Peter Andre's wife Emily revealed their parenting "strengths" on Loose Women.
Appearing on the ITV panel programme on Monday, the NHS doctor opened up about her parenting ahead of welcoming baby number three. It'll be Pete's fifth child as he shares 18-year-old Junior and 16-year-old Princess with ex-wife Katie Price and two children with Emily, nine-year-old Amelia and six-year-old son Theo.
It was only last month that Emily and Pete said they were "delighted" their kids we "so excited" for the new addition, and Emily spoke more about their parenting styles in her latest TV appearance alongside the star-studded hosts.

The couple announced the baby news in October (PA)After being asked if the two manage their "teamwork", Emily admitted: "Yeah, we try to because, you know, it's remembering another thing on top of everything else isn't it?" She made the comment after the panel joked they'll have one more set of teeth to brush in the mornings with their little ones Amelia and Theo.
Emily added: "So yeah we do try and remind each other. But I also think in a, you know, within parents, you've each got your strengths and you've just got to work together, do you best, that's all you can do isn't it."

Peter shared the happy baby news in October with an adorable photo of the pair. Posting a photo of himself and Emily, 34, holding scans of their baby, he wrote on Instagram : "We are delighted to share the news with you all. A new addition to our family in 2024. The kids are so excited. So are we."
Among the friends and celebrities to congratulate the couple was ex-wife Katie's ex-husband Kieran Hayler, who also shares two children with the former glamour model. Sharing a heart emoji, he wrote simply: "Congratulations."
James Jordan also commented: "Such amazing news my friend - family is everything." While Catherine Tyldesley wrote: "Oh guys!!! How gorgeous!!!! Huge congratulations xxx." Alex Beresford commented: "Congratulations guys." While Lizzie Cundy wrote: "What !! Another ?? Wow !!! Huge congratulations darlings!!!!"
It comes a year after Peter said that he and Emily were open to the idea of having another child, telling OK!: "We do talk about it all the time, but one minute we’re a “yes” and the next we’re a “no”. We love the idea of having one more child, because the two we have together are the most amazing kids – but that thought usually lasts until we see other people with screaming babies! I don’t know.
"Maybe Junior will be bringing our grandchild to visit in the next 10 years." However, just 12 months prior the pair had ruled out another baby as "there aren’t enough hours in the day" to balance the four they currently have. While Peter said simply 'hell no', Emily explained: "I love babies, don’t get me wrong. But I was watching Millie talking yesterday with Theo and I thought 'If I have a baby, it will be so hard to do this'."
"And I think actually the other kids would end up missing out a bit. So, for me, it’s just lovely how it is now. I love giving them all my focus and attention. I just don’t think the dynamic is right for a baby at the moment."
Emily and Peter married at Mamhead House in Exeter in 2015 after first becoming friends five years prior when their families met. The pair went on to date in 2012, with Peter getting down on one knee just a few years later.
