Of course, Pete went on to find love with doctor Emily, whom he married in July 2015. The loved-up couple share two children together – Amelia, six, and three-year-old Theo. Pete is also a father to 15-year-old Junior and 13-year-old Princess from his romance with Katie.

While Junior and Princess have stepped into the spotlight, Pete and Emily have made a conscious decision to protect their children’s privacy. But in May, the Australian singer caused a stir when he inadvertently showed Theo’s face for the first time on TV.

The mishap occurred while he was talking to the Loose Women panel from the family home, and little Theo came into shot. Taking to Instagram to share a screengrab of the TV moment, he remarked: "I'm sooo in the dog house. Hey accidents happen we are in lockdown... @loosewomen @itv."

Pete previously told Closer magazine: "Emily's one of those parents that doesn't want it, so I've got to respect that." He added: "I still get away with little things... There have been times where I've posted stuff and you can't really see the kids' faces... I post photos of them because I'm proud of them and of these beautiful moments but I also understand that not everyone wants that."
