Peter Andre a proud dad

London, July 30 (IANS) Singer Peter Andre's seven-year-old son Junior has developed a keen interest in reading, which has made his father very proud.

"I am so chuffed as Junior has become a total bookworm in the last few weeks. He just loves reading and always has his head in a book, which is very nice to see," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Andre as saying.

Andre's five-year-old daughter Princess has also started improving her word skills, learning how to send text messages.

"Princess, on the other hand, is putting all her energy into learning how to text! I was away overnight recently and when I woke up in the morning, I had about 18 texts from Magda, my brother Andrew's wife."

"She's the kids' nanny so I immediately panicked, but soon realised all the texts were from Princess! She hasn't quite worked out her spacing yet but they're so sweet. One said, 'I...Love. you. Daddy'," said the 39-year-old.
