Peter Andre explains TV breakdown

Peter Andre cried on TV after being confronted by his "worst nightmare".

The singer – who broke down while being interviewed by Sky News presenter Kay Burley on the day it was revealed his ex-wife Katie Price had married Alex Reid – insists he lost control of his emotions when forced to consider the possibility the cage fighter would want to take on the care of his children Junior, four, and Princess Tiaamii, two, in the same way he looked after Harvey, Katie's seven-year-old son from a previous relationship with soccer star Dwight Yorke.

He explained: "Many people jumped to the wrong conclusion and thought I was crying because Katie has married Alex, but nothing could be further from the truth.
I was crying because after showing me some footage of Dwight Yorke saying how disrespectful it was of me to want to adopt Harvey, Kay asked me how I'd feel if Alex wanted to adopt my children. I really wasn't expecting her to go down this route and I admit it completely threw me. My kids are my life and the thought of someone taking them away from me is my worst nightmare. She really hit a raw nerve and I just lost my composure.

"The whole interview left me feeling very down and afterwards I just went straight home to be with the kids."
While the 'Behind Closed Doors' hitmaker was shocked by the interview, he insists he wasn't surprised when he heard Katie and Alex had married.

Writing in his column for new! magazine, he added: "I didn't know about the wedding beforehand, but I wasn't surprised when it happened. So, I know it sounds a bit weird, but I was more shocked when Michael Jackson died than I was about this."
