Peter Andre's eldest child Junior is gearing up to celebrate his 19th birthday next week.
Even though Junior's big day isn't until June 13, Peter has already hinted at a few surprises in store for the special occasion. Peter shared: "Junior turns 19 next week. OMG! Of course I have lined up a little surprise for him. The older Junior gets, the more he loves thoughtful gifts, rather than typical presents. Junior and Princess come as a pair these days, so we'll probably all have a big family dinner together."
However, beyond the gifts and celebrations, what makes the Mysterious Girl singer most proud is the person Junior has grown into. But, as Peter explained, it hasn't always been smooth sailing, as Junior is just like any other teenager.
The father of five added: "I'm just so proud of the person he has become he's so polite and really cares about everyone. Don't get me wrong, like any 18 or 19-year-old, things aren't always perfect but Junior's using these years to decide what the future holds for him.", reports OK!.
Last year, when Junior celebrated his milestone 18th birthday, he jetted off to Ibiza with his friends and shared several photos on Instagram, including one where he posed alongside Wayne Lineker.

Junior Andre expressed his heartfelt gratitude on social media, stating: "I just want to say a massive thank you to you all for the Birthday Wishes and thank you everyone who continues to support me. I'm so excited to see what the future holds and I can't wait for you to hear my new music! ...this week? ".
Before heading off to Ibiza, Junior received some fatherly advice from Peter Andre, which the pop star discussed during his chat on Vicky Pattison's podcast, Vicky Pattison: The Secret To.
Peter recalled the moment he dropped Junior off at the airport, sharing: "I remembered what I was like at 18. And I was like, you know what? He's gonna have the time of his life. He's sensible enough to know. He's gonna drink, he's gonna have fun."
He continued, revealing the advice he gave his son: "But I just said to him, my exact words to him were: 'What do you think I'm going to say to you? He said: 'Yes, Dad, stay away from the drugs'. I said: 'That's all I'm saying to you. That's it.'".
