PETER Andre remembered his late brother Andrew today in a touching throwback post.
The presenter’s sibling died from cancer eight years ago and Peter told fans he misses him very much.
Sharing a picture of him, Andrew and brother Michael goofing around, Peter wrote: “The ultimate throwback of ours. Me my brother @mrmichaelandre1 and our late brother Andrew. Our usual clowning around. Man I miss you brother.
“Yeah we were picked on and outcast for years but we also had some amazing times and are friends now with so many of the people that didn’t like us. Life is strange sometimes and way way way too short.”
Pete’s followers flooded his comments with kind words, with one writing: “Beautiful pic. Treasure the memories x.”
Another posted: “Gorgeous photo of you and your brother. Yous were so alike . As Junior -andre. is your absolute double xx
.”
A third shared: “Sending you loads of love 
.”
Just last night Peter recalled being bullied at school in a chat with his brother Danny on reality show Life With The Andres.
He admitted it still bothered him to this day, after he was beaten up and called names as a teen because of his Cypriot heritage.
Meanwhile in May Peter posted an emotional tribute to Andrew on his birthday saying: “I think about you every day”.
The 47-year-old‘s sibling lost his battle with kidney cancer in 2012.
He was left devastated by the 54-year-old’s untimely passing and today marked his birthday with a special message on Instagram.
Peter said: “Happy birthday my brother.
“RIP. Thinking of you every day until we meet again.”
Peter struggled to cope with Andrew’s death and begged his wife Emily to leave him as he battled depression in the aftermath.
The singer bravely opened up about his mental health battle last year, revealing he has been on and off medication and in therapy ever since.
Peter explained: “I told Emily: ‘You can either stay and stick with me through this, which I personally wouldn’t, or you can go.’
“And she said: ‘It’s not even a question, we are going to get through it together’.”
Andrew passed away from kidney cancer in December 2012 after a 10-month battle with the illness, a spokesperson said at the time: “Peter is devastated. He was very, very close to his brother.

“This is the very first family member Peter has experienced losing. He just needs time to grieve.”
It was thought that Andrew had been responding well to treatment before his health deteriorated in November, with a family friend confirming that “everyone was with him when he passed away”, adding: “There wasn’t one waking minute when he wasn’t with somebody.”
Peter previously said of his brother’s diagnosis: “I was horrified, so shocked, and I broke down.
“The tears were just rolling down my face and I’ve cried every day since.”
