11 Peter continued: "You're seeing it. And then I find myself in that situation. I'm expecting my kids to be off social media and to be, and I'm doing it. So I'm now trying to make a conscious effort. "And I think that it's about this balance. It's really difficult as a parent to do it. And I think you can't do it on your own. We need the help." The actor, who is married to GP Emily Andre, added: "My wife's a strong, strong part of saying to me, hun, why don't we just put our phones down? And I'm like, you're absolutely right. So that's why we need help. That's why we can't just say, oh, just, you know, just ask, just tell your kids. "You can't have a phone or just tell your kids, it's not that easy. We need backup. We need the government help. We need the schools' help. "We need everybody's help collectively so that the kids go, well, this must be bad because no one's letting us use it. Do you know what I mean?" Fabio is now hopeful that an amendment to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill will be made, banning social media before the age of 16. He said: "I'm really confident we're gonna see change. It's amazing to have the MP Joe Powell here from Labour and Lord Nash from the Conservatives. It's all sides coming together. "So there's something happening and there's a movement bubbling in this country. People wanna see change." Fabio added: "As a composer in the 21st century, I think it's really important to address social issues in my work, because that's what composers in the past used to do. Keeping kids safe online Charities including the NSPCC have provided guidance about online child safety. Their website explains: "Talking regularly with your child can help keep them safe online. "Making it part of daily conversation, like you would about their day at school, will help your child feel relaxed." You can find more advice from the NSPCC on their website. The NSPCC recommends that children should have multiple people they can confide in, for example: An adult family member A teacher Calling Childline on 0800 1111 "So I really wanted to tackle the issue of smartphones and how it affects the younger generation, because I think we're dealing with a first generation who's grown up having to navigate how they use social media, how they use their smartphones. "And we don't really know the full effects of what's happening right now on the younger generation. So I thought it was really important to address this in the film." Fabio has released a series of short films highlighting key social issues. He's collaborated with a number of famous faces, with Love Should Not Hurt featuring Spice Girls ' Mel B. Actor Russell Tovey also stars in Something Left to Love, which raises awareness of mental health. Watch Fabio D'Andrea's Another Way here. 11 11 11
