London, Dec 7 : Peter Andre said that his divorce from Katie Price still `tortured' him and that he suffered panic attacks on seeing his kids play with Price's next husband Alex Reid.

Andre said that he used to suffer panic attacks years ago but they were triggered again after 17 years when he saw pictures of cage fighter Reid playing with his kids, Junior, now six, Princess Tiaamii, four, and stepson Harvey, nine, just weeks after his split with Price.

"It killed me... That night I woke up about two in the morning and I felt like I had been hit on the head with a hammer," the Sun quoted him as telling the ITV show Piers Morgan's Life Stories.

"I started to panic. It was horrible," he said.

Price and Andre split up in 2009 after three and a half years of marriage but when asked if he still loved her he replied in affirmative.

"As the mother of my children, yes..." he said.

"I've moved on in leaps and bounds in one way but in another way, I'm still a bit tortured inside," he added. (ANI)
