Andre's Sky interview sparks complaints

Peter Andre's tearful TV interview with Sky News anchor Kay Burley has sparked complaints to Ofcom.

The popstar broke down on Burley's Afternoon Live programme yesterday after the host asked him how he would feel if Katie Price's new husband Alex Reid wanted to adopt his children.

A spokesperson for Ofcom today told BBC News that it had received complaints over how the segment was handled.

However, the media regulator would not reveal how many people had been in contact and said that a decision over whether to launch an investigation had not yet been made.

Meanwhile, former tabloid editor Kelvin MacKenzie, who appeared on Sky News for the channel's newspaper review last night, said that viewers had also contacted the station itself to complain about the interview.

He told This Morning: "I know, because I was at Sky News last night, that they received a load of emails from their viewers saying that they didn't warm to that."

MacKenzie, who said that he has known Burley for "many years", added: "If Kay Burley could do it again, she definitely wouldn't do it again and I know Sky News fantastically well... and they wouldn't want it to happen either."
