Peter Andre has said Christmas can be “bittersweet” as he reflected on an emotional time as a family.
The singer lost his brother Andrew in December 2012 from kidney cancer and this year marks a decade since his death.
Peter, 49, said the fact it’s been 10 years is “almost mind-blowing” as he opened up about Christmas this year.

Singer Peter Andre’s brother
Peter has opened up about his beloved brother Andrew on a few occasions.
Last year, Peter shared an emotional tribute to mark the anniversary of Andrew’s death. It was nine years since his passing last December.
It’s almost mind-blowing knowing it’s been a whole decade. Of course we will be with him on this sad anniversary.
He said on Instagram at the time: “Not a moment goes by I don’t miss you my brother.”
This also isn’t the first time Peter has opened up about Christmas this year.
Earlier this month, he revealed his eldest kids Junior, 17, and Princess, 15, won’t be receiving gifts.

Pete explained that his kids have plans to travel to Australia in December instead.
The star said that they’re all heading to Oz to be with his family. However, they’ll go before and return to the UK for Christmas Day.
He wrote in his new! magazine column: “Junior and Princess have said they don’t want anything for Christmas. They said: ‘You’re taking us to Australia to see our grandparents, that’s our Christmas present.’
“I love that about them – but they need to tell me at least one thing! We’re heading to Australia before Christmas and then we’ll be back in the UK for Christmas Day.”
He added: “I moved to Australia when I was six, so it’s really special that Theo will be seeing Oz for the first time at the same age I did.”
Peter shares Junior and Princess with his ex-wife Katie Price.
