Singer and reality television star Peter Andre has said that he broke down during an interview on Sky News last week because presenter Kay Burley "hit a raw nerve".
Andre asked to stop the live interview after becoming emotional when questioned about his children.
Writing in his column in New magazine, he said: "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."
"The whole interview left me feeling very down and afterwards I just went straight home to be with the kids."
