PETER Andre has shared a heartbreaking update on his mother’s health, admitting he worries this Christmas may be her last.
89-year-old Thea, who lives in Australia, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s back in 2023.
Peter has spoken over the last year about his mother’s deteriorating health and the heartache that comes with it.
And in a new interview with OK! Magazine, he admitted: “Of course I worry this could be Mum’s last Christmas.
“She’s very delicate. Her Parkinson’s has progressed quite a bit. Her speech is almost gone. She’ll say a word or two. It’s heartbreaking, because she’s our world, our pillar of strength.”
Peter, who was raised in Australia, often goes back Down Under to visit Thea and his dad Savvas, 92.
His older sister, Debbie, also resides back home and helps to look after their parents.
Admitting that it’s tough to also see his dad’s health decline with age, the dad-of-five said: “Then I see Dad and he’s 92 and with her every single day. But he’s getting delicate now, too.
“His memory’s going, but I am so grateful that they made that milestone I prayed for – 70 years of marriage in September.”
“It’s a raw pain. I’m a grown man, but I still can’t accept in my heart that these things happen to the people I love the most,” he added.
In September last year, Peter shared a heartwarming clip of his parents to social media as they celebrated their 69th anniversary,
His dad, Savvas, could be seen in the clip bringing wife Thea a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
He wrote at the time: “You inspire me so much mum and dad. Love you so very much.
“My 91-year-old dad giving flowers to my beautiful mum.”
Last year, Peter’s eldest children, 20-year-old Junior and Princess, 18, took a solo trip to visit their grandparents last year.
The holiday fell just days after his wife Emily MacDonagh had given birth to their third child together, Arabella.
The couple also share kids Theo and Amelia, while Peter shares his eldest children with ex-Katie Price.
At the time, the singer shared how proud he was of Princess and Junior for taking the time to visit Emily in hospital after labour before then flying to Austrlia.
He said on Instagram: “Junior and princess. The fact that you drove to Somerset to be with us hours before and the days that followed to see the arrival of your baby sister,”
“AND THEN to get on a plane and travel 12,000 miles to be with your grandmother in a very difficult time for her shows me what beautiful children you are.”
