Digitalspy reports that the singer, who split from Price last year, admitted that he did not know the pair were planning to wed and insisted that he is only concerned about the welfare of his children.

"I've thought about this all of this morning and I thought as long as they're a positive influence on my kids that's all I care about. If they're happy great, it's none of my business," he told Chris Moyles on BBC Radio 1.

"I didn't know anything about it. I haven't spoke to her. I do speak to her, you have to speak to each other because you have kids and you have to keep things up for them."

Later in the interview, Moyles said to Andre: "I think the marriage is madness. In the circus that is Katie Price's life as long as the kids are alright that's all you should care about."

The 36-year-old replied: "That's exactly what I think. Bottom line is I love those kids, they're my entire life, maybe I'm over-protective of them. But as long as they're looked after that's all I care about."

Andre has two children - Junior, 4, and 2-year-old Princess Tiaamii - with Price, and is stepfather to her 7-year-old son Harvey
