Junior Andre breaks his silence on baby sibling’s gender as he says ‘it will prepare me for fatherhood’
JUNIOR Andre has broken his silence on his baby sibling's gender while revealing becoming a brother again will prepare him for fatherhood.
When Junior's dad Peter, 50, and his wife Emily, 34, announced they were expecting again last October, many of their fans were left shocked.
And their eldest child, 18, was no exception - revealing in a new interview that his expanding family is a "crazy" concept.
He told : "Well I'm going to be one of eight now, which is crazy, I'm going to be a big brother again.
"Obviously, I'm going to be like 19 years older, so I'm going to treat it as if it's my child. It's going to prepare me for fatherhood but yeah I'm very excited."
Junior added of the baby's gender: "I don't know what it's going to be, a boy or a girl, but either way I'm going to love it so much, I can't wait.

"But I'm not changing any nappies though, but honestly, I can't wait - it's like a restart on life again. We've got a new baby sibling, it's crazy."
Junior was speaking at an exclusive preview to this year's Butterfly Ball, held at Billionaire Entrepreneur, Business Leader and Philanthropist John Caudwell's Mayfair mansion, in aid of his charity Caudwell Children.
Meanwhile, Peter recently opened up about becoming a dad for the fifth time and confessed it's given him a "new lease of life".
He told magazine: "It goes without saying that the moment I’m most excited about in 2024 is meeting our newest bundle of joy.

He already shares Amelia, nine, and six-year-old Theo with doctor Emily, as well as Princess, 16, from his first marriage to Katie Price.
Peter and Emily chose to share the big news for the first time via Instagram, sharing a snap holding up their baby scans.
He wrote at the time: "We are delighted to share the news with you all. A new addition to our family in 2024.
"The kids are so excited. So are we."
