This week Pete revealed his traumatic experiences as a child have caused him to be protective towards Junior, Princess, Amelia and Theo, who are all under 13.

The Mysterious Girl singer, 44, admitted that he was badly bullied as a child, which has resulted him in banning his own youngsters from using social media in a bid to shield them from trolls.

Opening up in a candid interview with The Mirror, Peter revealed he regularly suffered physical violence from other children growing up.

‘The bullying I went through wasn’t like someone calling you names. I was beaten up pretty bad. I couldn’t talk to my parents about my bullying because I never had that kind of relationship and I didn’t want to worry them,’ he remembered.

‘I don’t let Princess or Junior go on social media or things like that yet. I am very strict, I don’t allow it in the house at all,’ he added.

Admitting that he is often ‘worried sick’ about what his children may be going through, he added: ‘I worry about cyber bullying – all these things kids are going through, worrying about what they look like, worrying about what someone is saying about them.

Peter is dad to Junior, 12, and Princess, 10, with ex Katie Price and Amelia, three, and Theo, 11 months, with wife Emily MacDonagh.

The singer has often been outspoken about his strict parenting style, which stands in stark contrast to his ex wife Katie’s more relaxed parenting style.  

In September Katie gave a candid interview about her divorce from Peter back in 2009 after two children and just over four years of marriage.  

According to The Sun, a reflective Katie told the audience she was ‘obsessed’ with Peter from the moment she met him on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004.

The outspoken star – who is going through a rocky face with third husband Kieran Hayler after she discovered he had been having an affair for the second time – didn’t hold back when it came to discussing her feelings for Peter during an intimate Q&A with fans. 

‘I never had a relationship quite like that before,’ she revealed of Peter. ‘He was the love of my life, I never wanted to split up with him but we did and that’s that.’

Katie has never made any secret of the fact she desperately wanted to fight to save her marriage, blaming Peter for walking away.

In a statement at the time of their separation, she said: ‘Pete is the love of my life and my life. We have children together and I am devastated and disappointed by his decision to separate and divorce me, as I married him for life.

‘This is not what I want and the decision has been taken out of my hands.’  

Along with Junior and Princess, Katie has children Harvey, 15 – from a previous relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke – and Jett, four, and Bunny, three, with Kieran.
