Singer Peter Andre has revealed he doesn't let his children, son Junior and daughter Princess, log on to social media at his house.
The "Mysterious Girl" singer has taken an opposing stance to the kids' mother Katie Price, who has opened Instagram accounts for them, and when they stay with him and his new wife Emily MacDonagh they are not allowed to sign in to the photo sharing website, reported Female First.
Andre, who has two-year-old daughter Amelia with MacDonagh and another baby on the way, believes Junior, 11, and Princess, nine, are too young for Instagram and keeps them offline because he believes the platform opens up "all sorts of issues."
Writing in his column for New! magazine, he shared, "I have been asked how I feel about my kids having Instagram accounts. Everyone knows I don't allow them to have phones or social media at my house. I don't like kids having them because I think it opens them up to all sorts of issues."
Andre, however, respects Price's decision to allow them to use Instagram, despite users needing to be 13 to have accounts, when the kids are with her.
Talking about the need for "compromise" when you co-parent, the 43-year-old TV star said, "As a parent you have to compromise with the other parent and try to work together. I can only advise and encourage them - I can't do any more than that.
