Peter Overton's sweet teen moment
Peter Overton has revealed a sweet moment he shared with his 15-year-old daughter when taking her to school.
Speaking with Nova's Fitzy and Wippa, the news presenter told how dropping Allegra at school made for a sweet father-daughter moment.
"I walked in with her, but I made sure I walked about 789 metres behind her and her friend. But when we got to the school gate, she turned around and said 'I love you Dad' and gave me a real hug," the Nine News journalist said.
"And that's a 15 year old going into year nine. So last night I got home from work I said 'that takes real character Allegra, in front of your friends at 15 to just say I love you dad and give me a hug and a kiss'. So that made my week."
Last week, Peter's wife Jess Rowe told Now To Love she was feeling anxious about sending bother daughter, Allegra and 11-year-old Giselle, back to school after two years of on-and -off remote learning.
"What I'm excited about, and a little bit nervous too on their behalf, is getting them back into that school environment," the mum-of-two shared.
"For so many kids it has been so difficult, they've adapted so much … but they've really missed that connection, and there's nothing quite like learning in classroom face to face."
As Giselle starts her high school career, Jess said her and Pete are excited for their daughter's new journey.
"That's a massive thing for her and for us. And I know she's ready, but she is anxious, she's got the butterflies," Jess said.
