Peter Andre

Peter Andre sent a text to Michael Jackson’s brother when he heard the star was in a coma.

And Tito Jackson, 55, replied to the Aussie singer, 36, as he headed to the UCLA Medical Center.

‘At the time when there were reports of Michael being in a coma I texted Tito saying, “Please God, tell me this isn't true” and he said, “I'm going to the hospital to find out,”’ says Peter.

‘Imagine you not even knowing what's going on with your own brother? I was shocked that he even texted me back.’

Peter and Tito are now in regular contact. 

‘I was a massive Michael Jackson fan and Tito and I have become very good friends,’ he tells This Morning. ‘He's a very very nice man and I feel for that family so much.’
