Peter Andre has explained why he refuses to let the boyfriend of his 16-year-old daughter, Princess, sleep over at their house when he comes to visit.
If you were in a relationship when you were 16, chances are you'll remember wanting to be with that person for pretty much every second of the day, no matter what.
As a result I'm sure a lot of people will have broken rules in an attempt to spend time with the then-love of their life - much to their parents' dismay.

But with two teenagers under his roof, Andre has made sure to lay down the law.
The 'Mysterious Girl' singer shares two teenage children, 18-year-old Junior and 16-year-old Princess, with his ex Katie Price.
He also shares two younger children, Amelia, nine, and Theo, six, with his wife Emily, who he married in 2015.
Princess revealed she was in a relationship earlier this year, but in an interview with the MailOnline, Andre discussed the rules he has in place for when partners come to visit.
"Any parenting tips or rules are only as good as they are in your house," he said. "My rules in my house are very straightforward. Everyone knows them, it's not even a question.

"With boyfriends or girlfriends, it's downstairs, doors are open and it's daytime."
Though Princess might be allowed a sleepover 'down the line', at the moment her visits with her boyfriend are limited to daytime hours.
When the time comes, Andre said one member of the couple can 'sleep downstairs'.
Explaining the reasons behind his rules, Andre said: "We have younger children too and you don't want them seeing things.
"If the relationship ends and then you bring someone else in, it doesn't look right and as far as the little kids are concerned it's always 'a friend is over'.

"I have strict rules when it comes to that but like I said, downstairs, doors open and daytime."
Though Andre has very much made clear that he's in charge, there's no escaping the fact his kids are growing up as this week Princess received her GCSE results, which she opened with her dad live on Instagram.
The 16-year-old is already signed to PrettyLittleThing and has done a number of photoshoots as a model with the brand, but she decided to share the results of her school exams with her 657,000 followers after picking up the envelope containing her grades from her school.
