to think people are really naive to feel sorry for Peter Andre and not realise it was probably a total set up?

That question about his kids Kay asked was almost certainly run past his agent a few times...

It gave him carte blanche to shed a few 'tears' and get max coverage AND get people to feel sorry for him. Kerchiing!

After the marriage Pete's management would've been desperate to wheel him out for some extra sympathy. He couldn't say he was upset over Katie, so the kids were his next best bet.

And it's worked hasn't it ?!

If you watch the K&P show closely you'd see Pete is by far and away not an innocent party. He could be v emotionally abusive and in RL is apparently not v nice either. Also he often sanctimoniously says: 'I don't want to slag off the mother of my children...' before launching into her on film and in print.

He is definitely NOT the nice guy in all this. Incredible that people can't see it.

When his 15 extra post marriage minutes are over he'll be back to being seen as the perma-tanned strumpet that he is...

Yes, suggesting Reid would adopt his children just because his marriage had broken down was ridiculous! He's never not been a good dad. SOme people think he's a media whore but he loves his kids. I can't stand my x, but I'd feel sorry for him if somebody suggested to him that some new fella I'd hooked up with might adopt them. And hate him though I do, i'd feel really sorry if somebody put that to him on tv he's an arsehole my x, but he's an arsehole who for all his faults does love his kids. I bet even Jordan if she had a beating heart would have thought Kay Burley went too far.

But HE wanted to adopt Harvey. Isnt that why she asked the question? How would HE feel if KP's new squeeze fancied playing daddy to his kids?

Harvey has a dad too. The more I find out about this set up the less likely I am to believe all that stuff about Harvey's dad being the total loser KP made him out to be.

All this setting up as a happy family so soon after meeting - lets get rid of the birth dad - he spoils the picuture for OK magazine.

These people are tossers. They treat marraige and parenting like another commodity.

TEAM I DON'T GIVE A SHIT

but harveys real father wasn't around and wasn't parenting, so when peter volunteered to adopt him the role of harvey's dad was vacant. so it's different.

chegirlsgotheartburn · 04/02/2010 18:21

I dont agree. We on have Ms Price's word that he was a crap dad. I dont like the guy much but according to him she has made it v.difficult to see him regularly.

There are loads of fathers who dont live with their children, should every new partner of their mother offer to adopt them?

I bloody hate the way a big show is made of how Andre 'took on' KP's disabled child. Oh how farking noble of him.

I don't think it was noble of him. But many guys would have run a mile. And he went above and beyond the call of duty in caring for the boy.

And by the sounds of it, KP is issuing restrictions on Peter's access to Harvey as well.

I totally agree with people who say that PA is a manipulative little so and so.

The very few programmes I watched I thought he was a nasty piece of work. I imagine he must have been a nightmare to live with.

She is a pretty damaged person as well, I think, is strangely cold and unemotional. But after being married to him for that amount of time I can imagine why - she is probably like that as a form of self defence.

Sod it, I don't much care tbh, but PA has played the media game very well hasn't he. And I think he is now afraid that his particular gravy train has come to a halt.

He's playing the game, as is KB. Do you seriously think the media would be interested in doing any interviews with Peter Andre if it was just about his album? No one gives a shit about his music career, but the media knows people are desperate for the next chapter in the KP saga. There is no way he would have been able to plug his new album on Sky without answering Q's about Jordan and the kids. They are his meal ticket.

Frankly feeling sorry for someone who has hawked his kids around the papers/ trashy mags for a few quid, offered up his wedding, sex life etc to the highest bidder doesn't desrve your sympathy.
