It's no secret that Katie Price is having a bit of a rough time at the moment. Her marriage to Kieran Hayler is well and truly over, her mum is battling a terminal disease - and she's facing bankruptcy.

Whilst she sorts herself out, her two children with first husband Peter Andre - Princess Tiamii and Junior - are staying with their dad, his wife Emily and their children, Amelia and Theo.

However, with all the recent press about their mum Katie, it seems as though Peter has a bit of a job on his hands keeping Princess and Junior away from the headlines - but as they will have inevitably seen stories about their mum online, he's having to field their questions.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Peter revealed how he's managing their curiosities, "I’m dealing with everything that’s going on at the moment, but I think it’s very important to deal with these things privately and I’m doing so.

"Making sure my kids are protected and away from any negativity is my main priority. I try to be as honest as I can be, but I do try and find a way to divert it. I just want to keep the kids protected."

Peter also took the opportunity to gush over his wife, Emily, saying that she was such a good stepmother to Princess and Junior that they even call her Mary Poppins.

He said, "Emily’s unbelievable. She’s really good at answering questions from a medical point of view, whereas I might find some questions tricky.

"Emily did all the orders for their uniforms and she got her tape measure out and did all the children's measurements. She’s awesome, she puts all the labels in their clothes – she’s very practical, but I took them to try clothes on and that was a fun day. We’re very hands-on."
