Peter Andre has opened up about his parenting epiphany he had after hearing his daughter Princess chat with her brother.The singer, who was raised in a Jehovah's witness household, came to the realisation that being too strict would likely backfire.Speaking on the Netmum's podcast, he said: "I didn't want my kids to be restricted.

I learnt that lessons from my daughter, with Princess when Love Island was on and she was 14. I was like: 'You're not watching that.'"And she's like: 'But why dad, all my friends have.' I said: 'I don't care, that's their parents' choice.'"However, Peter later discovered that his 14-year-old daughter had found a way to watch the racy dating show behind his back.

He explained: "This was when it first started, when it first came out. And then one day I was in the other room and I heard her talking to Junior going: 'Yeah, I saw Love Island today at school.'"And I heard and I was like: 'What? ' And she was like: 'Yeah, we watched it on my friend's phone at lunchtime.

And at that time, the penny dropped."After being brought up with religion and restrictive practices, the Mysterious Girl singer knows all too well the importance of balance in giving freedom to his children.Jehovah's Witnesses follow strict guidelines forbidding premarital sex, drugs, alcohol, smoking, gambling, and receiving blood transfusions.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a
