Peter Andre appeared on Sky News yesterday to promote his new album but the interview took a drastic turn when Peter was asked about his ex’s new husband Alex Reid possibly adopting his children.

With Peter’s ex-wife of less than a year Katie Price marrying her new boy toy and Celebrity Big Brother winner Alex Reid, the interview that Peter did for Sky News focused more on his relationships and his kids rather than his new album.

When he was asked about the wedding, he replied, “You know what I’m going to celebrate tonight? I’m gonna go home, I’m gonna cook my kids a nice meal, and I couldn’t care less. And I’m so sorry, I’m not being bitter.”

Peter also had to defend his position on wanting to adopt Katie’s son Harvey, He explained, “I asked to adopt him because I love him, I didn’t ask to adopt him to be disrespectful. When you love a child…he’s in my life, he calls me dad. I never said I’m his father, but I’m so proud to have him in my life. And it angers me - it angers me when people turn around - when I get a comment like that. Why is that disrespectful because I ask to look after someone’s child? I thought that was a good thing, I thought that’s what we’re supposed to do in this world. I don’t understand that.”

Then, the interview went very sour as Sky News presenter Kay Burley asked Peter about Alex Reid possibly adopting his two children, Junior, 4, and Princess, 2. Peter replied, “No one is going to take my kids away from me, nobody. Nobody is going to take my kids away from me and I will fight to the death for that.”

Not long after that Peter broke down and stopped the interview.

Some people are labeling Kay Burley as “insensitive” now but she says that she was “mortified” by the singer’s break down and that there is no bad blood between her and Peter. She even admits that she is on “team Pete.”

Burley also revealed on her blog that she apologized to Peter and he of course accepted her apology as he had only learned Katie and Alex had married a few hours before taping the show.

Peter and Katie split up back in May of last year after 4 years of marriage. Katie and Alex have been dating since meeting at a party in July.
