Peter Andre: My first day at school I went dressed as The Fonz

Pete's excited about writing stories for children

Peter Andre likes the idea of being an author

Peter Andre is currently in the middle of a UK book signing tour for his new kids' books.

He's proud to be a children's novelist and uses his own experiences to help him with plots.

Kids Junior, 6, and Princess, 4 - and big brother Harvey, 9 - love hearing his tales - and he's flattered a publisher asked him to start scribbling away.

'I feel good that I get these chances really,' says Pete, 38.

'On the reality show that I did, people saw how I like to make up stories for the kids and I love doing that.

'It'd be too predictable to make it about my children so I thought why don't I make it about me, and my brother Michael and sister Debbie - that way I can incorporate my childhood and also the experiences I'm having with my kids now.'

Princess startd school this week and Pete understands how important it is for children to get approval from their peers. 

'I remember my first day at school - I went dressed as The Fonz! It's true - I went in a leather jacket, a white T-shirt, and blue jeans,' he revealed on This Morning.

'I wanted to be The Fonz at school, I thought that was a really cool thing. And I remember how I felt that day, it was all about acceptance - and obviously I wasn't because I was dressed as The Fonz, but that's not the point!

'I know how kids feel about their first day of school or their first birthday parties, and I just think it's a great little idea.'
