Following their bitter split, Peter attempted to adopt Katie Price's son Harvey and in an unearthed clip, the Mysterious Girl singer was emotional about treating him well
Peter Andre welled up as he confessed his plans to adopt Katie Price 's son Harvey.
Mysterious Girl singer Peter, 51, has been going through a huge family ordeal as he admitted his mum was not doing well in a recent update. It comes after Peter welcomed his newest bundle of joy with darling wife Emily as they get ready for the holiday season.
But an old clip of Peter shortly following his bitter divorce from showbiz icon Katie Price has resurfaced, which showed the star tearing up as revealed plans to adopt Harvey and take him into his family. The footage was dated from 2010, shortly after the couple had split.

In the heartbreaking moment, which aired on Sky News at the time, the Aussie hunk became emotional when he spoke about his plans to take on Harvey, who suffers from a number of disabilities. He also blasted Harvey's estranged father Dwight Yorke after he made comments about the healthy environment Harvey would be brought into after their separation.
Dwight revealed in the clip: "I understand that he has to play a role, because that comes as part of the baggage when you get involved with Kate. But for him to say he was going to adopt my kid - and now look what’s happened four years down the road.
"Is he prepared to adopt Harvey at this stage? I don’t think so," Dwight said. "The onus falls back on the father, which is me in the first place, so that’s why it should not have been mentioned."
After being shown the clip by resident journalist Kay Burley, Pete slammed the claims made by Dwight, alleging that he had not seen his child since the interview was conducted. "The bottom line is this - I love that child alright, and I don’t care what anybody says, I love that child," he insisted, "I see that child."
But as the interview progressed, things became more tense when Kay pressed him for an answer on how he would react if Katie tried to adopt one the two kids they shared - Junior, 16 and Princess, 14. Fighting back tears, he hit back: "No one is going to take my kids away from me – nobody. I will fight to the death for that."
Clearly taken aback, host Kay apologised to both Peter and the viewers at home, but clarified that he would be seeing the clip of Dwight speaking about Harvey. She also insisted that he was told he would be asked about his own children, but apologised to Peter, saying: "We didn't mean to upset you."
Peter was due to go on the show to talk about an upcoming tour, but after being riled up, Peter was having none of it, saying: "I'd rather just stop this if that's alright." The intense interview was not comfortable to watch for viewers, with the interaction garnering 881 Ofcom complaints, many of whom accused Kay of "bullying" Peter; Sky News was later absolved of any wrongdoing.
