‘I think that’s why I spoke a lot more about mental health, because I wanted to be open and admit that things aren’t always great.

‘I like to think of myself as a positive person but, truthfully, I have found parts of this year quite hard.’

Peter went on to explain that while Arabella has brought him ‘so much joy’ he ‘can’t help but worry about his mother’.

He explained that he was planning a trip down under to visit both his parents.

Earlier this year, Peter made a heartbreaking admission as he struggled to cope.

In his column for New! Magazine, Peter said: ‘I can’t believe I’m nearly 51. I was worried as I approached 50, but I’m over that and I feel great.

‘I’m loving life and age is just a number. You can live life to the fullest at any age. I will be honest, though, the only thing that makes me sad about getting older is that my parents are too.’

Peter continued: ‘Although I thank God my parents are still here, I am seeing the rapid decline, especially in Mum. I find that part hard to deal with. Like most people, l’m so close to my parents that it is really difficult to come to terms with.’

The Mysterious Girl hitmaker has spoken in length about how it is ‘very tough and emotional’ to watch Thea’s health decline.

Peter has children Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, from his first marriage to Katie Price.

The hitmaker also has Amelia, 10, and Theo, seven, and Arabella, nine months, with Emily.

He married Emily in a lavish ceremony at Mamhead House in Exeter in 2015 after the pair met in 2010 through Emily’s surgeon father Ruaraidh MacDonagh.

Ruaraidh was Peter’s consultant during surgery for kidney stones in 2010 and, knowing she was a fan of his music, introduced her to him.

The pair developed a friendship but did not begin dating until summer 2012.
