Peter Andre Shares Guilt Over Parenting Struggles

has shared his sympathies with after the TV chef opened up about his parenting regrets in his recent documentary Being Gordon Ramsay. 

The star admitted he felt at times he prioritised work over being there for his four eldest children; daughter Megan, 27, twins Holly and Jack 26, and Tilly, 24.

And the Mysterious Girl hitmaker revealed he also has 'guilt' from being away from his children as he confessed: 'I struggle with it and I fully understand how Gordon feels.' 

Peter shares his two eldest children Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, with , and his youngest three Millie, 12, Theo, nine, and Arabella, one, with his wife Emily. 

Writing in his weekly column in New Magazine he related to the struggle between work and home life balance. 

He penned: 'A big part of me wants to be out there providing for my family - that's the main reason I work. I also love what I do of course. But the other part of me wants to be with them all the time. It's a difficult juggle. 

'My mum and dad worked full-time, as most parents do, but you do start to feel that guilt because life is short and you want to spend time with those you love.' 

Like Peter, Gordon is also determined to be around for his two youngest children; Oscar, six, and Jesse, two. 

In 1998, Ramsay opened his own restaurant in Chelsea and it went on to gain three Michelin stars in 2001, making history as the first Scot to achieve that feat.

But as his success soared, it meant he couldn't be around as much at home with his wife Tana and their children.

He said in the doc: 'I absolutely adore the kids. There's part of that love and affection that has built up through guilt.

'The older ones have made it clear and say, "Can we see you more?" and, "Dad, we miss you." I feel I could have been there a bit more.'

He says:' I'll make more time because I don't want them to say, "You weren't there for my first day at school".'

'Everyone thinks travelling is glamorous. But it's super full-on. Being away from home is tough. I want that time to go as quickly as possible. It's the little ones I miss. It's hard. I miss them terribly.'

While Peter's eldest two children have grown up in the spotlight, he and Emily have chosen to keep their little ones out of the public eye as much as possible.
