In recent years, Junior has started to follow in his famous father's footsteps. He signed a music deal at the age of 16 and released his debut single, Slide, back in 2023.
During an appearance on Loose Women in 2022, Peter said that he made his son wait until he was 16 to sign a contract as it was the same age he was when he signed his own respective contract back in 1989.
When asked by panellist Coleen Nolan how Junior was getting on in his music career, Peter said: "I'm so proud of him, I wouldn't let him sign his deal until he was 16, which is exactly the same age [I was] when I signed my deal."
"I've actually got a picture of the two contracts, the one Junior signed at 16 and the contract I signed at 16. I should put that up one day," he added.
Bursting with pride, Peter was also quick to heap praise on his son when he performed his first ever gig. Following Junior's huge milestone in 2022, Peter shared on social media: "Beyond proud of your first ever gig son. So much more to come…".
He followed this up by adding: "Show: smashed, eardrums: burst, post-show maccies: munched."
