Peter Andre admits his family still can’t talk about his brother’s death six years on

Peter Andre has spoken out about the death of his brother six years on in an emotional speech at a cancer fundraiser. Peter was left devastated by the death of his brother Andrew in 2012 after he passed away at age 52 following a 10-month battle with kidney cancer.

But six years after his death, Peter revealed that his family are still struggling to cope with his death - to the point that they can't even talk about it.

The 45-year-old bravely spoke out in an emotional speech at James Ingham's Jog On To Cancer event in London on Wednesday. He revealed that he became an ambassador for the charity following the death of Andrew.

Speaking to a national newspaper, Peter revealed his brother's cancer diagnosis was a major shock to everybody. He went on to reveal that if they'd detected the illness earlier, his brother's life would have been saved.

Revealing Andrew's death is still so 'raw', Peter admitted his family are still so devastated they find it hard to talk about it.

He also revealed that Cancer Research had approached Peter soon after Andrew's passing, asking whether he'd like to get involved with them - but he was too "angry at cancer" to begin with.

He said, "I said I wouldn’t support something that took my brother’s life," but that it was words from his brother Mike that spurred him on after he'd told him he'd "never get over it," so that he may as well "get on with it."

Well done, Pete. ❤️
