Peter Andre on his parents’ declining health

“For me, it’s about seeing my mum and dad and the kids and Emily seeing them,” he said of travelling to see them. “That’s what it’s about, they’re getting very old now and it’s always an anxious time of year.

“I went to Australia earlier this year, I’m glad to be spending more time there because of my mum now. So, I try and go 3 or 4 times a year if I can now.”

He continued: “But there are no exact dates because of Emily’s work, you know when you work for the NHS you don’t just get to say oh ‘I’m gonna go away.’ We haven’t worked out the exact dates but we’re definitely gonna go between now and the end of January. If we go, we go as a family.”

The star recently opened up about facing a “bittersweet” Christmas.
