A proud father-to-be! Peter Andre caresses his girlfriend’s growing baby bump at Pride Of Britain Awards
He is awaiting the birth of his first child with his girlfriend next year.
And Peter Andre looked every inch the excited father-to-be as he caressed Emily MacDonagh’s baby bump as the couple attended the Pride Of Britain Awards.
The star announced in July that medical student Emily, 23, was expecting, but this is the first time that she has shown off a sizable bump.

Emily looked stunning on the red carpet, wearing a beaded gold floor-length dress with her hair in an elegant braided bun.
She added an envelope-style black clutch bag and black peep-toe heels to complete her classically glamorous look.
Meanwhile Peter, 40, is already a father to Junior, eight, and Princess, six, with his former wife Katie Price.

Earlier this month the singer surprised fans when he spoke on his reality show about not being sure about wanting any more kids.
But he subsequently clarified his comments and explained that he couldn’t be happier about Emily’s pregnancy.
He told new! magazine: ‘On a recent episode of My Life you might have seen me debating with my brother Mike over whether or not I’d want to become a dad again. Obviously, we had the conversation before I knew Emily was pregnant.’

He went on: ‘But at that stage, I wasn’t sure. Situations change all the time and you don’t necessarily plan how things are going to work out. But I couldn’t be happier to have another baby on the way.’
The TV presenter also revealed that he will be present for the baby’s birth, adding: ‘I wouldn’t miss the birth of my child for anything! I think it’s important for dads to be present and to hold their partner’s hand.’
He also told Yahoo! that Emily was coping well with pregnancy, saying: ‘She’s got everything covered when it comes to the pregnancy – she’s amazing. She just knows what she’s doing.’
