Peter Andre: 'Burley hit a raw nerve'

Peter Andre has admitted that Kay Burley "hit a raw nerve" when she interviewed him on Sky News last week.

The popstar broke down during a live appearance on Burley's Afternoon Live programme after the host started quizzing him about his children.

Andre's emotional moment came just hours after the announcement that his ex-wife Katie Price had married cage fighter Alex Reid in Las Vegas.

Writing in his New magazine column, the singer explained: "Many people jumped to the wrong conclusion and thought I was crying because Kate has married Alex Reid, 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."

He added: "The whole interview left me feeling very down and afterwards I just went straight home to be with the kids."
