My week with Pete
TO celebrate CelebXS turning one, Mr PETER ANDRE invited me to spend the week with him. And what a week it turned out to be . . .
On Wednesday, the Andre clan (and me) were about to head to a Christmas event at a Disney store when he got the call from his ex-wife JORDAN telling him her son Harvey was in hospital.
"All the horrible stuff in the last six months meant nothing at that moment," Peter told me during an eXSclusive chat later in the week. "As soon as I heard what hospital he was staying in I told you, 'I have to go.' I even left you holding Junior! I didn't think twice, no parent would.
"I went to the hospital and spent a few hours there but didn't stay the night. They let us stay longer than you're allowed."
Pete's brilliant and emotional new single Unconditional (available for download today) is all about his relationship with Harvey. And he explained that talk with Jordan was confined to Harvey's welfare: "When it comes to your children, you don't think of anything else and I'm sure she didn't. It was amicable, we just spoke about the kids."
And this week Pete also proved he's ready to have a good time again, which I've been urging him to do for ages. Pete even hinted he may have had a cheeky SNOG!
"I had a bit of a laugh," he winked. "I may have, I may not have. I am free to have fun."
Pete is now preparing to go on tour again and the good news is he's prepared to show just a little bit of his new buff bod.
He said: "There will be some flesh - I'll recreate the image of Mysterious Girl for that song."

it took me a long time to like you pete, i was a fan of both you and you ex wife. however her attitude and behavour since you left has left me dumbfounded, as a mother of 3 just what morals is she showing her children, my daughter found herself a single mother with 2 small boys, (she is only young herself) as jordan keeps to try to justify her behavour. You keep doing what your doing Pete you are a fantastic father and your children need some 1 to look up to. love heath & happiness pete, hope harvey recovers soon xx

Hey Pete,
Come back to the States! It wasn't YOU who we didn't like but back then you were part of a package deal.
Hope to see you soon! x

How anyone with a sane mind should think you are better off with Jordan is unbelievable. She has shown over many years that she is vile, horrible, bitchy and has constantly been bitching to peter throughout his marraige, its amazing he actually put up with her. she may be beautiful on the outside but she is evil on the inside. He is a fab dad and deserves someone to love him properly and support everything he does, not drive a stake through his heart every week in the media.

hi pete,
plain and simple
im not going to go on about your private life just want you to know your a good man and father and good luck with everything you do in your life.
By t. Posted November 8 2009 at 11:40 AM.
Pete your starting to grate on me. Dont get too big for your boots mate. Your albums only in the top ten because of the sympathy vote (just like x factor)!! I truely believe you knew you were ending it with Katie waaay back but kept it together until you were realising your album as you knew the publicity would help. Dont think you knew just how much though but it just goes to show that this country is more interested in peoples private life & silly games than actual talent. Which is so sad!!
By Gail Hamilton. Posted November 8 2009 at 10:40 AM.
Love ya Pete x x x x
By Emma. Posted November 8 2009 at 10:18 AM.

What a star-and I don't just mean that from the celebrity angle. He drops everything and goes straight to hospital to see a child that is not biologically or legally his. That shows the character of the man. What a great and true Dad he is.
By Bob in Reading. Posted November 8 2009 at 4:15 AM.
Pete i love all of your music but the one about lovely Harvey makes me cry every time , Thats one special song .
Its just so sad she doesn't allow you to spend more time with him.
Pete Harvey will miss you just as much.
By margie. Posted November 8 2009 at 3:04 AM.
Just get back together and stop being so selfish the pair of ya!! think of your kids? plus poor Harvey don't need this again after kate split with Dwight his Dad. She anit that bad, shes a good business women with a good head on her well some of the time??? Better the Devil you know, Pete Plus its Getting close to Christmas. sorry i'm only being honest cause i wish you both the best...
