Peter Andre wants to live until he's 120

Asked his hopes for 2026, he told Britain's OK! magaizine: "[To find] a cure for all the ills of old age, or to slow down ageing altogether.

"It might not be in my lifetime - or my mum's, much as I'd pray for it - but I hope it's there in my children's lifetime. I'm aiming to live to 115, 120. Wishful thinking, but my hope would be our kids outliving us all."

Mortality is on Peter's mind at the moment because he is worried his 89-year-old mother Thea - who has Parkinson's and dementia - is facing her last Christmas.

He said: "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.

"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."

The Mysterious Girl hitmaker feels emotional when thinking about his parents, who live in Australia.

He said: "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."

Peter and Emily celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary this summer and though the pop star thinks he is "too old" to stay married as long as his parents have, he believes they will have a long and happy union.

He said: "Will we make it to 70 years of marriage like my mum and dad? Probably not, as I'm too old! But Emily's someone I could easily see myself being married to for 70 years.

"We might disagree on the thermostat, but we've never had a serious argument in 10 years. We're solid. When things feel negative and a bit harsh, you realise the love you've got."
