They welcomed their second child together at the end of November.

But Peter Andre has revealed that his wife Emily MacDonagh is still recovering from her unplanned C-section with baby boy Theodore.

The proud dad writes in his latest column for New! Magazine that he's had to step up with the care of the couple's daughter Amelia, two.

New addition: Peter Andre has revealed that his wife Emily MacDonagh is still recovering from her unplanned C-section with baby boy Theodore 

The couple welcomed baby Theo on Novemer 22, but the birth didn't go to plan with Emily having to have an emergency cesarean because the baby was breech. 

In his new column Pete writes of his wife: 'She's recovering well but she can't do things like lift Mills, which I think is what Mills has found the hardest, so I've had to take on a much more prominent role at the moment with her.' 

The dad of four adds that the couple will have to put plans for more kids on the back burner for now, explaining: 

'I was asked if I'd like her to be pregnant again by the end of 2017, but I'd rather it be sooner. But she's just gone through a major op, so that's the last thing she's thinking about.'

Another boy: The couple welcomed baby Theo on Novemer 22, but the birth didn't go to plan with Emily having to have an emergency cesarean because the baby was breech 

While the birth was less than straightforward, the couple are now enjoying life with their new addition, and Peter has revealed he was keen to treat Emily to an extravagant 'push present.' 

'I wanted to buy Emily a present for giving me our beautiful son, so I bought her a diamond-encrusted Gucci watch,' the singer revealed. 'When I gave it to her, I told her, "You better love me now!"'  

Taking to Instagram on Christmas Day, the singer uploaded a snap of Theodore receiving a kiss from older brother Junior Savva – Peter’s 11-year old son with ex wife Katie Price. 

Captioning the image, he wrote: ‘T catching a kiss from J.’

Let's celebrate: Peter was joined by his loved ones for a colourful Hawaiian themed New Year’s Eve party in Emily's home county of Somerset

Speaking to OK! magazine about his love for little Theo, he said: 'I was bawling my eyes out at the birth – it was my dream to have another boy.’ 

He added: ‘I love him so much, he’s such a chilled baby. He’s my mini-me.’

Emily, 27, who is a doctor, revealed the birth did not go how she had hoped but said it was important for her to put the baby's health first.

She said: ‘I was so upset that I had to have a Caesarean, but it was too dangerous not to. 

Here's two I made earlier:  The singer is also a parent to son Junior Savva and daughter Princess Tiaamii with ex-wife Katie Price as well as daughter Amelia, two, with Emily
