Junior Andre attended the Butterfly Ball in London on Friday night and fans couldn't help but notice that he was flying solo.
The budding rapper, 18, attended the event without his 'Mysterious Girl' singer dad Peter Andre, 51, and his wife Dr Emily Andre, 34, as his pregnant stepmum is just days away from her due date.

Junior attended the Butterfly Ball which raises funds for Caudwell Children, the charity founded by entrepreneur and philanthropist John Caudwell to make life fair for disabled and autistic children by providing vital autism assessments, specialised equipment, and life skills training to young neurodivergent people.

Junior is also a big brother to Katie Price's son Jett, nine, and daughter Bunny, nine, from her third marriage to Kieran Hayler, as well as being a doting older sibling to Peter and Emily's children, Amelia, ten, and Theo, seven.
The new brother-to-be also spoke to HELLO! about how his dad Peter and stepmum are coping ahead of the birth. "Emily is great. She's handling it so well," Junior said. "I can’t imagine carrying a baby for that long."
He added: "My dad is excited he's going to be a dad again. It just brings us all back to reality."

Peter and Emily jetted off to the UAE with their two children, with Emily sharing a beachside bump photo that was captioned: "Such a lovely break and now back home, missing the sea and sand already but counting down the next 3 months to meet our little one."
