Peter Andre has been in Cyprus with his 2 children

Peter Andre has reassured his fans that reports of his brother Andrew's kidney cancer spreading are untrue.

Peter, 39, was said to have been told the devastating news while he was in Cyprus with his children but the singer says he never received such a phone call.

'What actually happened was that Andrew and his wife Magda were meant to be coming on holiday with us, but at the last minute he couldn't come due to his health,' says Peter.

'Andrew is facing constant challenges at the moment but, in my heart, I truly believe he will beat this.'

Since Pete returned from his trip with children Junior, 7, and Princess, 4, he's been focusing on spending time with 55-year-old Andrew and other members of his family.

He was happy to let Magda play a part when he threw Junior a birthday tea party with 15 of his classmates last week.

'Andrew's wife Magda helped me cook dinner,' says Peter.

'There was a magician and a disco, and Junior told me it was the best party he'd ever had in his life!'
