Peter Andre, 51 - whose wife Emily is 34 - defends age gap romances after Kym Marsh, 48, clapped back at trolls over criticism for dating a 29-year-old


Peter Andre defended age gap romances as he appeared on Tuesday's episode of Lorraine on ITV.

The couple, who met in a Lancashire pub, separated in 1999, shortly before Kym found fame as a contestant on TV talent show Popstars, where she would become a member of short-lived pop group Hear'Say. Two years later Kym was making an appearance on Top Of The Pops when she crossed paths with actor Jack Ryder, a household name at the time thanks to his role as Jamie Mitchell in EastEnders. They had been together for less than two months when Kym fell pregnant with their first child, but tragedy struck when their son Archie Jay died moments after being born 18-weeks premature on February 11.
