Peter Andre breaks down on TV

The morning when the news broke of Katie's marriage to Alex Reid, Peter managed to shrug it off in a radio interview saying that all he cared about was the kiddies.

But by that evening, Pete still on the promotion trail for his new album of love songs, had a TV interview lined up.

When pushed about what kind of role he thought Alex would play in his kids lives now that he has married their mother, Pete started to crack.

He asked to cut the interview short as he fought back the tears saying, "Nobody is going to take my kids away from me."

The Sky News interview started well but it was when the presenter played a clip he had never seen of Dwight Yorke, Harvey's biological father, talking about Pete's request to adopt Harvey, that things turned sour.

Dwight said that the request to adopt was 'disrespectful'.

Dwight has famously had very little to do with Harvey, and so Pete was angered by the comment saying, "I asked to adopt him because I love him, not to be disrespectful. That angers me a little bit."

The presenter then cruelly asked how Pete would feel were the tables turned and Alex tried to adopt Princess, Junior and Harvey now that he's married Katie.

This is were Pete became visibly upset saying, "No one is going to take my kids away from me. And I will fight to the death for that."

After a moment Pete then said of the interview, "I'd rather just stop this if that's alright."

Poor Peter, he perhaps hadn't had enough time to let the marriage sink in and before he knew it he was facing a barrage of questions on live TV.

Has nobody noticed how controlling Pete is. All he ever wanted to do was to change Katie. He was fully aware that she was Jordan (it was not a secret) he should have accepted her completely. If he thinks wants a GOOD woman chained to the kitchen sink then he should have looked elsewhere. AND he divorced her so she is free to marry and at lease Alex is happy with every part of her. Maybe his head games have backfired... Now he is in Dwights shoes. I think his bleating on about kids is wierd, U dont hear Katie bleating on, all u have to do is watch her with the kids to see she is a great mum dealing with a difficult situation. Pete wont be much without her, hes not really good at music lets face it, he should have curbed his jealousy of her fame!!! Katie stop injecting yourself so much, I think Pete made you as insecure as he is. Your kids Alex will love however you look...

i understand pete is upset about the children but he didnt want to get back with katie so knowing her background it doesnt come as any big suprise if peter had any real feelings left for katie he could have suggested counselling on the basis of maybe getting back together god knows how all this affects the children katie should grow up but peter hasnt really got anything to be upset about just to make sure he is there for his kids

Peter must be feeling how so many fathers do. Some things should not be up for public discussion or questioning whether there famous or not!...Never know if we left Kate alone for a while che may act sane!
