Peter Andre has denied reports that he called his ex wife’s boyfriend a fag or a tranny during a recent row. The pair had an argument on the phone last week, after Peter couldn’t reach his children or their nanny. Alex accused Peter of using the derogatory phrases but the ‘Behind Closed Doors’ singer denies the allegations completely.

Speaking to New magazine, he has now insisted: “I’ve been accused of saying a lot of things to him that I can assure you I didn’t say, but I am human and being deprived of the chance to speak to my kids sent me over the edge.

“But I do not use words like ‘f*g’ or ‘tranny’. I know how offensive they are and I didn’t say them.”

On being apart from his children, Andre said: “The only thing that has got to me through the whole divorce is missing the kids. It’s torture.”
