Peter Andre and Emily MacDonagh’s four-year-old daughter Amelia had her first day at school last week!

Doctor Emily, 28, opened up about the “emotional” experience in her latest OK! magazine column.

Emily, who married Pete in 2015, said Amelia was “really shy” when she first met her teacher.

She said: “Last week Millie had her first day at school. It went really well. I felt quite emotional the night before and I gave her a big hug when I put her to bed.

“I said to Pete, ‘Our baby is going to school tomorrow, I can’t believe it!'”

Emily said Amelia’s new school is “lovely” and only “walking distance” from their house.

She added that Amelia has always been a shy toddler and the “thought of big school seems to be bringing it back again”.

Emily went on to gush about her mini-me, saying she will be “proud” of whatever she does when she’s older.

Emily and Pete, 45, are parents to daughter Amelia and son Theo, one, while Pete is also dad to kids Junior, 13, and Princess, 10, from his marriage to ex-wife Katie Price.

While Pete often shares photos and videos of Junior and Princess, he tends to keep Amelia and Theo out of the spotlight.

And if he does share pics or videos, the pair usually have their face covered.

He previously told Closer magazine he’d love to share more images of Amelia and Theo but respects Emily’s wishes to keep them away from the showbiz world.

However, when it comes to Junior and Princess, Pete does his best to keep fans updated with their achievements.

Just last month, Emily opened up about being a step-mum to Pete’s eldest children.

She wrote in her OK! magazine column that she feels like their “big sister”.

The mum-of-two said: “I think getting the balance right as a step-parent is crucial. For me, I tend to leave the disciplining up to Pete and often feel like a big sister, which works really well for us.

“Coming into their lives taught me a bit about how to be a mum because they’re so wonderful.

“I’ve always said to Pete, ‘If you can help me to parent Millie and Theo so they turn out like Junior and Princess then I’ll be very happy.'”
