Instead of dressing as a fictional character, Frankie and Wayne Bridge's son chose his real-life superhero Jason Fox, also known as Foxy on SAS: Who Dares Wins. Tagging Foxy in the Instagram Stories photo, Frankie wrote: "Ready for action," as she proudly showed off her son's khaki military uniform, complete with a matching hat and backpack.

Peter Andre's wife Emily revealed Amelia and Theo's homemade outfits. Speaking about their "hectic" morning, she explained: "Millie designed her own outfit and went as Lottie Brooks (any parent of a tween girl probably knows all about these books - they are fab!) and Theo opted for an old classic."
