Lucky for Peter Andre that he’s married a doctor – Emily’s medical skills could come in handy after a nasty accident the singer has had with his eyes.

Peter shared with fans that he thought he had been applying some eye drops, but it seems like a trip to the opticians might be in order as he missed the label telling him that he was actually pouring his wife’s eyelash growth serum onto his face.

Complaining that his eyes were burning, Peter uploaded a bloodshot snap to Instagram with the caption: “This is what happens when you think you’re using eye drops but you find out it’s you’re wife’s Eyelash growth serum.”

He was obviously still suffering a while later, as he added: “I really am a wally. Wifey looked after me I guess I should check the label next time proper burn.”

At least it looks like he might have a sweet treat to console himself with, as earlier in the day he had posted: “Look who I saw baking a cake this morn :))) Lucky me”, alongside a photo of pregnant Emily and two-year-old daughter Amelia mixing up some ingredients.
