Peter Andre's wife Emily MacDonagh has been totally honest about motherhood and revealed she's feeling nervous about returning to work.

Emily welcomed her second child baby Theo into the world last November and has since been on maternity leave from her job as junior doctor, but has now admitted she's feeling nervous about returning to her day job.

The mum to Amelia, three and Theo eight-months and step-mum to Junior, 12 and Princess, 10 (from Peter Andre's former marriage to Katie Price) wrote on her OK! magazine column: "I am excited to go back to work but I’m a little nervous about juggling it with family life.

"Soon I’m going to be refreshing my knowledge. There’s no margin for error in my job so I want to feel prepared."

She then went on to reveal that she's going to enjoy the next few months of her time off before she heads back to work. She said: "What's making me feel better is that, when I went back eight months after having Millie, I found most things were ingrained in my mind.

"I’m so glad I’m having a bit more time off with Theo as I’m enjoying my time with him."

She added: "As I’m on maternity leave I’ve been taking advantage of being able to go away for a few weeks, as I know that won’t be the case when I go back to work in the next few months."

We've rarely seen photos of little Theo because Emily likes to keep her children off social media but Pete has managed to share a few pictures of his youngest children, although he has ended up in the doghouse because of it.

This isn't the first time Emily has been open about motherhood; she previously admitted she found it hard to make mummy friends and earlier this year decided to share a photo of herself feeding Theo to help normalise women breastfeeding.
