Peter Andre's wife Emily MacDonagh has revealed the couple give their children 50p to do chores around the house.
The doctor and self-confessed 'stingy' mother-of-two gives her children Amelia (Millie), 12, and Theo, eight, £1 per week in pocket money.
Emily, 34, who is also mother to one-year-old Arabella with Peter, 53, said if the kids want any more than that, they have to get to work.
Speaking in an Instagram video, she said: 'You might have seen a video I did recently where Millie was doing some chores for me and Pete and earning a bit of extra pocket money.
'There were some really great comments on the video. I asked people, 'what do you do with your kids?', 'how do you do pocket money?, 'do you make them do chores?' and I got some really great responses, so I thought I'd make a video about it again and just see what everyone thinks.
'The kids have their own bank accounts and they have a little card that they're able to spend, and they get £1 a week from me and Pete that goes into their bank account.
'And then any extra money they want to have they get through chores.
'So, you know, they might help me unload the dishwasher. I think I'm a bit stingy, by the way - I’m gonna just caveat with that - because for unloading the dishwasher I would do like 50p.
'To make their bed, 50p. Put their clothes away, probably 50p. Jobs that are a bit bigger, that will take them more time, maybe £1.'
Emily added she actually thinks kids should help around the house without getting any pocket money, saying that's what it was like for her growing up.
She said: 'I'm really torn between teaching them that you shouldn't always get paid to help out your parents, but also wanting to give them that reward.
'And they love having that bit of spending money, you know, when they go to the shops.
'I also like to keep them grounded and not give them extortionate amounts of pocket money, because when they go out to the shops, they're really proud of themselves, and they kind of know the value of money, to buy something for maybe £2 or £3, they can see what's gone into it to get that money.
'So that's how I think of it, but I think I might be a bit stingy and a bit mean... so let me know what you think.'
Emily's Instagram followers largely agreed with her with some saying they either do the same with their children or they wished they had.
One wrote: 'Not harsh at all, I think it teaches them the value of money. I do exactly the same with mine.'
Others added: 'They will eventually thank you for holding those values - trust me!'... 'Perfect parenting guys keep up.'
'I so wished that I would have done that with my kids. You are a great mum.'
It comes after Peter's daughter Princess Andre told how her dad's relationship with her step-mum Emily has given her hope that 'true love does work', after being left with her 'guard up' from witnessing all her mother's many failed romances.
The reality star, 18, broke her silence on her mother Katie's whirlwind marriage after the former glamour model, 47, announced she'd tied the knot with so-called businessman Lee Andrews in Dubai last month, just days after they met.
While Princess has remained tight-lipped on Katie's fourth wedding until now, she was reported to be 'completely horrified' and 'deeply concerned' by the news, in the wake of a number of outrageous exposés about Lee's work and relationships.
In an interview this month, the teenager revealed she was yet to meet her new step dad, but said that while her mum was 'crazy', she's happy if Katie's happy.
However, in the new series of her reality show, The Princess Diaries, the aspiring model made a point to declare that she had never been afraid to tell her parents if she had suspicions about someone close to them.
Princess candidly explained how growing up seeing Katie's tumultuous love life first-hand - which has included four marriages and nine engagements - has made her very guarded.
'I've seen first-hand what heartbreak can look like, and my mum is the prime example,' she says in one episode, according to The Sun.'
But while her mother's past has made her wary when it comes to dating, she sweetly said that seeing her dad's relationship with his wife Emily MacDonagh - with whom he shares children Millie, 12, Theo, nine, and Arabella, one - gives her hope.
She added: 'Because of that, my guard is up. But obviously, I see my dad and Emily and think true love does work.'
Princess went on to explain that she didn't want to be expecting the worst out of people because of what she'd seen Katie go through, but insisted that she was still 'switched-on' and ready to tell her parents if she disliked someone.
She said: 'It's the worst way to live your life, thinking that [people are going to use you]. You can't always be thinking of the negatives, but you have to be prepared.
'I'm quite switched on, even when it comes to my parents' friends. I'll tell Mum and Dad: "Hmm, I don't like that person." I tell them if I'm suspicious of anyone around them.'
