Kay Burley: 'Pete sobbed on my shoulder'

Friday 05 February 2010

TV presenter Kay Burley has revealed how Peter Andre broke down crying in the green room after the cameras stopped rolling during the now infamous Sky News interview.

Kay, who has been branded as 'insensitive' for quizzing doting dad Pete on the future of his children with Katie Price now that she has re-married, said she was 'mortified' by the incident.

The 49-year-old reduced the Aussie singer to tears when she suggested Jordan's new husband may want to adopt his children with the glamour model.

Pete, who only found out about his ex' wedding hours before the interview, asked for the live programme to be stopped as he struggled to contain his emotions.

Kay wrote on her official blog: '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.

The Sky presenter insists that she is resolutely on 'Team Pete', as the channel faces an investigation by media regulator Ofcom after viewers complained about the interview.

Kay Burley is a witch! Why can't she keep that kind of information private? She deserves some kind of punishment for her ugliness inside and out!

Yes, it's disgusting, she should not have raised this. Pete is such a caring and sensitive man, he is absolutely devoted to his children and rightly so. Jordan and Alex should be taken out of the 'limelight' I think they are abhorrent. I am definitely on Team Pete and would love a chance to meet him and many others would too. Mo

Yes, she is disgusting, she should never have asked Pete about this, he is a very sensitive and caring man and obviously his children are very precious to him and rightly so, Jordan and Alex should be taken out of the 'limelight' they are abhorrent. I am definitely on Team Pete and would love a chance to meet him as many others would too. Mo

Kay Burley was totally out of order in her questioning. She came across as heartless. I don't know who she thinks she is, but she's horrible and a rubbish interviewer too. I won't watch her again.

If she was "mortified" for reducing Peter to tears then why the hell is she still shouting her big, insensitive mouth off?
Has she learned nothing?

If she were that bothered about what she did she would have kept this private she knows how the public feel and she prob saw this as a chance to rectify what happened

RE: Kay Burley: 'Pete sobbed on my shoulder'

If there were that many complaints and Ofcom are investigating, then Kay Burley has to try and salvage both herself and Sky for their total insensitivity!! Not only hadn't Pete not been told about the wedding until 12 hours before but he was on the show to discuss the launch of his new cd (which looks good by the way) - by discussing Jordan and not Pete's promo Kay Burley and Sky permitted that ho and her new hubby to obliterate Pete's p.r leaving the news once more about the vile Jordan and new hubby Alex!!!
She probably did apologise to Pete, he may have been a gentleman about it but that doesn't her question should be forgiven! I don't even know if it is legally possible to adopt another man's childen without his consent seeing he is living and a permanent fixture in their lives! The question was made viciously to get a reaction from a man who everyone knows loves his kids more than anything in the world - she got a reaction, now she has to shut her mouth and accept the backlash!! No more leaked "How I comforted Pete" stories to try and make her look better!!

I Agree with Emerald. Kay is such a bitch! How could she sit there knowing she was upsetting him and carry on. Shame on her.

I think peter needs to keep out of thepublic eye when it comes to his personal life and should make an agreement with TV companies that they are only to discuss his career when making interviews. His life has been made a media circus by the witch who snared him all those years ago and now he is paying the price so to speak. Is he is not to be further dragged down that road of reid & price game then he needs to stop doing interviews, letting the paps get their piece and writing silly articles. Leave that all to Jordan as thats what shes best at and makes a bigger fool of herself in the process. Those kids dont deserve this pass the parcel life they are having they are at critical years now and need to be showed that they can have a normal upbringing and love and care they deserve. Pete should get full custody of the kids as by now he has proven that hes the only capable one of making that life as normal as it should be.

RE: Kay Burley: 'Pete sobbed on my shoulder'

Joz, That's all very well saying he should keep out of the public eye interview wise but since his new cd is out the record company insist that he does interviews and talk shows etc to promote the record! However, one point you made is a good one - Pete, his agent and lawyers could insist with the interviewer/network/media outlet that their questions remain specifically to do with his career and not Jordan and Alex!! I do feel Kay Burley ambushed Peter Andre with questions she had no business asking when everyone with a living braincell would have known he would be upset!!
If Pete just steps out of the limelight Jordan gets exactly what she wants, if anyone needs to step out of the limelight it's Jordan and Alex! Pete's singing career is back on track and he's more popular than ever, why should he step back now hm?! It's what would happen if he refused to do interviews, he needs p.r too!! I agree Pete should get full custody of the kids, but there's been talk now that Jordan has allegedly intimated that possibly, maybe, well she'll think about adopting an orphan from Haiti!! She can't look after the 3 kids she's got! She may have said it jokingly while in the US but puhlease someone protect the kids from her now! Allegedly Alex has a low sperm count and isn't sure if he can father kids (who the hell would admit to it?) and that's how adoption came up - nice use of Haiti for more p.r don't you think?!

RE: Kay Burley: 'Pete sobbed on my shoulder'

Jordan is arguably one of the most vile women on the planet!! All she cares about is fame and money! Pete would give those children a much better, more stable upbringing than she ever could! I always used to think it was a joke how this woman could win celebrity mum of the year and finally everyone now sees what I have seen for years!! Also, Kay Burley must have been so pleased by the publicity she got from that interview only it has blown up in her stupid, insensitive face!! I cant believe she has the gall to go blabbing about how she comforted Pete when it was partly her who upset him in the first place! I would laugh if she got the boot...hind sight can be a wonderful thing eh Kay!!
