Sky News presenter Kay Burley has admitted that she felt ‘mortified’ after Peter Andre broke down during an interview with her yesterday.

Peter cried after Kay played him a clip of Dwight Yorke criticising him for trying to adopt Harvey and then asked him if Alex Reid may try to take his children from him.

On her official blog the newsreader commented: “What a day. Peter Andre broke down on my show and when I went to check during an ad break that he was okay, he sobbed on my shoulder in the green room.

“He’d discovered not 12 hours earlier that the mother of two of his children had married without even bothering to tell him and was devastated at the very thought that she might want take the youngsters away from him.

“I was mortified at having upset such an obviously doting family man and was keen to offer sincere apologies, but he was his usual charming self. As we stood and chatted about parenthood he said he was relieved he’d finally vented some of the pent-up tension he’d been feeling and I sympathised but warned him not to ever cry in front of the children.”

She added: “Eventually calm was restored and Peter left the building wiser about news interviews and me very much with ‘Team Pete’.”
