Peter Andre Keeps Bedside Vigil For Sick Brother

Posted: 26/03/2012 11:02 Updated: 26/03/2012 11:16   WENN

A devastated Peter Andre is keeping a bedside vigil for his cancer-stricken brother after he was rushed to hospital with a blood clot in his lung.

Andrew Andre has flown over from Australia to stay at his brother's Surrey home and undergo treatment in the UK.

He was due to start chemotherapy next week, but took a turn for the worse and was driven to a nearby hospital at the weekend.

A source told The Sun: "Pete's been in a state all weekend. They found a clot on Andrew's lung and it's not looking good."

Caring Peter has even extended his home to accommodate his brother and visiting friends and family.

Before Andrew's move to England, Peter revealed to New! magazine: "At the moment, my brother Andrew is recovering from his operations for his cancer, and the big news is in a couple of weeks he's moving over to live with me with his wife Magda.

"They're going to live with me and my other brothers Mike, Danny and Chris in my house and we're going to look after him while he has treatment."

He added: "I'm going to build a small extension onto my house so there's room for everyone! It's not definite they're all going to move in, but at the moment that's the plan. I need an extension so that when I've got the kids there will be room for all of us."

My mothers friend has terminal cancer.
He is not newsworthy so will die quietly surrounded by friends and family.

andre obviously not a nice person using his sick brother to get himself publicity
02:05 PM on 03/27/2012
what a dreadful thing to say. I hope you are never in the position of a loved one dying.

I haven't read this article because I refuse to. I think it is sickening that I keep seeing headlines of Andres brothers plight, which sounds a serious, terminal illness and yet Andre uses his own brothers demise to promote himself in the media.
It is utterly sick, I hope Andre can live with himself, he should be utterly ashamed and embarassed. The problem is, people like him don't feel any of these emotions if it gets their names in the media, regardless of who has to suffer and that can include a brothers death apparently. Sickening, utterly sickening.

I agree with everything 100% andre will do anything to get publicity. And I hope he got planning permission for the extension on his house

Andre thrives on any publicity that he can get.This is a very personal situation that would normally be conducted in private.It is Andre himself who talked about it to the press and I don`t here him telling them to butt out.Modern day celebrity status is a bight on society.What has this man ever done to be classed as a celebrity ?

i like peter and i think he is genuinely worried for his brother.he is a decant person...its the paps that do this to celebs.
07:26 AM on 03/27/2012
Which planet are you on, if Andre and all these other none entities didn't have photographers following them round, they wouldn't have a living, they'd have to go and get a proper job like the rest of us.
I wouldn't call someone using a brother with a terminal illness as an instrument to promote yourself a decent person. He is sick.

you are obviously jealous of petes wealth and looks Brun and forgot how it feels when your loosing someone you love dearly
07:27 AM on 03/27/2012
The only thing he is worried about is how he will get himself in the media next week.

In reference to anfieldgirl comment - he is in the public eye only because people like you seem to need such people in the ''public eye''. For my part I - and you in reality - would not ever be any different if we had never ever heard of or seen the guy - that much importance has he. It gives you something to talk about - and the process of analysing crap comments from people gives me something to occupy my mind while I am relaxing for 10 minutes from actually doing work.
20 hours working a day does tend to give you a slightly different take on things. And the analysis of what some people - like this waster - get paid for nothing vastly tips the balance against the value of normal working people.

Death of a parent happens to 250 million people every minute. It is always devastating to each person who experiences it, but only the sick minded publish the fact to gain advertising and perhaps money from it.
11:33 PM on 03/26/2012
Absolutly......it's being used as advertising. There will be a single out soon...in "aid" of cancer, minus costs of course.
01:52 AM on 03/27/2012
Oh Yes!!
11:36 PM on 03/26/2012
theres only 7 billion people on the planet or thereabouts. with 250 million dying every minuete as you suggest there would be no one left in half an hour.if you take away the million and leave just 250 that would be more realistic and acceptable but certainly not the numbers you are suggesting
12:25 AM on 03/27/2012
where did you find those statistics loadofbst...as your name suggests that's what youre spouting!
01:51 AM on 03/27/2012
I dont know how many minuetes there are in an aeon amanicon. Perhaps not enough for those needing to be making money out of news of ill relatives instead of doing something useful for money and for society.
10:47 PM on 03/26/2012
i bet he's really annoyed that this private story was leaked to the press.
11:34 PM on 03/26/2012
Absolutly alangraha05. I bet those banners and signs they put up, "peter andre's sick brother with cancer this way" really annoyed him.

Many people will understand what Pete is going through, cancer is a terrible condition. Pete, anyone with any compassion will offer a prayer for your brother and for all your family. God bless.
07:58 AM on 03/27/2012
Thank goodness normdoug....... there are some decent and compasionate people on here

I have lost loved ones through cancer and it's not only terrible for the loved one that has cancer it's also devastating for the family to watch their loved one go through it but andre is spouting off to the paps every chance he gets to get himself publicity and the sympathy vote by saying i'm going to build an extension on my house and bring my brother and his wife to live with me while he's ill all, part of what he's doing might be in part for his brother but to me it says hey, look at me aren't i good, i'm doing this and i'm doing that etc, if it's not for publicity then he shouldn't open his mouth to the paps
10:28 PM on 03/26/2012
His brother is a British citizen and Pete has stated that he (his brother) will be getting his treatment privately and I think Pete will probably pay more in taxes than most of the decriers on this site so his family using the NHS should not be a problem. What is wrong with the majority of Brits do they no longer have any compassion . I wish I had been in a position to help finacially when my mother was dying of cancer a battle she lost at 52 years old.
10:11 PM on 03/26/2012
Most of the comments below suck shame on you, and if this was one of your family members let's face it all of you would do the same thing pete has ( if any of you had his money!!!!) . All those who say no I would not stand up LIARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we do sympathise with andre's brother it's the fact andre is using his brothers terminal illness to gain publicity for himself
11:39 AM on 03/27/2012
I was not aware Pete Andre needed the publicity, seems to me he is doing just fine in his own right even his would not be so self centred to do that COME ON NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10:00 PM on 03/26/2012
I'm sorry that the guy is ill, but just want to point out that there has been more press coverage over this than for the six Brit soldiers killed last week!
07:05 AM on 03/27/2012
Agree totally.
07:14 AM on 03/27/2012
Hardly Peters' fauld is it,
10:08 PM on 03/27/2012
Not Andre's fault???? So who is leaking info to the media?????
